Seasonal Variation in Gonads of Bufo Viridis in Rajasthan

AbstractAmphibian populations have declined significantly in recent years due to habitat depletion and poor management of agro ecosystems. A change in climate, habitat, etc., has an impact on amphibian's capacity to reproduce. Similar to other amphibians, Bufo viridis are seasonal breeders, meaning that most of the year is spent in reproductive activity, with the gonads remaining essentially dormant for the remainder of the year. The purpose of the study was to determine the seasonal variations in the activity of the ovaries and testes of mature Bufo viridis inhabitants of the Rajasthan area.
