<i>Rhinella fernandezae</i> (garden toad): eggs and embryos predation by leeches
Predation of eggs and embryos is one reason for early mortality in anurans, and it is known that embryos of several amphibian species can accelerate their hatching as a mechanism to reduce predation risk (Warkentin 2000. Anim. Behav. 60:503–510; Chivers et al. 2001. Oikos 92:135-142).
