摘要 铲足蟾蜍已成为解决生态和进化发育生物学（eco-evo-devo）中基本问题的模型系统。它们的蝌蚪产生多种适应性表型，直接响应不同的环境刺激。这种表型可塑性为研究生物体的生态如何影响其发育以及生物体的发育如何影响其生态和进化提供了绝佳的机会。通过表征和理解有机体的环境、其发育反应及其在自然种群中的生态相互作用之间的相互联系，此类研究有望进一步阐明环境不仅在选择不同表型方面的作用，而且在首先创造此类表型方面的作用。
SUMMARY Spadefoot toads have emerged as a model system for addressing fundamental questions in ecological and evolutionary developmental biology (eco‐evo‐devo). Their tadpoles produce a wide range of adaptive phenotypes in direct response to diverse environmental stimuli. Such phenotypic plasticity offers an excellent opportunity to examine how an organism's ecology affects its development as well as how an organism's development influences its ecology and evolution. By characterizing and understanding the interconnectedness between an organism's environment, its development responses, and its ecological interactions in natural populations, such research promises to clarify further the role of the environment in not only selecting among diverse phenotypes, but also creating such phenotypes in the first place.
