Abstract
Newly metamorphosed individuals of the Kenyan reed frog, Hyperolius viridiflavus ferniquei , are able completely to regenerate amputated digits, including the morphologically complex digital pad. The sequence of morphological events is very similar to that seen in the typical epimorphic regeneration of amphibian extremities. Amputated forearms typically produce hypomorphic spike regenerates. Despite the lack of underlying hand and digital structures, an apical “digital” pad commonly differentiates.Publisher
