Why is it important?
larval Hylarana temporalis, which are prey for wide variety of predators inhabiting streams, rivers and isolated pockets of water in the western ghats, exhibit dual mechanism of predator recognition. They have innate ability to detect certain predators while also exhibiting learned predator detection through the association of novel predatory cues with familiar conspecific alarm cues.
