摘要
Crested newt females and males appeared to have similar age at sexual maturity, longevity and annual survival rates, and probably insignificant growth during adult phase. The hypothesis, that processes operating during juvenile life rather than during adulthood promote intersex differences in adult body size in this species, seems to hold.
