Abstract
⺠Neither hormone is consistently more effective at inducing spermiation across species. ⺠All five species from the family Myobatrachidae released more spermatozoa in response to LHRHa. ⺠All three species from the family Lymnodynastidae released more spermatozoa in response to hCG. ⺠These results provide preliminary evidence that hCG and LHRHa efficacy in anurans may be predicted by phylogeny.
