Abstract: Escape responses, orienting reflexes, and social behaviors in Xenopus laevis tadpoles have been well documented in the literature (Lee et al. 2010; Roberts et al. 2000; Simmons et al. 2004; Katz et al. 1981; Villinger and Waldman 2012). In this article, we describe several behavioral protocols that together allow researchers efficiently (in terms of financial cost and time investment) and effectively assess developmental abnormalities in pre-metamorphic Xenopus tadpoles.
