After hatching, the effect of developmental stage on NBC was marginally non-significant (Table 2 ), as tadpoles in any stage did not differ from each other significantly, while there was a small but significant difference between post-metamorphic toads and metamorphosing individuals such that the post-metamorphs had slightly fewer (ca. 1 compound less) bufadienolides (Fig. 2 , Additional file 1 : Table S2).
