===Development in the presence of predators===
The presence of a predator in the early development of the tadpole affects its metamorphic traits. For example, it can lead to a longer larval period and a smaller size and mass at metamorphosis.<ref name="Vodrážková-2022" /> Once the predator is removed, the growth rate of the tadpole returns to, or even exceeds, baseline. This influence of predator threat is only significant during early tadpole development.<ref name="Vodrážková-2022">{{cite journal |last1=Vodrážková |first1=M. |last2=Šetlíková |first2=I. |last3=Navrátil |first3=J. |last4=Berec |first4=M. |date=12 May 2022 |title=Different time patterns of the presence of red-eared slider influence the ontogeny dynamics of common frog tadpoles |journal=Scientific Reports |volume=12 |issue=1 |pages=7876 |doi=10.1038/s41598-022-11561-6 |pmid=35552438 |pmc=9098440 |bibcode=2022NatSR..12.7876V |s2cid=248759763 |ref=devpred}}</ref>

One of the common frog's most pervasive predators is the red-eared slider (''[[Red-eared slider|''Trachemys scripta elegans'']]''), which is a very invasive species of turtle.
