- W2334112107 abstract "the land. Romer (1945) has suggested that the tetrapod limb is an adaptive modification permitting primitive aquatic amphibians confined in some drying pool of the Devonian landscape to leave this pool in search of asylum in a larger body of water. Orton (1954) argues that this is contrary to experience since, if the lands are drying, the amphibians tend to congregate in the dampest spots available rather than to disperse across the arid and inhospitable terrain. She suggests that the tetrapod limb originated as a burrowing device to permit estivation during times of drought and that the amphibians emerged on land in the Mississippian when more humid conditions prevailed. Ewer (1955) points out that this thesis fails to answer the question of why the amphibians should have left the water at a time when aquatic habitats were expanding. He discusses three different patterns of behavior by which the South African Clawed Toad, Xenopus laevis, has responded to the drying of its normal habitat. Usually the toads estivate by simply burrowing in the mud. As Ewer points out, this is in keeping with Orton's" @default.
