In principle? Sure. Developmental programs can change triggers. I don't know whether such a change is possible in practice in frogs.
It was just an example that came quickly to mind. I assumed it had already been studied - at least in part - and your answer indicates it has - except maybe for the last part. So is there no interest (funding) in determining whether tadpoles might reach maturity and reproduce? I would have several other questions that stem from there, but that would be a starting point.
