Abstract/Contents: | Presents a study with the following objectives: "1. To test the relative toxicity of the most commonly used pesticides (insecticides, fungicides and herbicides) with three diverse taxa of amphibians. 2. To develop a more complete and biologically realistic testing protocol including: a) multiple species; b) short term acute and long term chronic tests; c) multiple life history stages; d) multiple indicators of biological impact; and e) an environment that provides the opportunity to detoxify or potentiate chemicals with more biological realism." In addition, field studies will be conducted "to access the feasibility of 'stocking' wetlands in order to establish breeding populations of desired amphibian species" and "to evaluate the relative success of small temporary wetlands versus a larger permanent body of water stocked with the same amphibians." This three-year study will begin in 1997. |
