| Abstract/Contents: | Presents a study with the following objectives: "1. To test the reltive [relative] toxicity of the most commly [commonly] used pesticides (i.e. insecticides, fungicides, and herbicides) with three diverse taxa of amphibians. 2. To develop a more complete and biologicaly 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." This three year study began in 1997. |

| USGA Summary Points: | Golf course wetlands can serve as release sites for rare amphibians and increase the number of breeding locations for species of special concern. Observed a tendency for spring breeding amphibians to make more frequent use of shallow bodies of water and summer breeding amphibians to use deeper, more permanent water. Conventional water hazards had little cover for adult amphibians and were rapidly colonized by bullfrogs. In 1999, only one species, American toad, successfully bred in conventional golf course water hazards. |
