| 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 acure 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. 3. To assess the feasibility of 'stocking' wetlands in order to establish breeding populations of desired amphibian species. 4. To evaluate the relative success of small temporary wetlands versus a larger permanent body of water stocked with the same amphibian." States that "experiments of chronic exposures of three fungicides were conducted on two species of amphibians and data indicates that concentrations of Fore had significant effects on survival, growth, and time to metamorphosis of tadpoles. LC50 determinations indicate dramatic differences in toxicity among the three compounds evaluated with Chipco being the least toxic to amphibians." This three-year study began in 1997. |
