USGA Summary Points: | While many studies of pesticide exposure use mortality as an endpoint, there may be very serious sublethal effects that are frequently overlooked and thus unaccounted for in experimental studies. We focus on effects that alter the normal physiology, behavior, and life history attributes of amphibians. These sublethal effects may go largely unnoticed while they nonetheless affect population viability. Our experiments focus on the effects of chronic exposure to 2,4-D on southern leopard frog (Rana sphenocephala). We focus on changes in standard metabolic rates, lipid allocation, swimming and feeding behaviors, growth, and age/size at metamorphosis. This research will provide the golf industry with a better understanding of the consequencies of improper pesticide application. |
