  • Indirect effects of ultraviolet-B radiation on larval amphibians as mediated by food quality and trophic interactions

    Creator:
    Scheessele, Erin A.
    Abstract:
    Ultraviolet-B radiation (UVB) is an abiotic stressor in both terrestrial and aquatic systems. The stratospheric ozone layer, depleted due to anthropogenic activities and the cause of elevated UVB at earth's surface over the last four decades, is predicted to recover by 2065. However, UVB levels in aquatic systems may continue...

  • Multiple stressors and amphibian population declines

    Creator:
    Hatch, Audrey C.
    Abstract:
    In the past decade, declines in amphibian populations have captured scientific and popular interest. The causes of the declines are likely to be complex and involve interactions between several environmental stressors. Using multifactorial experiments, I investigated the combined effects of several anthropogenic stressors on developing amphibians in Oregon, USA. In...

  • Effects of pesticides on amphibians with special reference to the pyrethroidinsecticide, cypermethrin

    Creator:
    Biga, Lindsay M.
    Abstract:
    Pollution by pesticides is a ubiquitous concern for wildlife. The effects of pesticides are especially concerning in aquatic environments, which are particularly vulnerable as they have several exposure routes for the influx of chemicals. These effects are of particular concern as biodiversity loss reaches unprecedented rates. This includes recent declines...
