Sublethal effects of UV-B radiation on larval amphibians

Creator:

Belden, Lisa K.

Abstract:

Ultraviolet-B radiation (UV-B) has been suggested as a factor contributing to global amphibian population declines. While ambient UV-B levels damage the eggs and embryos of some amphibian species, few studies have addressed how UV-B affects other life history stages or sublethal responses. My dissertation focuses on (1) investigations of sublethal...

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...
