Excessively used pesticides in agricultural areas are spilled into aquatic environments,
wherein they are suspended or sedimented. Owing to climate change, herbicides are the …

Concern over global amphibian declines and possible links to agrochemical use has led to
research on the endocrine disrupting actions of agrochemicals, such as fertilizers …

The toxicity of microplastics (MPs) to aquatic animals is closely related to the presence and
release kinetics of contained additives, as most plastic products contain various additives …

The unsustainable use of manmade chemicals poses significant threats to biodiversity and
human health. Emerging evidence highlights the potential of certain chemicals to cause …

The herbicide linuron can cause endocrine disrupting effects in Xenopus tropicalis frogs,
including offspring that were never exposed to the contaminant. The mechanisms by which …

In anuran amphibians (frogs and toads), evidence linking pollution to population declines is
limited, in particular through impaired reproduction. Here we review the evidence for …

Underlying drivers of species extinctions need to be better understood for effective
conservation of biodiversity. Nearly half of all amphibian species are at risk of extinction, and …

Inhibition of androgen signaling during critical stages of ovary development can disrupt
folliculogenesis with potential consequences for reproductive function later in life. Many …

Wildlife is exposed to a diverse range of natural and man-made chemicals. Some
environmental chemicals possess specific endocrine disrupting properties, which have the …

One of the causes of the global decline of amphibians is agricultural activity, responsible for
causing habitat fragmentation and bringing a range of agrochemicals and fertilizers in the …
