It is a widely held belief that environmental contaminants contribute to the decline of
amphibian populations. By spending most of their early life in water and later stages on the …

Pyraclostrobin, one of the most widely used fungicides globally, is highly toxic to aquatic
organisms, which restricts its application in paddy fields. Most studies have focused on the …

Roundup® is currently the most widely used and sold agricultural pesticide in the world. The
objective of this work was to investigate the effects of Roundup® on energy metabolism …

Freshwater habitats are globally threatened by human-induced secondary salinization.
Amphibians are generally poorly adapted to survive in saline environments. We …

Accurately predicting the accumulation and toxicity of metals in organisms is a challenging
work in ecotoxicology. Here, we developed and validated a physiologically based …

Abstract Chlorpyrifos [O, O-diethyl-O-(3, 5, 6-trichloro-2-pyridyl) phosphorothioate] is a
widely used non-systemic organophosphorus insecticide frequently detected in surface …

Sediments are important elements of aquatic ecosystems and in general sediments
accumulate diverse toxic substances. Amphibians potentially have a greater risk of exposure …

Pesticides and other chemicals often have detrimental effects at environmental
concentrations. Many amphibian species are particularly threatened because of their …

Difenoconazole is a widely used but difficult-to-degrade fungicide that can directly affect
aquatic ecosystems. Here, two doses (0.488 mg/L, 1.953 mg/L) of difenoconazole were used …

The present study was undertaken to evaluate the median lethal concentration (LC 50),
morphological deformities and changes in behavioural responses caused by commercial …
