Leopard frog (Rana pipiens), green frog (Rana clamitans), and American toad (Bufo americanus) embryos were exposed to different un-ionized ammonia (NH 3 ) levels over an ecologically relevant range (0-2 mg NH 3 /L H 2 O). Hatching success and prevalence of deformities were recorded after acute expos

Embryos and newly hatched larvae of three amphibian species, the spotted salamander (Ambystoma maculatum), the northern leopard frog (Rana pipiens), and the African clawed frog (Xenopus laevis), were exposed to fluoranthene and ultraviolet (UV) light in two scenarios. Embryos were exposed in a labor
As part of a land-application wastewater disposal system in central Pennsylvania, vernal ponds are commonly exposed to wastewater effluent containing high levels of boron and nitrate. We examined the individual effects of these compounds on the eggs of amphibians breeding in these ponds. Wood frog (
## Abstract We examined the effects of atrazine (0โ20 mg/L) on embryos, larvae, and adult anuran amphibian species in the laboratory. Atrazine treatments did not affect hatchability of embryos or 96โh posthatch mortality of larvae of __Rana pipiens, Rana sylvatica__, or __Bufo americanus__. Further
## Abstract The effects of simulated microgravity (clinostat rotation at 6 rpm) on the presumptive ectodermal cells of amphibian embryos were examined. When morulae of __Cynops pyrrhogaster__ developed under the influence of simulated microgravity, the thickness of the presumptive ectoderm was grea
