Salinization and pollution are two main environmental stressors leading deterioration to
water quality and degradation of aquatic ecosystems. Amphibians are a highly sensitive …

Aquatic animals often display physiological adjustments to improve their biological
performance and hydrosaline balance in saline environments. In addition to energetic costs …

Despite mounting concerns about amphibian population declines, information on impact of
pesticides on physiological changes is meager. The present study deals the influence of an …

In this study we explore the sub-lethal effects of two malaria vector control pesticides,
deltamethrin and dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT), on Xenopus laevis by …

Studies of aquatic invertebrates reveal that salinity affects feeding and growth rates,
reproduction, survival, and diversity. Little is known, however, about how salinity impacts the …

The increasing use of agrochemicals, alone and in combination, has been implicated as a
potential causative factor in the decline of amphibians worldwide. Fertilizers and pesticides …

Simple Summary This study explored physiological resilience to and recovery from saline
exposure in Pelophylax nigromaculatus, a semi-aquatic frog that is widely distributed in East …

The mesonephroi of two groups of Rana esculenta collected from two rice fields near Pavia,
one relatively unpolluted and one polluted, were morphologically and histochemically …

Organophosphate insecticides such as chlorpyrifos are commonly detected in surface
waters around the world, where they are highly toxic to many organisms. The frog …

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