Freshwater ecosystems worldwide are threatened by salinisation caused by human
activities. Scientific attention on the ecological impacts of salinisation from road deicing salts …

Descriptions of amphibian habitat, both aquatic and terrestrial, often include plants as
characteristics but seldom is it understood whether and how those plants affect amphibian …

Road-salt runoff is an increasing problem in areas of North America that receive snow. Its
effects include groundwater salinization, loss or reduction in lake turnover, and changes in …

The input of senescent terrestrial leaf litter into soil and aquatic ecosystems is one of the
most massive cyclic subsidies on Earth, particularly within forested ecosystems. For …

In vertebrates, sex determination occurs along a continuum from strictly genotypic (GSD),
where sex is entirely guided by genes, to strictly environmental (ESD), where rearing …

Salinization is of major global concern due to its effect on stream biota, and ecosystem
functions and services. In small streams, litter decomposition is a key ecosystem-level …

Neonicotinoid insecticides are used extensively in agriculture and, as a consequence, are
now detectable in nearby aquatic environments. Few studies have evaluated the effects of …

We exposed Blanchard's cricket frogs (Acris blanchardi) to ecologically relevant
concentrations (0, 0.1, 1, and 10 μg/L) of a commercial formulation of atrazine throughout the …

All amphibian species are known to have genetic sex determination. However, a variety of
environmental conditions can moderate sexual differentiation, in some cases leading to sex …

Anthropogenic salinization of freshwater is a global problem with largely unknown
consequences for stream functions. We compared the effects of salt addition (6 gl− 1 NaCl) …
