Abstract: Viticulture is one of the most pesticide-intensive agricultures in Europe leading to a spatio-temporal overlap of amphibian migration and pesticide applications. Since post-metamorphic, terrestrial amphibian stages are mostly neglected in ecotoxicological studies, we investigated acute… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/etc.5477
Abstract: Amphibians have been facing global declines over the last decades from direct and indirect effects of anthropogenic activities. A contributor to declines is waterway contamination from agricultural runoffs of pesticides such as neonicotinoids. Beyond direct… read more here.

Abstract: Global amphibian declines due to the fungal pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) have led to questions about how amphibians defend themselves against skin diseases. Two amphibian defense mechanisms are antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), a component of amphibian… read more here.
