Toxicology of Amphibian Tadpoles

Boca Raton 2023, geb., 334 Seiten, Abb. Anuran amphibians are among the animal groups with the highest rate of population decline on the planet. Among the factors driving this decline are environmental pollutants, whose negative effects on larvae and tadpoles are still relatively little studied. This is the first book devoted entirely to studying the effects of environmental pollu-tants on amphibian tadpoles. Throughout its 14 chapters, various aspects of the toxic effects of different classes of environmental contaminants are explored, such as the toxicokinetics of tox-ic compounds in tadpoles and their health effects, which may result in negative consequences at populations level.
