ABSTRACT
Many amphibian and reptile populations are presently in decline. As environmental contaminants have been implicated as a possible cause of some declines, there has been a great deal of interest in reptile and amphibian ecotoxicology. Data resulting from earlier published research on the effects of environmental contaminants on amphibians were tabulated and assessed in a Canadian Wildlife Service report published in 1989 (Harfenist A., T. Power, K.L. Clark and D.B. Peakall. 1989. A Review and Evaluation of the Amphibian Toxicological Literature. Technical Report Series No. 61. Canadian Wildlife Service, Headquarters). In the present document we attempt to bring this earlier report up to date by adding data from the more recent literature on amphibian ecotoxicology, and at the same time expand it by adding data on the effects of environmental contaminants on reptiles. As the project progressed, it became clear that making the information in the database electronically searchable might be beneficial to users of the database. Therefore, a graphical user interface (GUI) was added to the database to allow the user to perform custom searches and generate reports. The database can be searched in a number of ways, for instance, by contaminant group, common name, trade name or CAS number; by species, genus, or higher taxonomic group; by author; or by certain toxicological effects categories. Combined searches are also possible. The database and GUI will be available to be downloaded from a CWS website; please contact the authors for details. The RATL (Reptile and Amphibian Toxicology Literature) database contains data extracted from the primary literature for amphibian and reptile ecotoxicology studies published up to and including 1997; there are some data from studies published in 1998 and 1999. As of September, 2000, there was approximately 2000 references in the database. Citations were gathered through searches of various literature databases, but these searches concentrated on the environmental pollution literature with the result that our bibliography cannot be considered exhaustive. Thus the authors would be happy to hear about (even happier to receive copies of) publications and grey literature reports not included in our reference list. The user should also be aware that certain fields of research (e.g. effects of administration of pharmaceuticals or hormones) may not be well covered in the database. The information in this report has been organized into eight main tables categorized by the type of study which generated the data: 1) laboratory studies (except traditional acute toxicity studies), 2) field studies, 3) tissue residue studies, 4) acute toxicity studies, 5) studies examining the effect of pH changes, 6) FETAX (Frog Embryo Teratogenicity Assay Xenopus) studies, 7) contaminant review papers, and 8) general publications dealing with amphibian and reptile population declines. While these tables provide summaries of the data, the purpose of RATL is to provide the user with the appropriate references to the primary amphibian and reptile ecotoxicology literature. In other words, because the data in RATL have
i
been extracted from primary sources, a process subject to interpretation and editing, it is recommended that the user consult the original reference before using the data presented in the RATL database. Although this CWS Technical Report is available as a static copy available from a CWS website, data and references will be added to the electronic copy of the database, and the GUI will be modified as a result of suggestions and feedback from users. Therefore, we consider the RATL database as under construction. Finally, this CWS Technical Report represents only a subset of the data provided in the electronic copy of the database which is available at the website mentioned above.

PRFACE
De nombreuses populations damphibiens et de reptiles sont actuellement en dclin. Comme les contaminants de lenvironnement ont t identifis comme tant une cause possible de certains dclins, lintrt pour lcotoxicologie des reptiles et des amphibiens sest accru de beaucoup. Les donnes tires de recherches publies antrieurement concernant les effets des contaminants de lenvironnement sur les amphibiens ont t mises en tableaux et values dans un rapport du Service canadien de la faune publi en 1989 (Harfenist A., T. Power, K.L. Clark et D.B. Peakall. 1989. A Review and Evaluation of the Amphibian Toxicological Literature, Srie de rapports techniques no 61, Service canadien de la faune, Administration centrale). Le prsent document a pour but de faire une mise jour du rapport prcdent en y ajoutant des donnes tires de documents plus rcents sur lcotoxicologie des amphibiens et, en mme temps, den accrotre la porte en y ajoutant aussi des donnes sur les effets des contaminants de lenvironnement sur les reptiles. mesure que le projet avanait, il est devenu clair que rendre la base de donnes consultable lectroniquement serait peut-tre avantageux pour les utilisateurs. Une interface GUI a donc t ajoute la base de donnes afin de permettre aux utilisateurs deffectuer des recherches personnalises et de produire des rapports. Il y a un certain nombre de faons dexcuter une recherche dans la base de donnes, par exemple, par groupes de contaminants, par noms communs ou de commerce ou par numro de registre CAS; par espce, par genre ou par niveau taxinomique plus lev; par auteur ou par certaines catgories deffets toxicologiques. Il est aussi possible deffectuer des recherches combines. Il sera possible de tlcharger la base de donnes et linterface GUI partir dun site Web du Service canadien de la faune. Veuillez communiquer avec les auteurs pour obtenir plus de renseignements. La Base de donnes bibliographiques sur la toxicologie lie aux reptiles et aux amphibiens (la base RATL) contient des donnes tires dtudes pralables sur lcotoxicologie des amphibiens et des reptiles qui ont t publies jusquen 1997 inclusivement; il y a aussi certaines donnes tires dtudes publies en 1998 et en 1999. Depuis septembre 2000, il y a prs de 2000 rfrences dans la base de donnes. Des citations ont t recueillies lors de recherches dans diverses bases de donnes, mais ces recherches taient concentres sur des textes traitant de la pollution de lenvironnement; notre bibliographie nest donc pas exhaustive. Par consquent, les auteurs seraient heureux dentendre parler de publications ou de rapports de littrature grise qui ne sont pas inscrits notre liste de rfrences, et encore plus heureux de recevoir des exemplaires. Il faut aussi que les utilisateurs sachent que certains domaines de recherche (p. ex. les effets de ladministration de produits pharmaceutiques ou dhormones) peuvent ne pas tre traits en profondeur dans la base de donnes. Dans le prsent rapport, linformation a t organise en huit principaux tableaux et classifie par le type dtude dans laquelle des donnes ont t trouves : 1) les tudes de laboratoires (sauf les tudes traditionnelles sur la toxicit aigu); 2) les tudes sur le terrain; 3) les tudes sur les rsidus de tissus, 4) les tudes sur la toxicit aigu; 5) les tudes qui examinent
iii
les effets des changements du pH; 6) les tudes FETAX (Frog Embryo Teratogenicity Assay - Xenopus); 7) les articles de synthse sur les contaminants; 8) les publications gnrales sur les populations damphibiens et de reptiles en dclin. Alors que ces tableaux donnent un rsum des donnes, le but de la base RATL est de fournir aux utilisateurs les rfrences pertinentes aux documents de fond sur les amphibiens et les reptiles. Autrement dit, parce que les donnes dans la base RATL ont t tires de sources primaires, une dmarche sujette linterprtation et la rvision, nous recommandons aux utilisateurs de consulter la rfrence originale avant dutiliser les donnes prsentes dans la base de donnes de la base RATL. Mme si ce rapport technique du SCF est disponible en format statique sur un site Web du SCF, des donnes et des rfrences seront ajoutes au format lectronique de la base de donnes, et linterface GUI sera modifie suite aux suggestions et aux ractions des utilisateurs. Nous considrons donc que la base de donnes RATL est en construction . Enfin, le prsent rapport technique du SCF ne prsente quun sous-ensemble des donnes qui sont accessibles dans le format lectronique de la base de donnes du site Web prcit.

INTRODUCTION
Why is there a need for studies in amphibian and reptile ecotoxicology?
A worldwide decline in amphibian and reptile populations has caused great concern in the scientific community. As environmental contaminants have been implicated as a possible cause of some declines, there has been a substantial increase in the amount of amphibian and reptile ecotoxicology research conducted over the last decade. In addition, amphibians and reptiles are considered to be good indicators of general environmental health. Reptiles are long-lived, sedentary beings and therefore may be good biomonitors of their local environment. Amphibians typically have both terrestrial and aquatic life stages and may be susceptible to the effects of environmental contaminants.
Background
In 1989 the Canadian Wildlife Service (CWS) published a report in the CWS Technical Report Series which reviewed the available literature concerning the effects of environmental contaminants on amphibians (Harfenist A., T. Power, K.L. Clark and D.B. Peakall. 1989. A Review and Evaluation of the Amphibian Toxicological Literature. Technical Report Series No. 61. Canadian Wildlife Service, Headquarters). Harfenist et al. (1989) divided their report into data tables containing field data, laboratory data, acute toxicity data, and tissue residue data. The tables were organized by contaminant. The tables summarized the conditions of the study and some of the effects or results that were presented in the original publication. The report also provided a review of principal contaminants and contaminant classes and described short and long term effects, residues and mechanisms of toxicity for each. Contaminant classes that were discussed include insecticides (organochlorines, carbamates, organophosphates and pyrethroids), herbicides and fungicides, bactericides, lampricides, various other organics, metals, radioactive isotopes, and other more generally classified stressors such as industrial effluents, water quality and pH. The Harfenist et al. report was found to be highly useful and was very popular. Nevertheless, it became clear that an updated version of the information, available as an electronic, searchable database, might be of some benefit to the scientific community. Therefore, to meet a growing interest in reptile and amphibian ecotoxicology, we decided to compile a new version of the Harfenist et al. report which would include updated information on amphibian ecotoxicology and include ecotoxicological data on reptiles. We attempted to obtain as much primary literature as we could on these subjects, as well as literature concerning the effects of other environmental stressors. Examples of the latter might be increases in temperature or effects of exposure to non-traditional environmental contaminants (such as pharmaceutical products that may be contained in waste streams). In the process, we developed a database we called the Reptile and Amphibian Toxicological Literature (RATL) database and made the database interactively searchable using a graphical user interface. The graphical user interface allows the user to perform custom searches and generate reports. For instance, searches can be made by: contaminant group, common name, trade name or CAS number; by species, genus, or higher taxonomic group; by author; or by certain toxicological effects categories. Combined searches are also possible. Finally, a decision was made to make the database and
interface software available to anyone who wanted to download it from a site on the World Wide Web.
Limitations of RATL
The RATL database is intended as a tool to search for data contained in the published literature. It was not possible to extract and enter all relevant or pertinent data from the original papers and the primary source should be consulted for full details on methodology, specific toxicological effects, and authors conclusions. Further, although the information in RATL was extracted from the primary sources as accurately as possible, it might be considered an interpretation of the text and data provided in the papers, and should therefore be used with caution. In addition, study endpoints and exposure routes were generally assigned using standardized classification terms (these can be found in Appendix 6); sometimes these were not specifically reported in the paper. In effect, the level of detail reported in the RATL database does not reflect the amount of information provided in the original primary source. For these reasons, it is highly recommended that the user obtain the original reference before using the data presented in this report or obtained from the RATL database.

Reduced survival occurred for enhanced UV-B (15-30%); treatments (18%) compared to ambient sunlight and control treatments. 1 month later: 18.4% survival, 16/20 had lens opacities. Hatching success was unaffected by UV-B; photolyase activity was high relative to other amphibians. Significantly high increase in egg mortality with enhanced UV-B treatment. Sig. differences in hatching success between treatments (blocked UV, ambient sunlight) and the enhanced UV-B (15-30%) treatment. 56% hatched for UV-B enhanced and 90% hatched in ambient sunlight. Reduced survival occurred for enhanced UV-B (15-30%); treatments (2.6%) compared to ambient sunlight and control treatments. 1 month later: 2.6% survival. 12/16 had lens opacities.

Frequency of micronucleated erythrocytes= 315/1000. An increase in metabolism of hydroxycoumarin and resorufin derivatives occurred. Microsomal protein content and ratio of liver and body weights are presented. After 10 d of holding frogs in water, four metabolites of 4-4'dichlorobiphenyl were found in water samples that were similar to those found from rat or rabbit metabolism. Metabolites of substances were isolated and identified by chromatographic and spectroscopic methods. Metabolites of substances were isolated and identified by chromatographic and spectroscopic methods. Egg hatch not sig. affected by conc. up to 798 mg/L; effect in first wk post hatch mortality. Growth rate decreased and abnormalities increased in larvae exposed to 382 and 798 mg/L. All tadpoles exposed to 5 ppm survived. Sig. decrease in mean activity time recorded at 1000 ppm but not at 500 ppm. Approximately 0.6 ppm after 1 d (identical to conc. in water). Conc. dependent enhanced metamorphosis in acetone-treated animals. At 50 mg/L rate of precocious metamorphosis was not sig. dif from that produced by 0.1 mg/L thyroxin. DMSO showed no effect. > 400 ppm= 100% mortality; 300 ppm= 50% mortality; 200 ppm no lethal effect during 1 wk observation. At 10 ppm accelerated metamorphosis by 2 d in 80% animals; 20% did not complete metamorphosis and were malformed. Frequency of micronucleated erythrocytes: 0.2 ppm= 12/1000; 2 ppm= 74/1000. It was concluded that Ag activates the Ca channel by acting on SH groups in a Ca channel protein. Results indicate that mobilization of the ACh quanta readily available for release might be a common mechanism underlying both frequency facilitation and two components of PTP (augmentation and potentiation).

Percent mortality lower in frogs from treated fields than those collected from no or minimal treatment. 0.01 g/mL= 40% mortality; 0.05 g/mL= 70% mortality in 36 h. 5 ppm= 100% mortality at 15 d, 15 ppm= 100% mortality at 10 d. 1 ppm not toxic. Inhibition of Na-, K-, and Mg-dependent ATPase may have been related to cell membrane alteration. % conc. ranged from 0.006 (215 min) to 0.125 (55 min) ppm where time is time until death. Motor end plate: 10-5 and 10-4 M exerted both pre-and postsynaptic actions; caused increase in end-plate potential frequency and decrease in amplitude. Sartorius nerve muscle: 25 x10-5 M produced increase in endplate potential to 4 times control level at 20 min, after which amplitude declined and transmission completely blocked. Glycogen increased; lipid increased; cholesterol increased; pyruvate decreased; lactate increased in kidney. Glycogen increased; lipid increased; cholesterol increased; pyruvate decreased; lactate increased in liver. Effects after 1 wk exposure were: depletion of protein in brain, muscle, kidney and intestine; after 2 wks exposure there was an increase in amino acid levels and 4 wks of exposure showed enhanced protease activity and amino transferases. At 30 d exposure, 8 dead in 0.30 ppm; at 0.23 and 0.15, 0 frogs dead. Decreasing rate of accumulation by abdominal skin vs time. In abdominal skin, no changes in short circuit current at 2 x 10 -4 M. Microsomal metabolism in liver (apparent Vmax and Km values): Vmax= 0.056 nmol/min/mg; Km= 43 nmol/mg. Motor end plate: 10-5 and 10-4 exerted both pre- and postsynaptic actions; caused increase in end-plate potential frequency and decrease in their amplitude.

Frequency of micronucleated erythrocytes= 7- 8/1000 for all Fernandez et al. 1989 treatments. Calcium had no effect on limb deformities but development Cummins 1986b rate increased at 16 mg Ca. With a different diet, growth rate decreased at pH= 4. Lowest effect conc= 1 mg/L. Developmental toxicity Sakamoto et al ? occurred in a dose-dependent manner. Caffeine prolonged the after hyperpolarization of an action Fujimoto et al. 1980 potential, reduced the amplitude of ACh potential and induced slow rhythmic hyperpolarizations in a 20mM solution of calcium. High lactate and glucose-6-phosphate conc. and a reduced Nassar-Gentina et al. 1981 phosphocreatine conc. were noted after caffeine. The distribution of precipitate in muscles exposed to caffeine McCallister and Hadek 1973 indicate that this alkaloid acts at some site other than the sarcoplasmic reticulum. Adult vs. development toxicity ratios varied for chemical and Daston et al. 1991 between other animal species tested. A/D ratio= 20. Defects were noted in embryos exposed for four days Daston et al. 1991 postfertilization. Mortality occurs after 24 h= 3 g/L or after 8 h= 5 g/L.

Radioactive calcium determines distribution and transport of Diecke and Stout 1981 calcium in cells. An increase of calcium resulted in increased inhibition of ion Curran and Gill 1962 transport on frog skin and decrease in net sodium transport. Elimination rates were not affected by the dietary treatment. Hinton and Whicker 1992 Frequency of micronucleated erythrocytes: 50 ppm= Fernandez et al. 1989 10/1000; 100 ppm= 18/1000.

Low accumulation without affecting essential metal levels: approx. 2.2 mg Cd/frog (liver and kidney: 1.0 and 0.5 g respectively). Intramuscular administration: accumulation of Cd in kidney and liver by inducing a Cd-binding protein. Embryos cannot tolerate >2 ppm Cd, stages of organogenesis are most sensitive. 0.001-10 High Mg during Cd exposure resulted in reduced effects. Low Mg and Cd exposure lead to increased severity in deformation conc. effect with Cd exposure. 0.25 mg/L Cd; 80% survival and 15% malformed when exposed to Cd alone; 0,2,4 mg/L Zn 92% survival and 11% malformed when exposed to Cd and 2mg/L Zn. 1 mg/L This study showed that by employing potentized microdose solutions it is possible to reduce the lethal effects of cadmium on BUAR embryos to varying degrees.

Frogs force-fed mosquitofish which had been exposed to 2 ppm endrin solution for 7 d: 100 % mortality. Liver and intestine demonstrated microscopic cellular changes: nuclear degeneration, cytoplasmic vacuolation and cell necrosis. 5 % mortality in 0.03 ppm; no mortality at 0.2 or 0.015 ppm. No sig. effect on the short circuit current or resistance in abdominal skin. Frequency of micronucleated erythrocytes= 23/1000. Adult vs. development toxicity ratios varied for chemical and between other animal species tested. A/D ratio=>5. Defects were noted in embryos exposed for four days postfertilization. Activity level decreased at or < 3.6 g/L; dose dependent increase in mortality; decreases in body sizes noted. IC50=0.0078, inhibitor conc. necessary for 50% inhibition of 17-estradiol binding to estrogen receptor. These data suggest the presence of estrogen and progesterone receptors in oviducts of alligators. Caused sex reversal from male to female. Estradiol and DES treatments induced the most vitellogenin; DDT treatments induced smaller amounts of vitellogenin in a dose-dependent fashion. Ovaries contain and secrete testosterone and estradiol, which are stimulated by a gonadotropin preparation promoting ovulation and meiotic maturation. A protein identified as vitellogenin was extractable from the plasma of treated frogs but it was not extractable from the plasma of control specimens. Enhanced enzymatic activity of asparate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase. 100% mortality in 10 min. at 1000 ppm; no effect at <800 ppm for 8 d old tadpoles; 100% mortality for tadpoles kept in 500 ppm from day 7 to day 22.

Results indicate that ethanol-induced contraction may be due to release of ACh or ACh-like neurotransmitter and that calcium acts as mediator to produce these effects. Reduced brain length, reduced body size, hypoplasticity of the anterior region around the mouth. Frequency of micronucleated erythrocytes: 12.5 ppm= 7/1000; 37.5 ppm= 13/1000. Lavage with ethyl acetoacetate produce selective response decrements to cyclohexanone; lavage with 0.5 M produced more persistent response decrements than 0.01 M. Frequency of micronucleated erythrocytes: 1 ppm= 14/1000; 5 ppm= 26.5/1000. 80 % mortality at 50 ppm; 2 % at 10 ppm; 22 % abnormal at 5 ppm; > 5 ppm= 100 % abnormal. Adult vs. development toxicity ratios varied for chemical and between other animal species tested. No effects observed. 7 fold increase in sister chromatid exchanges; mitotic index reduced and cell cycling time lengthened in dose-dependent manner. Micronucleated RBCs increased with increasing conc. at both temps. Increase in pre-mitotic, Gs, population and decrease in mitosis; micronucleated cells present; genotoxicity effects (eye epithelial cells). 10/50 animals developed fibro- and hemangiosarcomas, nephroblastomas and a cavernous hemangioma. No tumors of the nervous system occurred. Frequency of micronucleated erythrocytes: 1 ppm= 50/1000; 10 ppm= 197/1000. High conc.: decreased movement for first 48 h, slower development, abnormalities, decreased feeding rate and weight, 925% mortality. Low conc.: retarded development, no mortality.

Toxicity of ammonia differed with temp; possibly related to skin surface area of animal. Toxicity depended little on the ammonium conc., but rather Dejours et al. 1989d depended mainly on the conc. of dissolved NH3. Ammonia toxicity generally increased with NH3 but at a Dejours et al. 1989c given PNH3 value, toxicity is higher in hypoxia than in normoxia and higher in normoxia than in hyperoxia. Animal size also influenced ammonia toxicity.

No effect of UV-A was found on eggs or larvae even at exposures twice the intensity of normal outdoor levels. All embryos exposed for 30 min or more to UV-B died. Exposure to UV-B for 15 min or less did not affect hatching success. HYRE had highest photolyase active compared to BUBO and RACS. CNEX acquired as adults exhibited normal behaviour and morphology. Those acquired as juveniles and maintained under Vita-Lite exhibited abnormalities in pelvic and caudal regions. Lizards exhibited skeletal deformities and suffered spontaneous vertebral fractures and posterior paresis as they grew.

Formation of primordial germ cells was more suppressed in the pressed egg groups than the non-pressed ones. 70% of larvae at stage I from the pressed and UV-irradiated eggs were germ cell free, but at a stage immediately after metamorphosis all animals had at least some germ cells, although their gonads often were extremely small and poorly differentiated. No effect of UV-A was found on eggs or larvae even at exposures of twice the intensity of normal outdoor levels. All embryos exposed 30 min. or more to UV-B died. UV radiation of a frog's eggs rarely results in sterilization, however, sterilization is greatly improved with compression of the lower pole of the egg or irradiating just before the first division of the egg. Photolyase activity= 0.05, less than AMMA, AMGR and PLVE. Photolyase activity= 0.2, sig. less than HYRE, RACS and BUBO. Effects of cold and pressure resemble effects noted for UV radiation. Irradiation of vegetal pole reduces primordial germ cells, produces cytological damage to the vegetal hemisphere and disruption of the normal mechanism by which the vegetal yolk mass induces the formation of the dorsal axis of the embryo. Photolyase conc.= 0.06 - 0.11, sig. lower than RACS, HYRE and BUBO. 0 - 6.25 ppb= 15-17 /1000 erythrocyte mean micronucleus frequency, 12.5 ppb resulted in death. 0 - 100 ppb= 17-19.5 /1000 erythrocyte mean micronucleus frequency. 0 - 3.125 ppb= 17- 23 /1000 erythrocyte mean micronucleus frequency, 6.25 ppb resulted in death. 0 - 6.25 ppb= 9-27 /1000 erythrocyte mean micronucleus frequency, 12.5 ppb resulted in death. At 25 ppb BaP, 24% of embryos died (toxicity was enhanced with addition of UV exposure). No effects were observed with UV, BaP treatments alone, however, >25 ppb BaP with UV showed toxic effects. When larvae were not irradiated in advance, 90% died when exposed to 50ppb BaP and UV. BaP was 4-fold less genotoxic than non-irradiated BaP.

Larvae accumulated damaged normochromatic erythrocytes in their blood. No dif. were found in behaviour, morphology and growth of larvae between product water and regular tap water. Tap water animals had a sig. delay in development. Oxidative damage to embryonic cells, as well as discussion of biproduct and chelating agent effects. Zn at levels up to 2.0 mg/L did not induce a toxic response in the embryos nor did it affect developmental rate. In the presence of Zn ions, motor end plate channel decay remained exponential, while the time constant of decay was prolonged as single channel conductance and ACh null potential remained virtually unchanged. Motor end-plate channels were increased by Zn. Zn has a protective affect in embryos against spontaneous malformations and lethality. Sig. decrease in survival occurred after 72 h at 32 mg/L (65% survived), no decrease occurred at lower doses; Sig. decrease in survival with combination Zn and Pb doses than with Pb alone. Pb was twice as toxic as Zn when tested alone. 100 % mortality in 39 mg/L within 24 h; 0.1 mg/L all metamorphosed. Serum Zn level 45.3 ppm which is considered toxic to mammals. Following post operative treatment with ceftazidime and Ca EDTA feeding resumed and serum levels dropped to 4.88 ppm after 39 d. 10 -4 M reduced membrane potential to 50 % of control.

CP activation reduced the 96 LC50 from Fort et al. 1988 8.0 - 1.4 mg/mL. Malformation EC50 was reduced to 0.4 mg/mL. Activation also increased the types and severity of malformation and reduced embryonic growth. Initial experiments indicated that high Courchesne and Bantle 1985 conc. lowered the pH of the water to about 3.5. The possible interaction of low pH and DNA synthesis inhibition yielded an LC50 of 2450 mg/L and an EC50 (malformation) of 200 mg/L. For all treatments with cytosine Dawson and Bantle 1987a arabinoside there was no significant difference in mortality. Cytosine arabinoside alone produced 23.6% malformations in survivors. Tadpole.

Results from 3 trials. DMSO potentiated the lethal effect of both teratogens but did not alter significantly the rate of malformation. EC25(96) = 1.2% v/v. There were additive effects for growth for all solvents with the teratogens. Least toxic or teratogenic solvent examined. NOELs for mortality and length were: 1.75, 1.5% v/v (mortality), 1.25, 1.0% v/v (length). Both p-HPPH and m-HPPH (hydroxylated metabolites) were much less developmentally toxic than DPH. No significant difference occurred in mortality resulting from any treatment. Administration alone resulted in 28.9% malformation of survivors. Coadministration of caffeine, theophylline and theobromine significantly increased the incidence of malformations.

Retinoic acid:N = No interaction (No effect greater than that observed for either compound alone; TU=1.35-1.76). Scored as potential teratogens. Metabolism of nicotine to more polar metabolites increased the nicotine conc. required to induce terata. Based on TI values, embryo growth, types, and severity of induced malformations, NDMA was toxic. Malformations were found in >95% of exposed embryos (equal to or >5.6 mol/L). The most frequent malformations in Ni-exposed embryos were ocular, skeletal, and intestinal deformities; less common were facial, cardiac, and integumentary deformities. The ocular abnormalities of Ni2+ exposed tadpoles included microphthalmia, hypopigmentation, hernias and cysts of the choroid and retina, and iris coloboma (cataracts were uncommon). At study termination (after 13 wks) survival of Ni exposed was 60%. Median number of days to metamorphosis = 51 (range: 43-85). Mean body weight after 13 wks = 1.17 (SD=0.49).

More teratogenic than methylmercury chloride. Additive effects occurred with all solvents. EC25(96) and LC50(96) were 0.002% v/v and 0.035% v/v, respectively. Results indicated that a highly embyrotoxic epoxide intermediate, trichloroethylene oxide, formed as a result of the MFO mediated metabolism may play a significant role in the developmental toxicity of trichloroethylene in vitro. Based on TI values, embryo growth and types and severity of induced malformations, TCE was developmentally toxic.

Not observed in ponds with mean pH < 4.62. Freda and Dunson 1986 k At pH 4.3 100% of eggs died (n=200). At pH 5.3, 26% died (n=72), At pH 6.3, 15% died (n=68). At pH 7.0, 22% of eggs died (n=67). Greatest hatching success at pH 5-6. 10 % hatching at pH 4.75 - 5.8; 25% hatching at pH 4.5 and 0% < pH 4.5. At 14 d, mortality was not significantly different between sites. After 28 d of development, mortality was significantly lower in the control ponds than in the ponds lacking AMJE. At both 10C and 15C, pH had a significant effect on hatching success. Temperature and pH interacted to determine the hatching success of the embryos; low pH was more toxic at the lower temperature. Decreasing pH led to decreased hatching success and developmental processes and increased egg mass and larval mortality. Did not hatch below 4.5. Brodman 1993

Embryonic mortality high in ponds below pH 4.5 ; more larval AMJE survived pH 4.1 over 7 days when larval RASY and AMMA were available as prey than when no prey were available; larval AMJE did not metamorphose in pH 4.2 and survived in low numbers. Increased egg mass mortality at both pH levels. Number of arrested embryos was significantly affected by pH. Larval mortality not affected by Pb or pH. Low pH and high Zn resulted in high hatching success; pH and Zn did not increase egg mass mortality. Mortality of embryos increased as pH decreased. No significant correlation between pond pH and % embryonic mortality. Pb: No effect on egg mass mortality or hatching success, hatching success greater at higher pH. pH 5.0: 95 - 100 % hatched; 0 - 40 % hatched at pH 4.0; 5% killed early at pH 4.5 and 5.0 whereas 100 % killed early at pH 4.0. Significant effect of pH on % hatching success; Fe increased egg mass mortality at low pH. The field survey revealed that Al, SO 4 , H+ and Zn were significantly higher in 40 ponds lacking successful breeding of AMJE whereas alkalinity, Cu, DOC, K, Mg, Na, and NO3 were significantly higher in 10 ponds that supported successful breeding. Acute exposure depressed Na influx and markedly accelerated Na efflux - resulting in net loss of 50 % body Na (fatal). Chronic exposure caused 21 - 62 % reduction in body Na level, K content did not change. As a result of increased mortality among AMJE over 7 d, 38% more RASY survived at pH 4.1 than at pH 5.4.

Copper was extremely toxic to both species during both acute and chronic exposures. Acute survival of AMJE was significantly higher at the low pH level (46 vs 0%). Cu resulted in severe toxic effects on early stage larvae, and increased Cu conc. lead to increased larval mortality. Decreased pH lead to increased larval mortality. In the treatment combinations with no metals present, acute survival of AMJE was significantly higher in the high pH treatments (100 vs 88%). AMJE chronic survival was significantly higher in the high pH treatments (96 vs 50%). Increased Zn had a toxic effect on early stage larvae at low pH. Increasing Fe conc. had severe toxic effect on early stage larvae at pH 4.5 but not at higher pH. Interactive effects of pH and metals on a freshwater, palustrine wetland assemblage were measured in 500L outdoor mesocosms.

The all-metals mixture treatment induced significantly higher mortality for both species during acute and chronic exposure. Acute exposure AMJE survival was significantly higher in the high water hardness treatments (63 vs 25%). The presence of Al significantly reduced survival during both acute and chronic exposure.

Low pH exacerbated body water loss in AMJE metamorphs. Dry mass after the experiment did not differ between treatments. Salamanders in pH 3.5 lost approx. 32% initial wet body mass. Those at pH 5.0 lost only 2%. Metamorphs demonstrated a choice of substrate based on pH. For a period of 24 h after they were placed in test containers there was a wide variation in response (no consistent choice). 0% successful hatch, 59.1% curl for embryos treated with acidic bog water. 97.3% successful hatch, 0% curl occurred for embryos treated with control artificial soft water (pH 7.5). No eggs hatched at pH 4.2; 59.1 % embryo developed but did not hatch; 97.3 % hatched at pH 7.5. 0% survival at pH 4.2 (bog water), 100% survival at pH 7.5 (artificial soft water). Swimming activity increased linearly with pH between pH 4.0 and 6.5; activity was significantly lower at pH 5.0 and near inactivity occurred at pH 4.0. Stronger linear relationship than AMMA.

Eggs from ponds with pH 4.5 and 5.0 failed to retract yolk plug; eggs in pH 5.5 developed chest swellings and stunted gills after gastrulation. 71 of 218 ponds sampled contained egg masses, incidence of egg laying in those ponds declined by 23.9% from 1988-1990. pH in successful breeding ponds was significantly higher than failed ponds (5.3 5.64 vs. 5.12 - 5.32). 88% hatching success at pH 6.15; 80 % at pH 4.51. At pH 4.3, 100% of eggs died (n=200). At pH 5.3, 40% of eggs died (n=140), At pH 6.3, 18% of eggs died (n=131), At pH 7.0 18% of eggs died (n=149). Egg mass abundance and survival of embryos not correlated with pond pH. Survival of eggs transferred among ponds of pH 3.66 5.18 reduced only at pH 3.66. Greatest hatching success at pH 7 - 9. Hatching success was negatively correlated with Al and DOC and positively correlated with pH. Initial pervitelline fluid pH decreased significantly 7 to 96 h after initial immersion in eggs in water. Rate of H+ flux into the fluid is greater in eggs in pH 4 than those in pH 5 or 6. Mortality low during early embryonic development. Abnormalities observed at low pH. 0-1% hatched at pH 3.5 - 4.0 at 12 and 21C. Greatest hatching success (40-81 % hatched) at 21C and pH 6.0. At low temperature egg masses at < pH 3.5 turned milky-opaque within 2 h of exposure; at pH 4.5 embryos tightly coiled, those that hatched were deformed.

Hatching success of AMMA also varied among clutches, but in general, hatching success was lower at pH 4.3 than at pH 6.0. The concentration of 0.2 mg Al/L at pH 4.3 increased hatching success compared with when no Al was present. Less pH associated embryonic mortality observed among more tolerant AMMA; AMMA survival not different between pH 4.1 and > 6.0 as they were eaten by AMJE at pH > 6.0 and suffered pH induced mortality at pH 4.1 ; AMMA metamorphosed less often. Mortality correlated only with pH. In two low-pH ponds, high conc. of dissolved organic compounds might have been a toxic component.

Mortality reached 100 % at pH 3.0 and 3.5 within 24 h; embryos died at stages 8-11; overall hatching success was lower for embryos exposed to pH 4.0 treatments than for all other treatments > pH 4.0 regardless of exposure time. No eggs hatched at pH 4.2; 14.6 % developed but did not hatch; 93 % hatched at pH 7.5. There was significant variation among clutches, but in general, BUAM hatching success was reduced at pH 4.1 compared with pH 6.0. At pH 4.1, 0.2 mg Al/L caused even greater embryonic mortality. Al toxicity did not vary among clutches. With no Al added, pH had little effect on mortality of RASY embryos over the range of 4.2-4.8. However, at pH 6 (0 mg Al/L) control mortality (376%) was significantly higher than at the lower pH's. This occurred due to fungal growth. Results not extracted from paper.

Increasing Luther pond water from 5 to 20% significantly reduced Al toxicity such that the LC50 for total Al increased to above 2.0 mg/L. Labile Al conc. were not good predictors of mortality. Luther pond water was not toxic to tadpoles at pH 4. Percent mortality was significantly different among ponds. Mortality was correlated with pH but not with total or labile Al. Other ions were not correlated with mortality either. Significant difference in activity during experimental period at pH 4.0 (compared to control period); when tadpoles entered the acidified octants they would exhibit burst swimming similar to escape behaviour. A survey in Greater Yellowstone ecosystem found that water samples from sites where Western Toads successfully reproduced had higher pH values. No evidence that amphibian embryos are present during snow melt and episodic acidification; population decline not likely due to acidification. Low percentage of occupied sites, populations declining severely. Breeding habitats in the Rocky Mountains do not appear to be sufficiently acidic to kill embryos. 100 % mortality at pH 3.1; all metamorphosed at pH 4.0. 84.4 % of systems at pH 5.0 contained BUBU with only 11.8 % systems containing BUBU at pH 4.0. Population increased in acidified lakes.

Spawn more vulnerable than tadpoles to low pH; 100 % mortality below pH 4.0 critical range between 4.0 - 4.5; more than 24 h for mortality to occur at pH 3.5; healthy spawn is less vulnerable to acid damage than spawn containing large numbers of dead eggs. Results not extracted from paper. Hatch rates, larval growth rates and survival to metamorphosis were all substantially and progressively reduced at pHs below 6.0. 0% survival at pH<4.0. Reduced survivorship at pH 5-6 with aluminum. Survey of amphibian breeding sites. Avoided acid heathland ponds (< 5.0). No tadpoles survived to metamorphosis below pH 4.75 and success was minimal below pH 6.0. Increases of aluminum resulted in developmental abnormalities. Small tadpoles and eggs more vulnerable than later tadpoles to low pH; growth of tadpoles was inhibited by pH between 4.0 - 6.0. Pyruvate and lactate conc. were higher than apparent Km values of heart enzyme. At physiological conc. of substrate, pyruvate reductase activity was more affected by temperature increase when pH decreases.

Jung and Jagoe 1995 Mortality increased with increased Al concentration at pH 4.5 but not at 5.5. Tadpoles exposed to pH 4.5 and Al exhibited bent stubby tails, gut edema, and curved bodies. Tadpoles exposed to Al were smaller and Jung and Jagoe 1995 exhibited deformities and reduced swimming speeds. Dragonfly larvae consumed a similar amount of tadpoles biomass among treatments and thus more of the smaller Al exposed tadpoles. 50% hatching success observed at pH=3.35. Warner 1994 Density of HYGR was found to have the Warner et al. 1991 greatest effect on both species tested, pH and density of HYFE also had significant effects. Low pH caused decreased survival of HYGR, but increased that of HYFE. Higher density decreased survival, increased Warner et al. 1991 larval period and decreased size at metamorphosis; pH: lower survivorship at low pH than HYGR and decreased size at metamorphosis; in general less affected by pH variation than HYGR. Density of HYGR was found to have the Warner et al. 1991 greatest effect on both species tested, pH and density of HYFE also had significant effects. Low pH caused decreased survival of HYGR, but increased that of HYFE. Higher density increased larval period and Warner et al. 1991 decreased size; lower pH decreased survival rate and also decreased size at metamorphosis; lower pH increased susceptibility of tadpoles to adverse effects of higher densities.

No significant difference in tolerance of Padhye and Ghate 1988 tadpoles to altered pH as compared to that of the embryos, however hind-limb stage tadpoles appeared to be slightly resistant to acidic pH and more sensitive to alkaline pH. The mechanosensitivity was suppressed by Sand 1975 Mg, Co and La as well as low pH. Possibly due to competition with calcium.

Behaviour - Along with RASY, RACL were the least sensitive species and did not avoid pH 4.0. A significant correlation was found between the 96 h LC50 pH and the % reduction in use of the two acidified octants (pH 4.0). No differences were observed among treatments for RACL or RAUT tadpoles. Substantially increased transepithelial net ion loss and net acid uptake, and a slight inhibition of active ion transport. Disturbances disappeared by 7 h exposure in tadpoles but persisted in juveniles. Mortality estimated from graph, 10 % at pH 4.5 and 90 % at pH 4.1. Increased toxicity evident with increased temperature, or decreased pH and water hardness. 100 % mortality of embryos at pH 4.0 within 2 d, and 6% mortality at pH 5.0, 6.0. Embryo mortality not affected by Al alone but synergistic effect of Al and pH at 5.0, and 6.0 resulted in increased mortality. Low pH exerted a string harmful effect and high levels of Al almost completely precluded successful reproduction. Low pH exerted a strongly harmful effect and high levels of Al almost completely precluded successful reproduction. 76 % of water bodies at pH 5 and 4-5 contained RAES; 63.3 % of water bodies at pH 4.0. In acidic waters, egg masses became heavily infested with fungi. Most hatchlings at pH 4.0 were deformed; at pH 4.5 and 5.0 few deformities noted. pH medium: 6 % mortality at pH 4.0 and 4.5 ; no mortality at pH 5.0. In Al medium: 100 % mortality in all groups. Lower growth rate, longer larval period at pH 6.4.

Humic and fulvic acid increased mortality. Freda et al. 1990 Both humic and fulvic acid stained the egg jelly and membranes a dark brown color and caused these structures to become tough and rubbery.

In embryos and pre-stage 25 tadpoles, Al ameliorated the toxic effects of very low pHs (4.2-4.4), while becoming toxic at higher pH (4.6-4.8). Although both embryos and pre-stage 25 tadpoles were killed by low pH (4.2-4.4 and 4.2, respectively). No eggs hatched at pH 4.2; 98.5 % hatched at pH 7.5. Nontoxic (5% mortality) without Al. Al was toxic only at pH 4.8. Organic compounds (DOC 5.7 to 16.2 mg/L) complexed the Al and thus increased the LC50 for total Al by more than two-fold. 100% artificial soft water and the four dilutions of pond water were toxic to embryos. One of the most common species noted. Acute exposure depressed Na influx and accelerated Na efflux. Increased external Ca slowed loss of Ca. Initial body Na content was inversely correlated with acid tolerance. In embryos and pre-stage 25 tadpoles, Al ameliorated the toxic effects of very low pHs (4.2-4.4), while becoming toxic at higher pH (4.6-4.8). Although both embryos and pre-stage 25 tadpoles were killed by low pH (4.2-4.4 and 4.2, respectively). 96 h exposure to bog water (pH 4.2): there was 0% survival (controls had 97.5% survival). Linear increase in survival time and thus pH tolerance during first 8 wks of development. Tadpoles grew at rates of 5.9 - 36 mg/d. No significant difference in activity level after acidification was initiated. Tadpoles avoided pH 4.0 and 4.5 (along with BUAM they were the most sensitive species tested). Breeding habitats in the Rocky Mountains do not appear to be sufficiently acidic to kill embryos. Increase in influx and backflux of Ca and mannitol and in backflux of Na at pH 2.5 in short circuited skin. Total conductance and short-circuit current increased at pH 2.5.

Less pH-associated embryonic mortality observed among more tolerant RASY; more larval RASY survived pH 4.1 in lab when initially contained with AMJE than at pH > 6.0 due to reduced survival and subsequent predation by AMJE at pH 4.1. Low pH led to 45% decrease in hatching success; but did not affect hatch timing. Lower temperatures and low pH resulted in a decrease in frog length. Mortality correlated only with pH. In two low-pH ponds, high conc. of dissolved organic compounds might have been a toxic component. Generally, decreases in mortality occurred with pH below 5.0 (exceptions did occur). pH 4.8 and 37 g/L Al did not affect eggs of RASY ; pH 4.3 and 46 g/L were more toxic to RASY than 34 - 35 g/L Al. Differences in acid tolerance among populations of embryos was not related to levels of acidity in ponds. 100 % mortality within 2 h. No differences in development noted at any other treatment. Acid tolerance of larvae was not related to ovum size nor to capsule thickness. Acute exposure depressed Na influx and markedly accelerated Na efflux - resulting net loss of 50 % of body Na was fatal. Chronic exposure caused 21-62 % reduction in body Na level K content did not change. All survived for 24 h at pH 7.2 - 7.6; 37% survival at pH 3.5.

A significant correlation was found between the 96 h LC50 for pH and the % reduction in use of the two octants acidified to pH 4.0. As a result of increased mortality among Sadinski and Dunson 1989 AMJE over 7 d, 38% more RASY survived at pH 4.1 than at pH 5.4. Copper was extremely toxic to both species Horne and Dunson 1995 during both acute and chronic exposures. Acute exposure RASY survival was significantly greater in the low pH (88 vs 52%) and the high hardness treatments (90 vs 50%). Critical pH was 3.5-3.8 for tadpoles; survival Grant and Licht 1993 at pH 3.8 did not differ from that at pH 3.5 or 4.0 but it was significantly lower than at pH 4.0.

In the treatment combinations with no metals present, acute survival of RASY was significantly higher in the high water hardness (100%) than in the low water hardness treatment (87%). After 28 d of exposure there were no significant pH or hardness effects. Percent mortality was significantly different among ponds. Mortality was correlated with both total Al and pH. Total Al had a higher r than did labile Al. Other ions measured were not correlated with mortality. Some malformation was noted. Tadpoles from pond with pH 4.5 - 4.90 had lower body Na, Cl, and water conc. than those from nearby pond with pH 5.74 6.37. Tadpoles from either pond placed in low pH had higher Na efflux than when placed in high pH. The all-metals mixture treatment induced significantly higher mortality for both species during acute and chronic exposure. There were no effects of pH or water hardness on the acute survival of RASY. The presence of Al significantly reduced survival during both acute and chronic exposure. Toxicity of Al to RASY was significantly lower in low water hardness treatments (73 vs 52%). There were no significant negative effects of iron, lead and zinc on RASY or AMJE during acute or chronic exposure. Likewise, there were no significant effects of iron, lead or zinc on RASY or AMJE wet mass. There were no significant negative effects of iron, lead and zinc on RASY or AMJE during acute or chronic exposure.

There were no significant negative effects of iron, lead and zinc on RASY or AMJE during acute or chronic exposure. Likewise, there were no significant effects of iron, lead or zinc on RASY or AMJE wet mass. Total dissolved Al was higher in acidified enclosure compared to controls (pH >4.7). Survival was unaffected by pH. Mean wet masses were significantly lower at pH 4.2 than at pH > 4.7. Survival not associated with pH. Time to metamorphosis was longer for RASY at pH 4.2. No differences in wet masses at metamorphosis between the two pH levels. 68.8 % of water bodies at pH 5.0 contained RATE; 55 % of water at pH 4-5; and 17.7 % of water at pH 4.0. Population decreased in acidified lakes. Threshold = 0.01 and almost 100 % avoidance at 0.1 mol/L; efficiency of acidic stimulants is determined by quality of anions rather than pH value; difference in pH of two efficient solutions of different acids can be as big as 1.0. Threshold of skin sensitivity for the three acids was 0.01 mol/L; in behavioural and electrophysiological experiments. Stimulus efficiency appeared dependent on concentration in the range of 0.01 - 0.1 mol/L. 79% embryos died at pH 4.0, < 5% at pH 5.0, and 6.0. Embryo mortality not associated with Al alone but synergistic effects of Al and pH at 5.0, and 6.0 resulted in increased mortality. In acidic waters, egg masses became heavily infested with fungi. Most hatchlings at pH 4.0 were deformed; at pH 4.5 or 5.0 few deformities noted. Low pH exerted a strong harmful effect and high levels of Al almost completely precluded successful reproduction.

A few of the eggs in the 31 ponds died before Beattie and Tyler-Jones first cleavage, particularly in circumneutral 1992 ponds, but most eggs died at mid-late cleavage/early gastrula (stages 7-12). Various types of abnormal embryos were observed. All but one of the embryos exposed to pH Cummins 1988 3.5 and 3.75 died within 24 h. There was some mortality between 6 h and 12 h at pH 3.5 but no discernible effect of calcium concentration within that period. At the lowest pH, all embryos but one died Cummins 1988 within 45 h. At pH 3.75 mortality increased with duration of exposure and with decreasing calcium concentration. Embryonic survival decreased with increasing Beattie and Tyler-Jones inorganic monomeric Al at pH 4.5. High 1992 conc. of Al also increased embryo mortality. Body length of surviving larvae was decreased by both increasing Al conc. and low pH. Embryonic survival decreased with increasing Beattie and Tyler-Jones inorganic monomeric Al concentration at 1992 pH 4.5. High conc. of inorganic monomeric Al also increased the number of embryos which died in the early stages of development. Embryonic survival was lower at lower Beattie et al. 1992 aluminum conc. Gastrulation and hatching appeared to be the most sensitive stages to both pH and Al concentration. Fertilization success was 87 % in acidic water Beattie et al. 1993 and increased to 100 % following liming. It was estimated that at least 2.1 % of eggs deposited in a limed pond gave rise to metamorphs. Inorganic monomeric Al conc. was the Beattie et al. 1991 principal factor reducing fertilization success. Exposure to a high zinc concentration, early in development, subsequently increased the number of abnormal species. k No embryos survived to become adults. Hagstrom 1977

pH in the absence of Al had no effect on Tyler-Jones et al. 1989 survival to tadpoles stage. Increasing Al conc. reduced the survival of lowland embryos in circumneutral water, but did not effect upland embryos. pH rose then remained close to initial levels. Cummins 1988 There was no significant relation between calcium conc. and the amount pH increased. When limestone was added to ponds 1 and 2, Beattie and Tyler-Jones fertilization success increased from approx 1992 87% to 100%. The mean percentage survival of embryos increased significantly from 22% to 93% and from 0% to 69.3%, respectively. Elevated Al conc. increased the rate of Olsson et al. 1987 morphological defects in larvae. Spinal curvatures and vesicles on head and thorax were observed. Vesicles ruptured and caused ulceration at later stages. No altered hatching frequency could be found Olsson et al. 1987 for any stage of development due to a 24 h reduction of pH to 4.0. All samples from a certain egg mass showed similar hatching success independent of the stage at which they were acid shocked. Significantly lower hatching frequency for Olsson et al. 1987 embryos incubated on sphagnum (35.2% survival) in comparison to controls (67.6% survival). A rise in pH occurred in control aquaria (from 4.5 to 4.97); this did not happen in the sphagnum treated aquaria. Embryonic survival in the two acidic ponds Beattie et al. 1993 increased from 0 % and 22 % to 69% and 93 % respectively following liming. A year after liming, embryonic survival in one pond had decreased significantly from 93 % to 79 %. Low pH exerted a strong harmful effect and Andren and Nilson 1988 high levels of Al almost completely precluded successful reproduction. k Survey of amphibian breeding sites. Beebee 1983

Low pH resulted in deformities and malformations. This study shows that individuals responded differently to variations in pH than groups (ie. density dependent effects). Maximum size attained was positively correlated with pH; time to foreleg emergence was negatively correlated with pH. No tadpoles found in pH > 5.0.

Embryos raised in acidified artificial soft water hatched at a smaller size, an earlier stage (38 vs. 39) of development and on average 1-2 d before those raised under neutral conditions. Survival to hatching was reduced under low pH in both species. At 4 wks of growth all larvae had reached stages 52-54. Larvae grew to a larger size under neutral artificial soft water than under acid conditions. TRHE were smaller than TRVU (no significant difference). 95% TRHE survived under neutral and acid conditions. TRHE and TRVU both showed a decline in the response to prey after transfer to pH 4.5. For TRHE this was only significant at 22 h after transfer back to the same conditions. Larvae were more sluggish at the lower pH and tended to orient towards food. Survey of amphibian breeding sites.

1233 individuals of 10 species of urodeles, 139 individuals of 6 species of anurans. Overall density across all forest types was 0.41/m (urodeles, 0.37/m ; anurans, 0.04/m ). The pH levels encountered were generally not toxic to the resident amphibians. A direct relationship of amphibian species richness with pond size was found. Only larger ponds were long-lived enough for metamorphosis of amphibian larvae. There was very limited evidence that anthropogenic episodic acidification occurred in high-elevation habitats in the Rocky Mountains. Results not extracted from paper.

Exposure Route DERMAL ENVIRON Exposure Route Term Dermal exposure Environmental exposure Exposure Route Description Exposure of contaminant(s) to animals by direct dermal application under laboratory conditions. See paper for specific details pertaining to this study. Exposure of contaminant(s) in external field surroundings as a source of toxicity to animals. Numerous contaminants may be involved and the source or concentration(s) may not be known. Direct exposure routes may include dermal, inhalation, and ingestion. This classification includes studies of environmental spills. In standard FETAX methodology, a range-finding and three replicate tests are performed on each test material. A control in which no test material has been added is used to provide 1) a measure of the acceptability of the test by indicating the quality of embryos and the suitability of the FETAX solution, test conditions and handling procedures, and 2) a basis for interpreting data from other treatments. Each test consists of several different concentrations of test material with two replicate dishes of each concentration. Each of the three tests is conducted using embryos from a different male/female pair of Xenopus laevis. A reference toxicant (6-aminonicotinamide) should be used as a quality control measure. The 96 h LC50 and 96 h EC50 (malformation) are determined by probit analysis and the TI (teratogenic index) is calculated by dividing the LC50 by the EC50. Growth inhibition is determined by measuring the head-tail length of each embryo and determining whether growth at a particular concentration is significantly different from that of the control. Other useful data can be collected (eg. pigmentation, locomotion and hatchability) to expand the utility of the test. Exposure of contaminant(s) to animals in an aqueous solution in which they are submerged. This methodology is often the most common form of determining LC values under laboratory conditions. Exposure of contaminant(s) to animals is in gaseous form under laboratory conditions. Some dermal uptake may also occur under this conditions, however primary source of uptake is reported to be inhalation. Exposure of contaminant(s) to animals in aqueous form through injection (i.e. subdermal, intraperitoneal) under laboratory conditions. Exposure of contaminant(s) to animals often in liquid form by gavage under laboratory conditions. Exposure of contaminant(s) to animals often in aqueous form sprayed in surrounding field environment. Exposure of altered acidity of substrate or surrounding water to animals under laboratory or field conditions (i.e. pH = 3.0). Exposure of a combination of altered acidity of substrate or surrounding water and contaminant(s) to animals under laboratory or field conditions (eg. low pH and aluminum). Exposure of ultraviolet radiation to animals under laboratory or field conditions. A common laboratory study might include exposure to UV and UV-B during various larval developmental stages. Exposure of contaminant(s) to animals, often in crystalline form, by surgically placing it under the skin. Exposure of contaminant(s) to animal tissues following dissection. Common studies within this category include ion transport, neurological effects or hematological status investigations.

GENOTOX
Behavioural observations Contaminant exposure was associated with altered behaviour (i.e. avoidance, lethargy, paralysis). Developmental Contaminant exposure was associated with alterations to various observations developmental processes or disruptions (i.e. growth, teratogenesis, delayed metamorphosis, polydactyly, limb regeneration). Endpoint may also refer to endocrine disrupting effects. DNA damage/ Contaminant exposure was associated with DNA damage which may genotoxicity include increased frequencies of gamete loss due to cell death, embryo mortality (lethal mutations), cancer, heritable mutations and abnormal development. Hatching success Contaminant exposure was associated with alterations in hatching success, hatching rate etc. of eggs/embryos. Mortality observations Contaminant exposure was associated with death of animals. Pathological observations Contaminant exposure was associated with various infections in animals (i.e. tumors, viruses, parasites, fungal growth). Physiological Contaminant exposure was associated with alterations in animal observations physiology (i.e. temperature tolerance, hematological status, ion balance, hormone level response). Population surveys Field populations were surveyed (i.e. presence/absence, species richness and density) following exposure to contaminant(s). Reproductive Contaminant exposure was associated with altered reproductive activities observations (i.e. adult fertility, etc.). Tissue residues Contaminant(s) exposure resulted in residues of the contaminant(s) appearing in tissues under laboratory or field conditions.

TI is a measure of developmental hazard mostly associated with the FETAX asssay. TI values greater than 1.5 signify larger separation of the mortality and malformation concentration ranges and greater potential for all embryos to be malformed in the absence of significant embryo mortality. TI is calculated by dividing 96 hr LC50 by 96 hr EC50. (American Society for Testing and Materials 1991)
