Title: RADIATION AND OTHER FACTORS INFLUENCING THE DISTRIBUTION OF ANIMALS. Progress Report and Renewal Proposal

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4817990

Progress is reported for studies of environmental and radiation effects on three species of toads, Bufo americanus, B. cognatus and B. hemiophrys. Controlled surival tests in which tadpoles of B. americanus and B. hemiophrys were subjected to physical and chemical extremes indicated that B. hemiophrys is more resistant than B. americanus. The status of the subprojects on factors influencing toad survival during hibernatlon and irradistion of dormant toads is outlined. A soil simulator was built for studying the burrowing behavior of toads. (D.L.C.)
