Abstract

Dieldrin is a cylclodiene insecticide highly persistent in nature due to its chemical stability. The exposure of toad embryos to Dieldrin induces hyperactivity in the swimming larvae and inhibition of cholinesterases. However, the inhibition of these enzymes during early development is not life threatening. The present report provides a physiological and biochemical study of the noxious effect of Dieldrin on the toad embryonic development.

Lethal and sublethal measures of chronic copper toxicity in the eastern narrowmouth toad, Gastrophryne carolinensis

Journal Article Flynn, R.; Scott, David; Kuhne, Wendy; ... - Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry

Abstract Many metals are acutely toxic to aquatic organisms at high concentrations and for some metals, such as copper (Cu), even low‐level chronic contamination may be cause for conservation concern. Amphibian susceptibility to Cu has been examined in only a few species, and susceptibility is highly variable. The lethal and sublethal effects were examined of chronic aqueous Cu exposure on embryonic and larval eastern narrowmouth toads, Gastrophryne carolinensis . Copper levels as low as 10 μg Cu/L reduced embryonic and larval survival. Embryonic survivorship varied within‐ and between‐source populations, with embryos derived from uncontaminated‐wetland parents having greater survival at lower Cumore »« less

Multi-level effects of low dose rate ionizing radiation on southern toad, Anaxyrus [Bufo] terrestris

Journal Article Stark, Karolina; Scott, David; Tsyusko, Olga; ... - PLoS ONE

Despite their potential vulnerability to contaminants from exposure at multiple life stages, amphibians are one of the least studied groups of vertebrates in ecotoxicology, and research on radiation effects in amphibians is scarce. We used multiple endpoints to assess the radiosensitivity of the southern toad (Anaxyrus [Bufo] terrestris) during its pre-terrestrial stages of development –embryonic, larval, and metamorphic. Toads were exposed, from several hours after oviposition through metamorphosis (up to 77 days later), to four low dose rates of ¹³⁷Cs at 0.13, 2.4, 21, and 222 mGy d⁻¹, resulting in total doses up to 15.8 Gy. Radiation treatments did notmore »« less

Variation in metal tolerance associated with population exposure history in Southern toads (Anaxyrus terrestris)

Journal Article Flynn, R.; Love, Cara; Coleman, Austin; ... - Aquatic Toxicology

Human activities have radically shaped the global landscape, affecting the structure and function of ecosystems. Habitat loss is one of the most visible changes to the landscape and a primary driver of species declines; however, anthropogenic environmental contamination also threatens population persistence, but is not as readily observed. Aquatic organisms are especially susceptible to chemical perturbations, which can negatively impact survival and fitness related traits. Some populations have evolved tolerance to chemical stressors, which could mitigate the consequences associated with contamination. Amphibians are experiencing global declines due to multiple stressors and are particularly at risk to aquatic chemical stressors duemore »« less

Physiological and biochemical studies of newly synthesized muscarinic acetylcholine receptors in embryonic chicken heart

Thesis/Dissertation Hunter, D

Exposure of either chicken embryos in ovo or cultured embryonic chicken cardiac cells in vitro to the muscarinic agonist carbachol results in a 70-90% decrease in the number of muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChR) expressed in cardiac cells. Block of agonist-receptor interactions in ovo with the antagonist atropine or removal of the agonist in vitro results in a gradual increase in mAChR number, reaching the control level in 14 hr. Measurements of physiological sensitivity of atria or cultured cells show that, even after the complete recovery of receptor number, the sensitivity to agonist is reduced. The sensitivity of the mAChR-mediated inhibitionmore »« less
Physiological and biochemical responses of two keystone polychaete species: Diopatra neapolitana and Hediste diversicolor to Multi-walled carbon nanotubes

Journal Article De Marchi, Lucia; Neto, Victor; Pretti, Carlo; ... - Environmental Research

Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) are one of the most important carbon Nanomaterials (NMs). The production and use of these carbon NMs is increasing rapidly and, therefore, the need to assess their presence in the environment and associated risks has become increasingly important. However, limited literature is available regarding the impacts induced in aquatic organisms by this pollutant, namely in invertebrate species. Diopatra neapolitana and Hediste diversicolor are keystone polychaete species inhabiting estuaries and shallow water bodies intertidal mudflats, frequently used to evaluate the impact of environmental disturbances in these systems. To our knowledge, no information is available on physiological andmore »« less
