Acute toxicity of copper to the larval stage of three species of ambystomatid salamanders

Journal Article Weir, Scott M. ; Yu, Shuangying ; Scott, David E. ; ... - Ecotoxicology

Copper (Cu) appears to be consistently more toxic to anuran species relative to other vertebrate taxa. There are limited Cu toxicity data for salamanders; of the few studies conducted on salamanders, most examined Cu effects on the embryonic, but not the larval, stage. We performed acute toxicity experiments, to quantify LC50s, on Harrison stage 46 larvae (free swimming hatchlings with egg yolk completely absorbed) of three ambystomatid salamander species. Each LC50 experiment used exposure concentrations of 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, and 60 µg/L with 10 replicates per concentration each containing one larva. We found very high toxicity for allmore »« less

Scavenging along an ecological interface: utilization of amphibian and reptile carcasses around isolated wetlands

Journal Article Abernethy, Erin F. ; Turner, Kelsey L. ; Beasley, James C. ; ... - Ecosphere

Abstract Scavenging is an influential ecosystem process, providing many weak, but stabilizing food web links. Amphibians and reptiles (i.e., herpetofauna) utilize land/water interfaces and can have large biomasses concentrated here, making them important vectors of nutrients between aquatic and terrestrial systems and a valuable resource to scavengers. There are limited data on the fate of herpetofauna carrion, and thus, it is unknown how such carcasses are incorporated into food webs or how habitat and carcass characteristics influence which scavengers acquire these resources. We used camera traps to determine the proportion of experimental amphibian and reptile carcasses (lizards, salamanders, frogs, andmore »« less

Integrating copper toxicity and climate change to understand extinction risk to two species of pond‐breeding anurans

Journal Article Weir, Scott M. ; Scott, David E. ; Salice, Christopher J. ; ... - Ecological Applications

Abstract Chemical contamination is often suggested as an important contributing factor to amphibian population declines, but direct links are rarely reported. Population modeling provides a quantitative method to integrate toxicity data with demographic data to understand the long‐term effects of contaminants on population persistence. In this study we use laboratory‐derived embryo and larval toxicity data for two anuran species to investigate the potential for toxicity to contribute to population declines. We use the southern toad ( Anaxyrus terrestris ) and the southern leopard frog ( Lithobates sphenocephalus ) as model species to investigate copper (Cu) toxicity. We use matrix modelsmore »« less

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

Journal Article Flynn, R. Wesley ; Love, Cara N. ; 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
