Histological Assessment of ultraviolet B radiation effects on boreal toads, other amphibians, and selected fish species
Entry ID:
LSC_ultravioletBtoads
Summary
Abstract:
Populations of many amphibian species, in a variety of habitats, are in severe
decline, while others show no apparent declines. Ultraviolet-B radiation (UVB) has been suggested as a contributing factor. Amphibians at high altitudes (above 1500 m) are exposed to higher levels of UVB than at lower altitudes. In fact, UVB radiation is 32 - 42% greater at 3350 m than at 1500 m (Caldwell et al. 1980). ...  Geographic Coverage
