| USGA Summary Points: | Our experiments focus on the effects of chronic exposure to 2,4-D on southern leopard frog (Rana sphenocephala). We reared tadpoles individually at four concentrations (285 ppb, 2.85 ppm, 28.5 ppm, 285 ppm) and a control (no 2,4-D). This common herbicide is lethal only after prolonged exposure at relatively high concentrations (e.g., 0% survival to day 70 at 285 ppm, 50% survival to day 70 at 2.85 ppm; no difference from control at 285 ppb). Growth rate was not affected by pesticide exposure except at the highest concentration. Time to metamorphosis was not affected by pesticide exposure, although the proportion reaching metamorphic climax did decrease with increasing levels of exposure. Current studies are centered on investigating effects of acute exposure at sublethal doses on locomotor and feeding behavior. |
