USGA Summary Points: | Pond communities were exposed to presence of invasive species (0 invasives, 4 overwintered bullfrog tadpoles, 2 fish, or both invasives), insecticide exposure (0 or 2.5 mg/L carbaryl), or fertilizer exposure (0 or 10 mg/L nitrate). All treatments singly and interactively affected the amphibians and their food resources. Amphibians had greater survivial, larger masses, and faster time to metamorphosis in control ponds than in golf course ponds. Single stressors often had apparent positive effects on amphibians (with the exception of fish presence which had a strong negative effect on all amphibians), but two or more stresses negatively affected the community. |
