The Amphibian Extinction Crisis - what will it take to put the action into the Amphibian Conservation Action Plan? (2012, background): “In addition, predator-induced stress has been demonstrated to turn otherwise nonlethal levels of pesticide exposure into lethality for some species of amphibian larvae (Relyea & Mills, 2001; Relyea, 2003; 2004).”
Global emergence of Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis and amphibian chytridiomycosis in space, time, and host. (2009, background): “Here, tadpoles that die because of exposure to pesticides do so at a greater rate when they are also exposed to the chemical signal of a predator (95).”
A documented amphibian decline over 40 years: Possible causes and implications for species recovery (2007, background): “This is because the importance of successful reproduction for the persistence at a site of an amphibian population increases with degree of spatial isolation (Richter et al., 2003).”
Anticoagulant Exposure and Notoedric Mange in Bobcats and Mountain Lions in Urban Southern California (2007, background): “…and artificial pond experiments on aquatic amphibians have revealed that anthropogenic stressors can interact with natural ones to have a much greater influence on survival, growth, and population persistence than either factor in isolation (Kiesecker et al. 2001, Kiesecker 2002, Relyea 2003).”
The role of animal behaviour in the study of endocrine-disrupting chemicals (2004, unknown): “For example, closely related species of frogs differ in the effects of EDCs on predator-induced stress (Relyea 2003).”
EFFECTS OF AN HERBICIDE AND AN INSECTICIDE ON POND COMMUNITY STRUCTURE AND PROCESSES (2005, background): “…predators has been shown to increase the lethality of the insecticide carbaryl for several tadpole species (including R. sylvatica; Relyea and Mills 2001, Relyea 2003), we found no evidence of this extreme pesticide-heterospecific synergism for the selected concentration of atrazine or endosulfan.”
THE LETHAL IMPACT OF ROUNDUP ON AQUATIC AND TERRESTRIAL AMPHIBIANS (2005, background): “In environments containing additional stressors (e.g., predation or competition), some pesticides can become even more lethal (Relyea and Mills 2001, Boone and Semlitsch 2002, Relyea 2003, 2004, 2005b).”
THE IMPACT OF INSECTICIDES AND HERBICIDES ON THE BIODIVERSITY AND PRODUCTIVITY OF AQUATIC COMMUNITIES (2006, background): “The LC50 for carbaryl ranges from 1 to 18 mg/L (Marchal-Segault 1976, Marian et al. 1983, Bridges 1997, Zaga et al. 1998, Relyea and Mills 2001, Relyea 2003b) for all amphibians and from 1.2 to 3.4 mg/L for the populations of wood frogs, leopard frogs, toads, and gray tree frogs used in the current…”
Pesticide Mixtures, Endocrine Disruption, and Amphibian Declines: Are We Underestimating the Impact? (2006, background): “…may also themselves be gape-limited predators (e.g., snakes; Figure 12B) (De Vito et al. 1999; Kiesecker and Blaustein 1998; Lardner 1998; Lawler et al. 1999; Nicieza 2000; O’Dwyer et al. 2000; Puttlitz et al. 1999; Relyea 2001a, 2001b, 2003; Skelly 1994; Werner 1986; Wilbur and Collins 1973).”
PESTICIDES AND AMPHIBIANS: THE IMPORTANCE OF COMMUNITY CONTEXT (2005, background): “The stress of these chemical cues can also cause synergistic interactions with pesticides (Relyea and Mills 2001, Relyea 2003, 2004) However, because the predators were free ranging and not caged, one cannot determine how much of the predator-associated death arose from direct predation vs.…”
