Does chronic exposure to ammonium during the pre-metamorphic stages promote hindlimb abnormality in anuran metamorphs? A comparison between natural-habitat and agrosystem frogs
Despite their detrimental effects on locomotion, prevalence of hindlimb abnormalities is increasing in anuran populations worldwide. Among others, agrochemical pollution during the larval stage is a potential cause. However, populations exposed to such a strong selective pressure could evolve resist...
