Comparative toxicity of chlorpyrifos, diazinon, malathion and their oxon derivatives to larval Rana boylii.
Organophosphorus pesticides (OPs) are ubiquitous in the environment and are highly toxic to amphibians. They deactivate cholinesterase, resulting in neurological dysfunction. Most chemicals in this group require oxidative desulfuration to achieve their greatest cholinesterase-inhibiting potencies. Oxon derivatives are formed within liver cells but also by bacterial decay of parental pesticides....
متن کاملEffects of chytrid and carbaryl exposure on survival, growth and skin peptide defenses in foothill yellow-legged frogs.
Environmental contaminants and disease may synergistically contribute to amphibian population declines. Sub-lethal levels of contaminants can suppress amphibian immune defenses and, thereby, may facilitate disease outbreaks. We conducted laboratory experiments on newly metamorphosed foothill yellow-legged frogs (Rana boylii) to determine whether sublethal exposure to the pesticide carbaryl woul...
متن کاملIsolation of peptides of the brevinin-1 family with potent candidacidal activity from the skin secretions of the frog Rana boylii.
The emergence of strains of the human pathogen Candida albicans with resistance to commonly used antibiotics has necessitated a search for new types of antifungal agents. Six peptides with antimicrobial activity were isolated from norepinephrine-stimulated skin secretions from the foothill yellow-legged frog Rana boylii. Brevinin-1BYa (FLPILASLAA10KFGPKLF CLV20TKKC) was particularly potent agai...

Disclaimer This Conservation Assessment was prepared to compile the published and unpublished information on the foothill yellow-legged frog (Rana boylii). Although the best scientific information available was used and subject experts were consulted in preparation of this document, it is expected that new information will arise and be included. If you have information that will assist in conse...
متن کاملEffects of flow regimes altered by dams on survival, population declines, and range-wide losses of California river-breeding frogs.
Widespread alteration of natural hydrologic patterns by large dams combined with peak demands for power and water delivery during summer months have resulted in frequent aseasonal flow pulses in rivers of western North America. Native species in these ecosystems have evolved with predictable annual flood-drought cycles; thus, their likelihood of persistence may decrease in response to disruptio...
