Abstract
Abstract
Amphibians contain some of the most
endangered species and their population is declining worldwide. Amphibian
population decline is related with habitat degradation, climate change,
diseases, pesticide use, introduced species and pollution. Pollutants can
affect amphibian habitats and population gene pool. The goal of this paper is
to summarize some of the studies that have been done on the genotoxicology and
ecotoxicology of amphibians.
