“…There is a general concern regarding the potential for deleterious effects of agrochemicals on amphibian populations [1]. Insecticides are used at much lower quantities than fertilizers and herbicides [2], but many more insecticides than herbicides have been the subject of extensive research in amphibian ecotoxicology [3]. As an example of the relative use of different classes of pesticides, statistics on agrochemical use on cotton in West Texas for 2007 indicated that 226 million kg of fertilizers were applied, 4.98 million kg of herbicides were applied, and just less than 2.04 million kg of insecticides were applied [4].…”

“…A diverse array of physiological functions may have potential as a prognostic indicator of altered organismal performance, including those related to the nervous, endocrine, and reproductive system, regulatory enzymes, genetic material, immune response, and stress biology (see previous sections). Such mechanistic approaches apply to amphibians, a taxon for which toxicological studies are still underrepresented, especially with respect to tropical species (Schiesari et al 2007, Lehman and Williams 2010, Ghose et al 2014.…”

“…Los efectos de plaguicidas particularmente sobre anfibios a través de bioensayos de toxicidad, han sido ampliamente estudiados y fueron resumidos en distintos trabajos de revisión [32,33]. Los anfibios fueron utilizados como organismos test en investigaciones de toxicología en una amplia batería de estudios llevados a cabo principalmente para identificar y caracterizar el peligro potencial y los mecanismos de acción que entrañan los plaguicidas [34 -37].…”

“…Asimismo, una perspectiva ecotoxicológica fue abordada y motivada porque el uso de plaguicidas asociados a prácticas agrícolas se propuso como uno de los mayores causantes del fenómeno de declinación mundial de anfibios [38]. Este trabajo incluyó numerosos bioensayos de toxicidad que evaluaron concentraciones letales medias (CL 50 ) y efectos subletales sobre el desarrollo, el crecimiento y la reproducción de anfibios [33,39].…”
