“…We observed the lowest levels of this molecule which may be minimizing an oxidative stress situation. Uric acid synthesis in ammoniotelic organisms for use as an antioxidant has been reported for insects (Hermes-Lima and Zenteno-Savín 2002) and for tadpoles ( de Lima Coltro et al 2017). This is the first evidence of uric acid usage as an antioxidant molecule in crayfish.…”

Procambarus clarkii is a freshwater crayfish native to the southern central United States and northern Mexico. In Brazil, it is only present in natural environment in the state of São Paulo. Nutritional and reproductive markers were quantified and characterized, as well as intermediate metabolism and oxidative balance in females of P. clarkii collected in a natural environment over a seasonal cycle. Samples of hemolymph and different tissue were obtained. The degree of gastric repletion presented the highest rates in the spring. An investment in reproduction was detected in the summer, when the energy reserves of the hepatopancreas were mobilized for gonadal maturation, and a higher percentage of mature gonads were observed. In the same period, we observed an increase in lipoperoxidation, despite the increased activity of superoxide dismutase and glutathione S-transferase in muscle and gonads. An increase in the levels of lipoperoxidation and glutathione S-transferase was observed in winter.

“…The observed decreases in corticosterone may reflect a disruption in the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis response, and an inability to respond to an acute stressor (Cyr and Romero 2009). Decreased corticosterone levels were observed in American bullfrog (R. catesbeiana) tadpoles exposed to 0.4 µg/L of the herbicide Facet ® (active ingredient quinclorac) for 1 wk, indicating a possible decreased ability to respond to environmental stressors (de Lima Coltro et al 2017). Gabor et al (2018) found that Cuban tree frogs (Osteopilus septentrionalis) treated with metyrapone, a corticosterone inhibitor, had reduced tolerance to a fungal pathogen (B. dendrobatidis), but only before metamorphosis.…”

Neonicotinoids are widely used insecticides that are detectable in agricultural waterways. These insecticides are of concern due to their potential impacts on nontarget organisms. Pesticides can affect development of amphibians and suppress the immune system, which could impact disease susceptibility and tolerance. No previous studies on amphibians have examined the effects of these insecticides on differential blood cell proportions or concentrations of corticosterone (a general stress hormone). We investigated the effects of chronic exposure to 2 neonicotinoids, thiamethoxam and clothianidin, on immunometrics of wood frogs (Lithobates sylvaticus). Frogs were exposed to single, chronic treatments of 2.5 or 250 µg/L of clothianidin or thiamethoxam for 7 wk from Gosner stages 25 to 46. The juvenile frogs were then maintained for 3 wk post metamorphosis without exposure to neonicotinoids. We measured water‐borne corticosterone twice: at 6 d and 8 wk after exposure in larval and juvenile frogs, respectively. We assessed differential blood cell profiles from juvenile frogs. Corticosterone was significantly lower in tadpoles exposed to 250 µg/L of thiamethoxam compared with other tadpole treatments, but no significant differences in corticosterone concentrations were found in treatments using juvenile frogs. Anemia was detected in all treatments compared with controls with the exception of tadpoles exposed to 2.5 µg/L of clothianidin. Neutrophil‐to‐leukocyte and neutrophil‐to‐lymphocyte ratios were elevated in frogs exposed to 250 µg/L of thiamethoxam. Collectively, these results indicate that chronic exposure to neonicotinoids has varied impacts on blood cell profiles and corticosterone concentrations of developing wood frogs, which are indicative of stress. Future studies should investigate whether exposure to neonicotinoids increases susceptibility to infection by parasites in both larval and adult wood frogs.

Among human actions threatening biodiversity, the release of anthropogenic chemical pollutants -which have become ubiquitous in the environment- is a major concern. Chemical pollution can induce oxidative stress and damage by causing the overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS), and affecting the antioxidant system. In species undergoing metamorphosis (~80% of all extant animal species), antioxidant responses to chemical pollution may differ between pre- and post-metamorphic stages. Here, we meta-analysed (N = 86 studies, k = 2,012 estimates) the impact of chemical pollution on the redox balance across the three major amphibian life stages (embryo, larva, adult). Before metamorphosis, embryos and larvae activate their antioxidant pathways and do not show increased oxidative damage. In contrast, post-metamorphic individuals show unnoticeable antioxidant responses, and a marked oxidative damage in lipids. Also, type of pollutant (i.e., organic vs inorganic) promotes contrasting effects across amphibian life stages. Our findings show a divergent evolution of the redox balance in response to pollutants across life transitions of metamorphosing amphibians, likely linked to the characteristics of each life stage. Further comparative mechanistic approaches to wildlife responses to global changes will improve our understanding of these eco-evo-devo processes.
