Anuran responses to spatial patterns of agricultural landscapes in Argentina
(2016-12)Context: Amphibians are declining worldwide and land use change to agriculture is recognized as a leading cause. Argentina is undergoing an agriculturalization process with rapid changes in landscape structure. Objectives: ... -
Biomarker and hematological fieldwork with amphibians: is it necessary to sample all night?
(Springer, 2020-03)In the context of the global amphibian crisis, biomonitoring constitutes a valuable assessment tool to provide critical up to date information on the status and health of amphibians worldwide. The aim of the current study ... -
Combined effects of agrochemical contamination and forest loss on anuran diversity in agroecosystems of east-central Argentina
(Elsevier, 2020-11)Agricultural expansion and intensification has led globally to a rapid landscape structure change and high agrochemical use resulting in habitat loss and degraded environmental quality. Co-occurrence of landscape change ... -
Comprehensive assessment of water quality through different approaches: Physicochemical and ecotoxicological parameters
(Elsevier, 2021-08-03)Traditionally, water quality was assessed by physicochemical parameters. However, a more comprehensive analysis is needed to study the effects of polluted water bodies on key species over time. So, the aim of this study ... -
Concentration of current-use pesticides in frogs from the Pampa region and correlation of a mixture toxicity index with biological effects
(Elsevier, 2021-11)Contamination with current-use pesticides is frequently mentioned as a key factor in global amphibian declines although a limited number of studies have examined the mixture of pesticides accumulated by free-living frogs. ... -
Ecotoxicological assessment of complex environmental matrices from the lower Paraná River basin
(Elsevier, 2022-10)Sediments of aquatic ecosystems constitute the fate of most atmospheric and terrestrial pollutants. Since aquatic organisms, such as amphibians, interact with sediments, the presence of pollutants may affect their survival, ... -
Integrated analysis of the quality of water bodies from the lower Paraná River basin with different productive uses by physicochemical and biological indicators
(Elsevier, 2020-03-20)The Paraná River basin is one of the most important in South America and is affected by human activities that take place on its margins. In particular, the De la Cruz stream flows through an industrial pole and the Arrecifes ... -
Metals, pesticides, and emerging contaminants on water bodies from agricultural areas and the effects on a native amphibian
(Elsevier, 2023-06)In the Paraná River lower basin, an important agro-productive area of Argentina, crop fields and cattle breeding activities are common and may affect water quality. So, the aim of this study was to analyze the impacts of ...
