Amphibian species worldwide are currently experiencing population declines and decreased ranges. This decrease in amphibian populations is due in part to habitat degradation such as canopy cover loss and decreased water quality. Other amphibian species, however, such as Bufo marinus, are experiencing population growth and global expansion. In this study, I tested the effects of loss of canopy cover and degraded water quality on growth and survival of B. marinus tadpoles by exposing them to conditions of elevated levels of ultraviolet radiation, degraded water quality, and a combination of these two factors. I found that B. marinus tadpoles have high survivorship and low rates of mortality when exposed to ultraviolet radiation and degraded ...
