Terrestrial pesticide exposure of amphibians: An underestimated cause of global decline?

TL;DR: The demonstrated toxicity is alarming and a large-scale negative effect of terrestrial pesticide exposure on amphibian populations seems likely, calling for more attention in conservation efforts.
Journal ArticleDOI

Glyphosate in German adults – Time trend (2001 to 2015) of human exposure to a widely used herbicide

TL;DR: The possible reduction in exposure since 2013 indicated by ESB data may be due to changes in glyphosate application in agricultural practice and contributing to the ongoing debate on the further regulation of glyphosate-based pesticides.
Journal ArticleDOI

Amphibians at risk? Susceptibility of terrestrial amphibian life stages to pesticides.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that cutaneous absorption of chemicals is significant and that chemical percutaneous passage, P (cm/h), is higher in amphibians than in mammals, and the reported data indicate the need for further research, especially in light of the global amphibian decline.
