This study examines the effects of pyrethroid insecticides on sex ratios in agile frogs, finding male-biased phenotypic sex ratios due to female-biased mortality, not sex reversal.

The paper shows that infected tadpoles lower their body temperature more than uninfected ones, suggesting behavioral anapyrexia as a response to virus infection.

The paper shows that juvenile agile frogs avoid infected conspecifics but do not isolate themselves, suggesting spatial avoidance may reduce disease transmission while lack of self-isolation may not be pathogen-driven.

This study examines the combined effects of pyrethroid insecticides and winter conditions on juvenile common toads, finding that mild winters reduce mortality and that insecticide exposure does not significantly affect survival or morphology.
