Impact/Purpose:

To explore the relationship between distributions of amphibians and ultraviolet radiation

Description:

Ultraviolet radiation (UVR) has been suggested as a potential cause of population declines and increases in malformations in amphibians. This study indicates that the present distributions of amphibians in four western U.S. National Parks are not related to UVR exposure, and suggests that these amphibians have not been recently impacted by UVR-related deleterious effects.
