Do Now -
In the early 1990’s Students and Scientists in Minnesota and elsewhere had found malformed frogs.
Then the issue hit the national media in 1995.
Why would this be important to humans ?

MN Frogs and Toads

Habitats for frogs and toads
rivers and streams
lakes, ponds, marshes
grasslands
forests
![Page 10: Do Now - In the early 1990’s Students and Scientists in Minnesota and elsewhere had found malformed frogs. Then the issue hit the national media in 1995.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070415/5697bfcf1a28abf838caa17d/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Why We Care
1. Frogs and toads are a part of the planet’s bio-diversity.
2. Frogs and toads interact in interesting ways with each other and the environment, i.e. both prey and predators
![Page 11: Do Now - In the early 1990’s Students and Scientists in Minnesota and elsewhere had found malformed frogs. Then the issue hit the national media in 1995.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070415/5697bfcf1a28abf838caa17d/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
3. Frogs As Bio-indicators
1) Double life—amphibious What does this mean ?
2) Permeable skin 3) Absorb and concentrate toxins--
biomagnification
![Page 12: Do Now - In the early 1990’s Students and Scientists in Minnesota and elsewhere had found malformed frogs. Then the issue hit the national media in 1995.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070415/5697bfcf1a28abf838caa17d/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Biomagnification• Biological magnification is when certain substances such
as pesticides or heavy metals like mercury move up the food chain, work their way into rivers or lakes, and are eaten by aquatic organisms such as fish, which are then eaten by large birds, animals or humans.

External Malformations
• extra or missing limbs• branching limbs• spikes or protuberances• missing eyes• abnormal webbing

Internal Malformations
• reproductive• digestive• urinary

Causes of Malformations
• genetic origins• parasite disruption of limb formation• chemical contamination• viruses• ultraviolet radiation• physical trauma (predation, people)
![Page 21: Do Now - In the early 1990’s Students and Scientists in Minnesota and elsewhere had found malformed frogs. Then the issue hit the national media in 1995.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070415/5697bfcf1a28abf838caa17d/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

Possible Chemical Contaminants
• Agrochemicals (pesticides) • Heavy metals• Acid Rain (sulphur dioxide reacting with rain)• Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs)
![Page 23: Do Now - In the early 1990’s Students and Scientists in Minnesota and elsewhere had found malformed frogs. Then the issue hit the national media in 1995.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070415/5697bfcf1a28abf838caa17d/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Types of Agrochemicals
• herbicidesManeb-
fungicide
• pesticides propylthiourea
• fertilizers
![Page 24: Do Now - In the early 1990’s Students and Scientists in Minnesota and elsewhere had found malformed frogs. Then the issue hit the national media in 1995.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070415/5697bfcf1a28abf838caa17d/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Correlations to Human Health Concerns
• high nitrate levels (from fertilizers) in human drinking water and frog breeding ponds are hazardous
• human birth defects result from pesticide application
• UV radiation results in blindness and skin cancer in humans and other animals; DNA damage in developing frog eggs
![Page 25: Do Now - In the early 1990’s Students and Scientists in Minnesota and elsewhere had found malformed frogs. Then the issue hit the national media in 1995.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070415/5697bfcf1a28abf838caa17d/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Where have all the frogs gone?
Global Population Decline
• a concern during the past decade• frog declines widespread and well-
documented• possible causes include habitat
destruction, increased UV radiation, and chemical contamination
![Page 26: Do Now - In the early 1990’s Students and Scientists in Minnesota and elsewhere had found malformed frogs. Then the issue hit the national media in 1995.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070415/5697bfcf1a28abf838caa17d/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Global Population Declines
•Loss of habitat from filling in wetlands to
create more farmland for crops, and to build more houses and roads
![Page 27: Do Now - In the early 1990’s Students and Scientists in Minnesota and elsewhere had found malformed frogs. Then the issue hit the national media in 1995.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070415/5697bfcf1a28abf838caa17d/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Global Population Declines
• Increasing ultraviolet radiation• Pollution by chemicals• Acid rain• Pathogens• Parasites• Introduction of non-native species
![Page 28: Do Now - In the early 1990’s Students and Scientists in Minnesota and elsewhere had found malformed frogs. Then the issue hit the national media in 1995.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070415/5697bfcf1a28abf838caa17d/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

Global Population Declines
Other places experiencing declines include: Puerto Rico Ecuador Venezuela Brazil U.S. Rocky Mountains Cascade Mountain Range in Washington, Oregon, and California

Exit Card
• In order to leave class you must hand in a sheet of paper with the following questions answered….
1.Why do we care if there are frogs living with malformations ?
2.How can this information help humans ?
