Bystander effects in bullfrog tadpoles
Adaptive responses were observed using the micronucleus frequency in bullfrog tadpoles. In tanks in which control tadpoles were placed in contact with tadpoles that were previously housed in tritiated water (3.0× 104 Bq/L), the cells from all animals responded as though they were “adapted”. This suggests that direct exposure to 3.0× 104 Bq/L tritium contributes to an increased resistance to a h...
متن کاملMicrohabitat Preferences of Bullfrog Tadpoles (Rana catesbeiana) of Different Ages
I experimentally investigated the habitat use preferences of bullfrog (Rana catesbeiana) tadpoles of different ages (early, first-year vs. late, second-year, premetamorphic) in the laboratory. Early tadpoles showed a preference for non-vegetated areas, whereas late tadpoles showed no preference. Early tadpoles were seen more often over small, gravel substrate as opposed to large rocks, whereas ...
متن کاملEffects of malathion on survival, growth, development, and equilibrium posture of bullfrog tadpoles (Rana catesbeiana).
Bullfrog (Rana catesbeiana) tadpoles were exposed to malathion in water in a 28-d static renewal test. The effects of malathion on survival, growth, development, and loss of equilibrium posture were determined. Survival was significantly decreased at malathion concentrations of 2,500 micrograms/L and higher. Development of tadpoles was delayed significantly by malathion exposure as indicated by...
متن کاملThe Effects of Aeration on Amphibian Larval Growth: An Experiment with Bullfrog Tadpoles
I conducted an experiment to assess the effects of aeration on the growth of bullfrog tadpoles (Rana catesbeiana). Tadpoles in the non-aerated treatment grew slower than tadpoles in the aerated treatment. Tadpoles in the nonaerated treatment were observed at the water's surface more often and on food resources less often than tadpoles in the aerated treatment. Oxygen concentrations in natural a...
متن کاملRadiation Bystander Effects Mechanism
Introduction: Radiation Induced Bystander Effect (RIBE) which cause radiation effects in non-irradiated cells, has challenged the principle according to which radiation traversal through the nucleus of a cell is necessary for producing biological responses. What is the mechanism of this phenomenon? To have a better understanding of this rather ambiguous concept substantial number of original ...
