Amphibians have declined dramatically worldwide. Many of these declines are occurring in areas where no obvious anthropogenic stressors are present. It is proposed that in these areas, environmental factors such as elevated solar ultraviolet-B (UV-B) radiation could be responsible. These data demonstrate that early UV-B exposure can have carry-over effects on later life-history traits evenContinue reading “Early exposure to ultraviolet-B radiation decreases immune function later in life”
