Larval exposure to pesticides can occur at different times during development and can negatively impact amphibian fitness. We examined the effects of larval green frog (Rana clamitans) exposure to carbaryl at 2, 4, 8, or 16 weeks of development on juvenile predatory ability. We did not find evidence that predatory ability was affected by exposure to carbaryl, which suggests that carbaryl does not have latent effects on the predatory performance of green frogs in subsequent life stages.
幼虫在发育的不同时期可能会接触到农药，这可能会对两栖动物的适应能力产生负面影响。我们研究了绿蛙（Rana clamitans）幼虫在发育的第 2、4、8 或 16 周时接触carbaryl 的情况对幼体捕食能力的影响。我们没有发现暴露于 carbaryl 会影响捕食能力的证据，这表明 carbaryl 对绿蛙后续生命阶段的捕食表现没有潜在影响。
