Summary:
A study found that Blanchard's cricket frogs
are highly sensitive to atrazine. When exposed, there were up to 55 percent
fewer males than females compared with the control group, indicating that
atrazine can affect the sex ratio. However, cricket frog populations do persist
in areas with widespread atrazine application, despite reports of range
contractions for enigmatic reasons.
