Abstract

This study assessed the effect of temperature on the potency of carbaryl using tadpoles of Rana clamitans. Temperature, chemical concentration, and the interaction of temperature and chemical significantly affected survival. Generally, increased temperature resulted in lowersurvival. This study suggests a range of temperatures realistic for a species should be used in toxicity tests. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
