Increased Circulating Levels of Testosterone and Corticosterone in Southern Toads, Bufo terrestris, Exposed to Coal Combustion Waste

This study describes an interrenal stress response in adult toads, Bufo terrestris, after exposure to coal combustion waste (characterized by a variety of trace elements). In the first portion of this study, free-ranging male toads captured at the coal ash polluted site exhibited significantly higher circulating levels of corticosterone (B) in both June/July and August […]
