Pesticides in runoff can cause an increase in stress hormones and lead to immunosuppression in frogs. In some cases Hayes has found that the presence of atrazine, a common agricultural chemical, can even cause frogs that are genetically male to develop as females and produce eggs.

http://www.pbs.org/wnet/nature/episodes/frogs-the-thin-green-line/introduction/4763/ New Episode Premieres Sunday, April 5, 2009 at 8pm on PBS (check local listings) Frogs have been living on this planet for more than 360 million years. Today, however, all their remarkable adaptations and survival tactics are failing them. Recent discoveries are startling: more than a third of all amphibians most of which are frogs and toads have already been lost, and more are disappearing every day. A fungus called chytrid has been identified as the major culprit, and so far the spread of the fungus can t be stopped.

http://www.pbs.org/wnet/nature/episodes/frogs-the-thin-green-line/introduction/4763/ Allison Argo, the filmmaker behind Frogs: The Thin Green Line, discusses the making of the film in this Web-exlusive video. From the construction of an artificial pond set, to seeing the effects of the chytrid fungus first-hand, Allison describes the challenges she encountered in this project. With one-third of amphibian species threatened with extinction, Allison thinks the story of frogs is probably the most important environmental story of our time.

On the hunt for Toads!Enzo is on the hunt for toads in this awesome amphibious episode of Enzoology. Enzo knows where to look but it seems there are no toads in sight. Then, when all seems lost he finds what he's looking for - a super cool woodhouses toad.

Every night on Planet Earth, ponds, lakes, streams, marshes, and even forests come alive with the deafening chorus of lively amphibians called frogs. In this episode, we will explore some of the lesser-known habits and habitats of frogs and toads. We will also explore a new threat to frogs and amphibians that is capable of wiping out thousands of species of these beloved and essential creatures.Luckily, with the help of Planet Bonehead, and people like you all over the world, a consortium of scientists, biologists and wildlife experts, who are members of Amphibian Ark, have taken on a huge task that will save countless species of frogs and toads from extinction.Amphibian species are becoming extinct at a pace faster than anything we have ever experienced, and we need to spread the word. If we lose thousands of amphibian species, it will have an effect on our environment and on species all the way up the food chain.
