Abstract: Using the electrophysiological method, this paper studied the influences of glyphosate on the nerve impulse generation and conduction of nerve trunk of Bufo gargarizans Cantor. By spraying a glyphosate solution on the toads′ skin, the valid ingredient of glyphosate can penetrate the toads′ bodies and act on their nervous systems. The biological signal recording …
Abstract: By applying Biological Signal Recording and Monitoring System, this paper aims to study influences of the herbicide glyphosate-isopropylammonium (GIA) on heart rate and electrocardiogram (ECG) of Bufo gargarizans Cantor. GIA solutions sprayed on the toads’ backs are absorbed through the skin and can effect cardiovascular function. Results show that as GIA concentrations increased, heart rate …
Abstract: For studying the chronic toxicities of herbicides on the vertebrate natural enemy, this paper measured the effects of glyphosate on the growth rate, motional rate and gastric vacuous rate of Bufo gargarizans Cantor. The results show that the sublethal dose of glyphosate obviously affected the growth and movement of the tadpoles and the predation of …
