I need know the impacts of the oil activities in the amphibian community of an amazonian ecosystem and methods for assessment this.
Lots of papers on impact of oil on fishes are available, but for amphibia contact Dr. Zaman
Hi. I'm a Brazilian researcher and I'm conducting a study on the effects of oil-palm on anurans in Eastern Amazon.
Thanks to all.
Fabricio, you can know your results?
It would be very interesting because Ecuador is starting with large areas of palm cultivation in the Amaon region.
Just saw this question, so sorry for the late reply. Shawn McCracken has a nice article on the effects of an oil road on bromeliad-dwelling amphibians: http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0085470
Otherwise, there's very little published research on this topic (oil exploration and extraction impacts on amphibians), especially from the tropics.
There is an article of my own recently published in Animal Biology.
