Christoph Leeb

Hey Laurent,

have a look at the paper " The use of buccal swabs as a minimal-invasive method for detecting effects of pesticide exposure on enzymatic activity in common wall lizards" from Mingo et al. (2016).

They analysed GST, GR and AChE in wall lizards. I would guess that this will also work for amphibians and several other biomarkers. We took some Bufo bufo saliva samples to test this last year, but haven't analyzed them yet.

Best,

Christoph
