Tadpole Studies Amphibians are directly killed or are sublethally sickened through the influence of pesticides and or other gro-chemicals. Nitrates and malathion have yield a results that show a negative influence on tadpoles in all parameters. Malathion has showed a high frequency in morphological anomalies.
