| dc.abstract.en | Amphibians are highly vulnerable to anthropogenic pollution, primarily due to their permeable skin and eggs, as well as their habitat preferences. Endocrine-disrupting compounds (EDCs), prevalent in aquatic environments and soil, pose a significant threat to their survival. While the physiological effects of EDCs on amphibians have been extensively studied, their impact on behavior remains relatively unexplored. This paper reviews the existing literature on the impact of EDCs on the mating behavior of amphibians, including disruptions in acoustic, olfactory, and visual communication. Although it has been shown that amphibian reproduction can be affected by endocrine disruptors, there are still significant research gaps. We performed an extensive review of the literature, which yielded only 27 eligible studies—21 of which tested the effects on mating communication and behavior, and only 6 examined the impact on body coloration. There is a strong need for a deeper understanding of how EDCs, both alone and in combination with other stressors, affect the reproductive behavior of amphibians, as this may have serious implications for the dynamics and survival of entire populations and species. | |
