HENAO MUNOZ, Liliana Marcela; TRIANA VELASQUEZ, Teófila María; GALINDO MARTINEZ, Carlos Alberto  y  BERNAL BAUTISTA, Manuel Hernando. Toxicity of three organophosphate insecticides in anuran embryos at different temperatures. Acta biol.Colomb. [online]. 2021, vol.26, n.1, pp.5-11.  Epub 16-Mar-2021. ISSN 0120-548X.  https://doi.org/10.15446/abc.v26n1.78618.

In anurans, the effects of different agrochemicals and temperature have been recurrent topics in research; however, these variables are addressed independently without considering that they can exert a simultaneous pressure on the species. For this reason, this work aims to determine the toxicity (through the Medium Lethal Concentration -LC50) of the organophosphate insecticides: chlorpyrifos, diazinon and monocrotophos, under three thermal regimes (23, 28 and 33 ± 1 °C) on embryos ofthree species of anurans. According to the LC50 values, the chlorpyrifos insecticide was the most toxic, followed by diazinon and monocrotophos. On the other hand, an increase in the toxicity of the organophosphate insecticides studied was generally found at the highest experimental temperature (33 °C). In addition, the effect of temperature became more noticeable for the organisms exposed to chlorpyrifos, the most lethal insecticide. These results suggest a negative effect for the aquatic fauna of anurans due to the current excessive use of this type of agrochemicals and their interaction with environmental temperature.
