Summary

This work addressed the hypothesis that differential sensitivity among species to UV radiation contributes to population declines in amphibians by focusing on species-specific differences in the abilities of eggs to repair UV radiation damage to DNA and differential hatching success of embryos exposed to solar radiation at natural oviposition sites.
