Guidance for Developing Amphibian Population Models for Ecological Risk Assessment

Abstract: Despite widespread acceptance of the utility of population modeling and advocacy of this approach for a more ecologically relevant perspective, it is not routinely incorporated in ecological risk assessments (ERA). A systematic framework for situation‐specific model development is one of the major challenges to broadly adopting population models in ERA. As risk assessors confront the multitude of species and chemicals requiring evaluation, an adaptable stepwise guide for model parameterization would facilitate… Show more

“…Phylogenetic differences, as demonstrated in aquatic insects, can capture meaningful ecophysiological traits that explain variance in toxicant susceptibility (Buchwalter et al 2008). In the context of Pop‐GUIDE, traits may be included in Phase 2 to increase realism where they have been identified to influence a population's susceptibility to chemical exposure (Awkerman et al 2020). For data‐limited taxa, such as the majority of listed species, trait‐based approaches and comparative analyses provide a systematic approach for cross‐species comparisons (Rueda‐Cediel et al 2019) and for identifying potential representative species for modeling.…”

“…This lack of validated amphibian population models precludes their use for the assessment of population responses to EACs at the present time. However, this should change in the future as appropriate models become available (see Awkerman et al, 2019 for guidance on developing amphibian population models for chemical risk assessment).…”

“…The biphasic life cycle of anuran amphibians makes them particularly vulnerable to extrinsic stressors because of their dependence on variable aquatic habitat resources as well as terrestrial environmental quality (Nolan et al, 2023). Their complex life history strategy and multiple potential drivers of population decline require a more nuanced approach to targeting spatial and temporal variability in stressors relative to life stage (Walls and Gabor, 2019;Awkerman et al, 2020). Distinguishing stagespecific endogenous variation in physiological processes enables anticipation of compromised physical condition in response to common stressors (Brooks and Kindsvater, 2022;Nolan et al, 2023).…”
