The presence of amphibians in altered agricultural environments is notable, but thedisappearance of some species poses a risk with the risk of application of chemicalsassociated with agriculture in larvae and adultspecies. A comprehensive quantitativeassessment of the behavioral sensitivity of amphibians is essential to better understand thepopulation impact and ecological impacts applicable to contaminants. Thus, the aim of thestudy was to conduct a review usingthe scientometric method to assess the effects ofpesticides on the anuran population. The results indicate that the majority of studies wereconducted in Europe and Asia, involving case studiesand embryos in this group, 46.33% ofthe 218 studies focusedon the effects of insecticides. In particular, insecticides increase asabnormal swimming rates and decrease as escape responses to predator attacks. However, inthe analyzed articles, it was found that the lack of field tests and the excessive dependenceondirect toxicity tests in the laboratory can limit the ability to interpret the results under realfield conditions.References
