With frog populations in decline, it is important to understand the impact of changing environmental stressors, such as increased solar UV-B radiation, on frog health. This study investigated the impact of elevated UV-B radiation on tadpole immune function, and the carry-over effects of early UV-B exposure on immune function, post-metamorphosis.
