Some workers have proposed that synergistic interactions may contribute to the decline and disappearance of amphibians (Blaustein & Wake 1990; Carey 1993; Blaustein et al. 1994a). In this pilot study, we tested the effects of low pH and increased ultraviolet-B radiation (UV-B) on frog-embryo survival. Blaustein et al. (1994b) correlated differences in declines in three anuran species in the Cascades with differences in their abilities to
