Table 1.

Locations of study ponds, contamination level (sum of toxic units, STU, see Eq. 2), number of captured toad pairs and number of toad pairs that spawned

Pond Coordinates (WGS84) STU Number of toad pairs
Captured Spawned
A 49.25475, 7.96182 −4.48 12 11
B 49.23830, 7.99002 −3.48 13 11
C 49.20329, 8.20917 −3.09 15 13
D 49.21830, 8.04944 −2.25 14 14
E 49.18898, 8.03709 −1.75 8 5

Pond letters indicate increasing STU. Since no pesticides were detected in pond A, its STU was calculated based on the use of 1/10 of the minimum TU observed in the sites with detected concentrations (for rationale s. Schäfer et al. 2011)
