Abstract
New findings suggest that exposure to very low amounts of atrazine--one of the most widely used herbicides in the United States--in the wild is turning male frogs into hermaphrodites. But new experimental results in another frog species cast doubt on such low-dose effects. At stake could be continued regulatory approval for atrazine.Keywords
