amphibians are known as biological indicators. When the environment gets polluted from pesticides or ozone depletion they are the first to be affected. Since most amphibians breathre through their skin and absorb water that way the amphibians can die from the pesticides that are put in water. Sometimes they can even cause birth defects for example a five-legged frog might occur, because of this their population is decreasing. When people discover what is happening to them, we all know that this is what we are doing to them. We made the ozone layer thinner, we put pesticides in water.

Why are amphibians sometime called ecological indicators?
Because unhealthy amphibians can be an early sign of changes in an ecosystem.
What are the biological indicators for air pollution?
Biological indicators for air pollution include lichens, mosses, and certain tree species that show sensitivity to pollutants like sulfur dioxide and heavy metals. Additionally, the health of sensitive species like bees, butterflies, and amphibians can also indicate air pollution levels. Changes in biodiversity and population sizes of these species can provide valuable insights into the impacts of air pollution on ecosystems.
Are reptiles considered to be biological indicators?
Not nearly as much dependence on reptiles as amphibians. Reptiles can endure many more environmental assaults than the amphibian that preforms a significant amount of it's gas exchange through it's skin.
What is Bioindicator species?
Biological indicators are species used to monitor the health of an environment or ecosystem.

What are good pictures of amphibians?
Pictures that show amphibians in their natural habitat or pictures capturing amphibians in rare moments that are almost impossible to see. That depends on what you view as a good picture.
Unusually wide distribution of a disease or simultaneous outbreaks of a disease might be indicators of what type of incident?
Biological
What are natural indicators?
The natural indicators are blackberry and many other bright-coloured flowers make good natural indicators
What species are the biological indicators of zinc?
Some theorists are saying pigeons. You know like city pigeons? Well That is what they are saying
What are pollution indicators?
Pollution indicators can include changes in air quality, such as high levels of particulate matter or ozone. Water pollution indicators may involve elevated levels of contaminants like heavy metals or bacteria. Biological indicators like the presence of certain species can also signal pollution in an ecosystem.
Are lichens are good indicators of air quality?
yes because they can withstand heat and cold but not smoke or fumes and this is how we know they are good indicators of air quality
