- Title
Biological half-life and distribution of radiocesium in a contaminated population of green treefrogs Hyla cinerea.

- Abstract
Radiocesium content of adult male green treefrogs Hyla cinerea from a contaminated habitat is adequately described by a log normal distribution with mean 2.277 log10 pCi g-1 dry wt (189.2 pCi g-1) and variance of 0.031. There was significant negative correlation of body burden with body length and weight (p < 0.05), but the relationship lacked predictive power (r² = 0.10). Biological half-life of radiocesium in unfed, captive frogs held. at 20°-30°C aver- aged 30.1 d.
