   Interesting stuff Rob.
Some links to research into Glyphosate effects on amphibians can be found in our (NE's) Frequently Asked Questions page... copied below for info. Another of the FAQs advises people treating ponds with Crassula against using Glyphosate with the surfactant POEA. 

Q. Is there any literature available on glyphosate herbicide and its effects on
amphibians?
A: Yes, some literature is available.
