Antimony, a heavy metal, affects the swimming speed of Pelophylax nigromaculatus tadpoles. Researchers found that when these critters are exposed to antimony in two different ways—either in short bursts (pulse exposure) or continuously (constant exposure) for 28 days—they swim significantly slower.
