Loss of amphibian species alters periphyton communities in montane ponds
Amphibian larvae can affect the structure and functioning of freshwater ecosystems, but their effects have been little explored although amphibian...
-
Niche overlap by invasion of Oncorhynchus mykiss on the habitat of its amphibian prey in central Mexico
The introduction of exotic species is one of the main leading factors in the decline and extinction of amphibian populations worldwide. Reductions in...
-
Population declines of a widespread amphibian in agricultural landscapes
Modern agricultural practices are suspected to play a major role in the ongoing erosion of biodiversity. In order to assess whether this biodiversity...

Amphibian survival compromised by long-term effects of chytrid fungus
Chytridiomycosis, the disease caused by the fungal pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis ( Bd ), has been unambiguously implicated in the decline of...

Random Frogs: using future climate and land-use scenarios to predict amphibian distribution change in the Upper Missouri River Basin
ContextClimate change and anthropogenic stressors have contributed to rapid declines in biodiversity worldwide, particularly for amphibians....

Landscape use and Habitat Configuration Effects on Amphibian Diversity in Southern Brazil Wetlands
In this study, we evaluated the effect of changes in natural wetlands on the amphibian diversity at differing spatial and temporal scales. We sampled...

Sampling through space and time: multi-year analysis reveals dynamic population genetic patterns for an amphibian metapopulation
Metapopulations are dynamic, and population genetics can reveal both spatial and temporal metapopulation variation. Yet, population genetic studies...

Environmental and Anthropogenic Factors Shape the Skin Bacterial Communities of a Semi-Arid Amphibian Species
The amphibian skin microbiome is important in maintaining host health, but is vulnerable to perturbation from changes in biotic and abiotic...

Safe and genotyped. A non-invasive method for extraction of amphibian DNA from water baths and its application on Northern spectacled salamanders, Salamandrina perspicillata (Savi 1821)
The global decline of amphibian populations, with 40.7% of species classified as threatened, calls for innovative and ethical approaches in...

Factors influencing persistence of a threatened amphibian in restored wetlands despite severe population decline during climate change driven weather extremes
Biodiversity is in global decline during the Anthropocene. Declines have been caused by multiple factors, such as habitat removal, invasive species,...
-
Amphibian phylogenetic diversity in the face of future climate change: not so good news for the chilean biodiversity hotspot
Climate change is projected to be the most extensive human-induced disturbance to occur on natural ecosystems, inducing changes in different...

Landscape attributes explain co-occurrence between an endemic amphibian and alien trout in mountainous streams of Córdoba (Argentina)
Amphibians inhabiting mountainous water bodies are frequently documented as the most affected by alien species, being trout one of the introduced...

Integrating dispersal, breeding and abundance data with graph theory for the characterization and management of functional connectivity in amphibian pondscapes
ContextRobust assessment of functional connectivity in amphibian population networks is essential to address their global decline. The potential of...
-
Melanesia holds the world’s most diverse and intact insular amphibian fauna
Identifying hotspots of biological diversity is a key step in conservation prioritisation. Melanesia—centred on the vast island of New Guinea—is...
-
Climate change from an ectotherm perspective: evolutionary consequences and demographic change in amphibian and reptilian populations
Understanding how natural populations will respond to contemporary changes in climate is becoming increasingly urgent and of fundamental importance...
-
Metabolites of Xenorhabdus bacteria are potent candidates for mitigating amphibian chytridiomycosis
Chytridiomycosis, caused by the chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd), has caused extreme losses in amphibian biodiversity. Finding...
-
High amphibian diversity throughout urban environmental heterogeneity
Urban growth negatively impacts biodiversity through species loss and biotic homogenization. However, cities continue to grow and there are species...
-
Persistence of amphibian metapopulation occupancy in dynamic wetlandscapes
ContextOccupancy and persistence of amphibian populations in patchy wetland habitats is influenced by landscape heterogeneity, species traits, and...
-
One frog to rule them all: wide environmental niche of invasive marsh frogs induces large co-occurrence patterns with native amphibian prey in ponds
Invasive alien anurans are introduced worldwide in freshwater ecosystems where they can have a strong impact on native organisms such as amphibians....
-
Simulating the response of a threatened amphibian to climate-induced reductions in breeding habitat
ContextAmphibians are declining worldwide due to disease, invasive species, and habitat loss. Climate change may exacerbate habitat loss by altering...
