Given their physiological requirements, limited dispersal abilities, and hydrologically
sensitive habitats, amphibians are likely to be highly sensitive to future climatic changes. We …

Understanding species responses to climatic change over extended timescales helps
elucidate past and future extinction events. Amphibians are one of the most environmentally …

Ecology Letters (2011) 14: 1125–1133 Abstract Forecasts of species endangerment under
climate change usually ignore the processes by which species ranges shift. By analysing the …

Amphibians are a bellwether for environmental degradation, even in natural ecosystems
such as Yellowstone National Park in the western United States, where species have been …

Despite wide evidence of a quickly changing world, systematic conservation planning
analyses are usually static assuming that the biodiversity being preserved in sites do not …

Considerable progress has been made in understanding the responses of amphibians to
climate change, with successful research carried out on climate change‐associated shifts in …

Many amphibian populations in desert environments are likely at risk of decline or
extirpation due to more extreme weather driven by climate change. Most desert species are …

Global climates have been changing, sometimes rapidly and dramatically, throughout the
evolutionary history of amphibians. Therefore, existing amphibian species have been …

Climate change-induced extinctions are estimated to eliminate one in six known species by
the end of the century. One major factor that will contribute to these extinctions is extreme …

Aim Climate change is an increasingly important driver of biodiversity loss. The ectothermic
nature of amphibians may make them particularly sensitive to changes in temperature and …
