Agricultural intensification is responsible for major habitat degradation and is a primary
cause of biodiversity loss. Amphibians are currently facing a global decline induced by …

As a group amphibians are the vertebrates most affected by anthropic activity, particularly by
agriculture. The rapid advance of the agricultural frontier makes it important to identify the …

Habitat loss, together with less obvious land-use changes such as intensified farming
practice, can have significant adverse impacts on biodiversity. An important factor in …

Most amphibian species are highly dependent on available aquatic habitats and their
surrounding environments. In this study, we determined which factors influence amphibian …

A massive decline of biodiversity is caused by land-use changes. Efforts must therefore be
made to better understand the factors that govern organismal distribution, especially for …

Wetlands, especially ponds, and their associated amphibian biodiversity are threatened by
agricultural intensification. To improve conservation planning of these ecosystems, we need …

Mitigating the negative impacts of agriculture on amphibians requires knowledge of how
different land uses affect species distribution and community composition. In the case of …

Context Evaluating herpetofauna presence and the species-specific and species richness
patterns in response to agricultural landscape features is essential for understanding the …

The protection of wetlands is a cornerstone in the conservation of pond-breeding
amphibians. Because protected wetlands are rarely natural areas, but are often man-made …

Agricultural reform and infrastructural development are among the major drivers of
biodiversity loss and landscape homogenization worldwide. Ponds and other small stagnant …
