Abstract Protected Areas (PAs) are the cornerstone of biodiversity conservation. Here, we
collated distributional data for> 14,000 (~ 70% of) species of amphibians and reptiles …

Abstract Only 7% of the Atlantic Forest Biodiversity Hotspot is currently protected, though it
holds 18% of all amphibian species in South America. How effective would the Atlantic …

Aim Protected areas are an important tool for conserving species. In this study, we assessed
the effectiveness of protected areas to conserve amphibian biodiversity in response to future …

Amphibians and reptiles will be adversely affected by projected rapid changes in climate in
the next decades. Here, we review the known and potential impacts of climate change on …

Understanding the locations of potential invasion hotspots and the extent to which they
overlap with biodiversity hotspots is crucial for prioritizing efforts to reduce the impacts of …

Spatial conservation prioritization should seek to anticipate climate change impacts on
biodiversity and to mitigate these impacts through the development of dynamic conservation …

Amphibians are undergoing a global conservation crisis, and they are one of the most
underrepresented groups of vertebrates in the global network of protected areas (PAs). In …

Species' vulnerability to extinction is strongly impacted by their geographical range size.
Formulating effective conservation strategies therefore requires a better understanding of …

Protected areas (PAs) play a pivotal role in maintaining viable populations of species and
minimizing their habitat loss. Globally, there are currently over 200,000 PAs that cover …

Current climate change is a major threat to biodiversity. Species unable to adapt or move
will face local or global extinction and this is more likely to happen to species with narrow …
