Alien herpetofauna have a broad diversity of ecological and evolutionary impacts, involving
seven mechanisms. Ecological impacts usually result from trophic disruptions and may be …

The exponential increase in species introductions during the Anthropocene has brought
about a major loss of biodiversity. Amphibians have suffered large declines, with more than …

As part of an overall decline in biodiversity, populations of many organisms are declining
and species are being lost at unprecedented rates around the world. This includes many …

Whether or not a frog is just a tadpole's way of making another tadpole, the larvae of
amphibians have been long underemphasized in science, education, and conservation …

Neuroecology unifies principles from diverse disciplines, scaling from biophysical properties
of nerve and muscle cells to community-wide impacts of trophic interactions. Here, these …

Native predators are postulated to have an important role in biotic resistance of communities
to invasion and community resilience. Effects of predators can be complex, and mechanisms …

Ecosystem biodiversity is being altered worldwide by species loss due to extinction from
human activities and species gain through intentional and accidental introductions (Sala et …

Keystone species structure ecological communities and are major determinants of
biodiversity. A synthesis of research on keystone species is nonetheless missing a critical …

Invasive species are widely viewed as unmitigated ecological catastrophes, but the reality is
