Thermal performance curves (TPC s), which quantify how an ectotherm's body temperature
(Tb) affects its performance or fitness, are often used in an attempt to predict organismal …

Body size at metamorphosis is a key trait in species (such as many anurans) with biphasic
life-histories. Experimental studies have shown that metamorph size is highly plastic …

Ectotherm thermal physiology is frequently used to predict species responses to changing
climates, but for amphibians, water loss may be of equal or greater importance. Using …

Phenotypic plasticity may allow ectotherms with complex life histories such as amphibians to
cope with climate‐driven changes in their environment. Plasticity in thermal tolerance (ie …

Concerns over the consequences of global climate change for biodiversity have spurred a
renewed interest in organismal thermal physiology. However, temperature is only one of …

Due to their highly permeable skin and ectothermy, terrestrial amphibians are challenged by
compromises between water balance and body temperature regulation. The way in which …

High mountain lakes are mostly naturally fishless ecosystems that have received numerous
trout introductions over the world. Extensive studies mostly developed in west North America …

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 …

The aim of this study was to provide EFSA with information relating to assessment of the risk
to amphibians posed by pesticide exposure. In the first part of the study the European …

Aim High‐latitude ectotherms are predicted to be less physiologically vulnerable to climate
warming than tropical species based on their larger thermal safety margins, the distance …
