Present article sketches out major climate induced changes in marine, aquatic and terrestrial
life. Few important biomarkers such as ecological, meteorological, socioeconomic, thermal …

Climate change is putting the fate of ectothermic animals at stake because their body
temperature closely tracks environmental temperatures. The ability to adjust thermal limits …

Rising temperatures represent a significant threat to the survival of ectothermic animals. As
such, upper thermal limits represent an important trait to assess the vulnerability of …

Background: Globally, invasive amphibians are known for their environmental and social
impacts that range from poisoning of local fauna and human populations to direct predation …

In this chapter we review the current knowledge on terrestrial vertebrate invasions in South
Africa. Thirty species of mammals, birds, reptiles and amphibians are considered to have …

In this study we focused on Physella acuta, an alien snail species in order to determine their
ability of bioaccumulation of heavy metals in their shells, bodies, the difference in …

Age-and size-related life-history traits of anuran amphibians are thought to vary
systematically with latitude and altitude. Because the available data base is strongly biased …

Intertidal organisms have evolved physiological mechanisms that enable them to maintain
performance and survive during periods of severe environmental stress with temperatures …

Invasive species frequently cope with ecological conditions that are different from those to
which they adapted, presenting an opportunity to investigate how phenotypes change …

Aim To determine whether recent range expansion of small‐bodied arboreal frogs,
Hyperolius marmoratus Rapp, is accompanied by changes in species–environment …
