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 …

The selection of breeding habitat has broadscale implications for species distributions and
community structure and smaller-scale ramifications for offspring survival and parental …

The recognition that invasive alien species (IAS) are among the greatest threats to
biodiversity has stimulated a growing interest in their impacts on native amphibians. Here …

The genetic era has revolutionized our perception of biological invasions. Yet, it is usually
too late to understand their genesis for efficient management. Here, we take the rare …

Invasive species can influence host-pathogen dynamics through a variety of mechanisms,
potentially exacerbating or ameliorating disease consequences for native species …

Alien species can strongly impact local environments and compete against native species,
which can lead to their extinction. Marsh frogs of the Pelophylax ridibundus complex are one …

Background. Frogs are generalist predators of a wide range of typically small prey items. But
descriptions of dietary items regularly include other anurans, such that frogs are considered …

Among invasive species, floating plants have a great impact on aquatic ecosystems, forming
dense mats that cause a great alteration of the physical and chemical water features. We …

Contributing to the worldwide biodiversity crisis are emerging infectious diseases, which can
lead to extirpations and extinctions of hosts. For example, the infectious fungal pathogen …

The spatial distribution of organisms in patchy environments can be determined by the
relationship between habitat quality and animal behaviour. In species with complex life …
