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

Amphibians and reptiles as a group are often secretive, reach their greatest diversity often in
remote tropical regions, and contain some of the most endangered groups of organisms on …

After decades of discussion, there is little consensus on the extent to which hybrids between
endangered and nonendangered species should be protected by US law. As increasingly …

Defining species' niches is central to understanding their distributions and is thus
fundamental to basic ecology and climate change projections. Ecological niche models …

Aims The environmental and socio‐economic impacts of alien species need to be quantified
in a way that makes impacts comparable. This allows managers to prioritize their control or …

Since the first documented declines of amphibian species, researchers have learned how
nonnative species can depress amphibian populations and lead to local extinctions. Here …

Molecular ecology has become one of the key tools in the modern conservationist's kit. Here
we review three areas where molecular ecology has been applied to amphibian …

Evolutionary and ecological consequences of hybridization between native and invasive
species are notoriously complicated because patterns of selection acting on non-native …

The delimitation of cryptic species and lineages is a common finding of phylogenetic studies.
Species previously considered to be of low conservation priority might actually be comprised …

Genomics has great potential to advance understanding of amphibian evolution, ecology,
and behavior, as well as to improve conservation of this highly imperiled class of …
