As a class of vertebrates, amphibians, are at greater risk for declines or extinctions than any
other vertebrate group, including birds and mammals. There are many threats, including …

Random forest (RF) and MaxEnt models are shallow machine learning approaches that
perform well in predicting species' potential distributions. RF models can produce robust …

The environment experienced by developing organisms can shape the timing and character
of developmental processes, generating different phenotypes from the same genotype, each …

Amphibians are among the vertebrate groups suffering great losses of biodiversity due to a
variety of causes including diseases, such as chytridiomycosis (caused by the fungal …

The pathogenic fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis has caused declines of amphibians
worldwide. Yet our understanding of how water quality influences fungal pathogenicity is …

Environmental challenges early in development can result in complex phenotypic trade-offs
and long-term effects on individual physiology, performance and behavior, with implications …

In the last century, a plethora of species have shown rapid phenological changes in
response to climate change. Among animals, amphibians exhibit some of the greatest …

Imidacloprid, a neonicotinoid pesticide, is used to prevent the spread of the hemlock woolly
