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 …

Several amphibian lineages epitomize the faunal biodiversity crises, with numerous reports
of population declines and extinctions worldwide. Predicting how such lineages will cope …

The vulnerability of species to climate change is jointly influenced by geographic phenotypic
variation, acclimation and behavioural thermoregulation. The importance of interactions …

Temperature plays a key role in the biology of ectotherms, including anurans, which are
found at higher elevations in the tropics than anywhere in the temperate zone. High …

Differences in advertisement calls and calling sites are important mechanisms that regulate
interactions in anuran assemblages. Individuals might have preferences for ranges of …

The herbicide glyphosate is widely used on Brazilian crops and commonly found in water
bodies. Despite its usefulness in controlling pests and increasing agricultural production …

Biological and methodological factors influence the upper thermal limits (UTL) of ectothermic
animals, but most factors have been studied independently. Few studies have integrated …

Most of the literature on temperature–organism interactions rely on mean temperature
(mostly air), disregarding the real complexity of this variable. There is a growing consensus …

The current global warming scenario has led to a renewed interest in determining which
species are more vulnerable to climate change. Hence, it is important to understand which …

Rhinella spinulosa is one of the anuran species with the greatest presence in Chile. This
species mainly inhabits mountain habitats and is distributed latitudinally along the western …
