Urbanisation currently threatens over one-third of the world's known amphibian species. The
main threats of urbanisation to amphibian populations are habitat loss, habitat fragmentation …

Much of Canada's terrestrial biodiversity is supported by boreal forests. Natural resource
development in boreal forests poses risks to this biodiversity. This paper reviews the …

Population regulation in pond-breeding amphibians has generally been assumed to occur
through density dependence in the aquatic larval stage. However, studies examining …

Ectotherms overwintering in temperate ecosystems must survive low temperatures while
conserving energy to fuel post-winter reproduction. Freeze-tolerant wood frogs, Rana …

Vernal pools provide critical breeding habitat for amphibians adapted to temporary waters,
but they seldom receive the same level of protection as permanent wetlands. In response to …

Migration presents a trade‐off for individuals between the potential fitness benefits of
reaching high‐quality habitat vs. the potential costs of migration. Within an information …

Animals are key members of ecosystems, contributing to processes like pollination, seed
dispersal, and herbivory. Incorporating measures of animal behavior into evaluations of …

Habitat loss and fragmentation continue to drive declines of amphibian populations.
Maintaining connectivity between aquatic and terrestrial habitats and across wetlands is …

Anuran amphibians are highly dependent on aquatic ecosystems. Many amphibian species
are exhibiting population declines primarily due to habitat destruction and water quality …

The COVID‐19 pandemic and its related human activity shutdowns provide unique
opportunities for biodiversity monitoring through what has been termed the “anthropause” or …
