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 …

Background Rescuing amphibian diversity is an achievable conservation challenge.
Disease mitigation is one essential component of population management. Here we assess …

Ponds and pools, broadly defined in this paper to include all small and shallow standing
waters that permanently or temporarily contain water, are numerous, diverse and important …

In some agricultural regions, natural wetlands are scarce, and constructed agricultural
ponds may represent important alternative breeding habitats for amphibians. Properly …

Deicing agents, primarily road salt, are applied to roads in 26 states in the United States and
in a number of European countries, yet the scale of impacts of road salt on aquatic …

Summary 1 Riparian trees regulate aquatic ecosystem processes, such as inputs of light,
organic matter and nutrients, that can be altered dramatically when these trees are …

Large‐scale field patterns are a fundamental source of inferences on processes responsible
for variation in species richness among habitats. We examined species richness of larval …

The fossil record of wetlands documents unique and long-persistent floras and faunas with
wetland habitats spawning or at least preserving novel evolutionary characteristics and, at …

Urbanization is currently responsible for widespread declines of amphibian populations
globally through the loss, isolation, and degradation of habitat. However, it is not clear how …

In the past few years, the framework of complex networks has provided new insight into the
organization and function of biological systems. However, in spite of its potential, spatial …
