Population losses and extinctions of species are occurring at unprecedented rates, as
exemplified by declines and extinctions of amphibians worldwide. However, studies of …

Considerable progress has been made in understanding the responses of amphibians to
climate change, with successful research carried out on climate change‐associated shifts in …

Greater than 70% of the world's amphibian species are in decline. We propose that there is
probably not a single cause for global amphibian declines and present a three-tiered …

As part of an overall decline in biodiversity, populations of many organisms are declining
and species are being lost at unprecedented rates around the world. This includes many …

The role of global climate change in the decline of biodiversity and the emergence of
infectious diseases remains controversial, and the effect of climatic variability, in particular …

Infectious diseases are intimately associated with the dynamics of biodiversity. However, the
role that infectious disease plays within ecological communities is complex. The complex …

Amphibians are an important and imperiled component of biodiversity. In this study we
analyze the efficacy of Italian reserve network for protecting multiple amphibian species in a …

Species are influenced by multiple environmental stressors acting simultaneously. Our
objective was to compare the expected effects of climate change and invasion of non …

Terrestrial ecoregions, including critical ecoregions (CEs), vulnerable ecoregions (VEs), and
intact ecoregions (IEs) have been used by the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) to classify global …

Amphibian declines have been documented worldwide and several have been linked to
climate change, but the long-term data needed to detect declines are largely restricted to …
