BACKGROUND Climate change impacts have now been documented across every
ecosystem on Earth, despite an average warming of only~ 1° C so far. Here, we describe the …

Phenotypic plasticity and genetic adaptation are predicted to mitigate some of the negative
biotic consequences of climate change. Here, we evaluate evidence for plastic and …

The Class Amphibia is one of the most severely impacted taxa in an on-going global
biodiversity crisis. Because amphibian reproduction is tightly associated with the presence …

Aim As anuran reproduction is generally linked to the availability of water, frogs and toads
are particularly sensitive to climate. We tested the effect of climate on anuran reproductive …

Passive acoustic monitoring has proven effective for broad-scale population surveys of
acoustically active species, making it a valuable tool for conserving threatened species …

Temperate ectotherms have responded to recent environmental change, likely due to the
direct and indirect effects of temperature on key life cycle events. Yet, a substantial number …

Global climate warming is predicted to hasten the onset of spring breeding by anuran
amphibians in seasonal environments. Previous data had indicated that the breeding …

BRCA1 is a large multi-domain protein with a pivotal role in maintaining genome stability
and cell cycle progression. Germline mutations in the BRCA1 gene confer an estimated …

Compared with the risks associated with climate warming and extremes, the risks of climate-
induced drying to animal species remain understudied. This is particularly true for water …

Abstract The Carthaginian tree frog, Hyla carthaginiensis, is an endemic species confined to
northern Tunisia and north-eastern Algeria. The species is known for its limited dispersal …
