How plants affect amphibian populations
Descriptions of amphibian habitat, both aquatic and terrestrial, often include plants as
characteristics but seldom is it understood whether and how those plants affect amphibian …

Importance of local weather and environmental gradients on demography of a broadly distributed temperate frog
Amphibian populations are sensitive to environmental temperatures and moisture, which
vary with local weather conditions and may reach new norms and extremes as …

Livestock grazing, climatic variation, and breeding phenology jointly shape disease dynamics and survival in a wild amphibian
Wildlife responses to infectious disease can be influenced by environmental stressors that
alter host-pathogen dynamics. We investigated how livestock grazing, climatic variation, and …

Ground cover and native ant predation influence survival of metamorphic amphibians in a southeastern pine savanna undergoing restoration
Longleaf pine savannas historically supported abundant ground cover maintained by
frequent fire but little other disturbance. Ground cover creates microclimates with lower …

Phylogenetic investigation of skin sloughing rates in frogs: Relationships with skin characteristics and disease-driven declines
Amphibian skin is highly variable in structure and function across anurans, and plays an
important role in physiological homeostasis and immune defence. For example, skin …
