Road networks are central drivers of biodiversity loss and their impacts are rapidly
expanding. Pond-breeding amphibians are highly vulnerable to road impacts because they …

Coevolution between two species can lead to exaggerated phenotypes that vary in a
correlated manner across space. However, the conditions under which we expect such …

Background The southern California biodiversity hotspot has had a complex geological
history, with both plate tectonic forces and sea level changes repeatedly reconfiguring the …

Numerous studies have documented high numbers of amphibians killed by vehicular strikes
on roads. This direct mortality can cause population declines and extirpations, but in some …

The arroyo southwestern toad is a specialized and federally endangered amphibian
endemic to the coastal plains and mountains of central and southern California and …

In this paper, a parasitism–mutualism–predation model is proposed to investigate the
dynamics of multi-interactions among cuckoos, crows and cats with stage-structure and …

We construct a hybrid, stage-structured mathematical model to study whether trap** of the
invasive predatory crayfish Procambarus clarkii can prevent local extinctions of the …

In this paper, the bifurcations of a discrete stage-structured population model with self-
limitation between the two subgroups are investigated. We explore all possible codimension …

Prolonged drought due to climate change has negatively impacted amphibians in southern
California, USA Due to the severity and length of the current drought, agencies and …

North American species of the genus Cybaeus L. Koch (Araneae: RTA clade: Cybaeidae)
are woodland spiders classified in Holarctic and Californian clades. Here, in the fifth and …
