Decades of environmental DNA (eDNA) method application, spanning a wide variety of taxa
and habitats, has advanced our understanding of eDNA and underlined its value as a tool …

Alien invasive species (AIS) are one of the major causes of biodiversity loss and global
homogenization. Once an AIS becomes established, costs of control can be extremely high …

Beavers C astor canadensis are well known as ecosystem engineers for creating ponds by
damming streams. However, in wetlands with soft substrates and shallow banks, beavers …

I review the primary literature to ascertain the status of amphibian monitoring efforts in the
southeastern USA, a “hotspot” for biodiversity in North America. This effort revealed …

Context Species richness is a relevant diversity component of community ecology and many
standardised techniques are available for data estimations. However, each technique is …

Urban green spaces have the potential to harbor a rich biodiversity, including top predators,
which maintain the structure and regulate the dynamic processes of these urban …

Anurans living in species-rich assemblages may experience acoustic niche overlap. To deal
with potential masking interference during reproductive activity, species can present …

Changes in the amount, intensity, and timing of precipitation are increasing hydrologic
variability in many regions, but we have little understanding of how these changes are …

Amphibian declines around the world are a major conservation concern. Monitoring trends
in abundance is therefore important. Exemplar models are required, with robust, easily …

Theory predicts that founder effects have a primary role in determining metapopulation
genetic structure. However, ecological factors that affect extinction–colonization dynamics …
