The broad footprint of climate change from genes to biomes to people
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 …

Drought, deluge and declines: the impact of precipitation extremes on amphibians in a changing climate
SC Walls, WJ Barichivich, ME Brown - Biology, 2013 - mdpi.com
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 …

A global synthesis of animal phenological responses to climate change
Shifts in phenology are already resulting in disruptions to the timing of migration and
breeding, and asynchronies between interacting species,,,–. Recent syntheses have …

Direct and indirect effects of climate change on amphibian populations
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 …

Climate change effects on upland stream macroinvertebrates over a 25‐year period
Climate change effects on some ecosystems are still poorly known, particularly where they
interact with other climatic phenomena or stressors. We used data spanning 25 years (1981 …

Climate change correlates with rapid delays and advancements in reproductive timing in an amphibian community
Climate change has had a significant impact globally on the timing of ecological events such
as reproduction and migration in many species. Here, we examined the phenology of …

Trends in water quality and discharge confound long‐term warming effects on river macroinvertebrates
Climate‐change effects on rivers and streams might interact with other pressures, such as
pollution, but long‐term investigations are scarce. We assessed trends among …

Projected climate impacts for the amphibians of the Western Hemisphere
Given their physiological requirements, limited dispersal abilities, and hydrologically
sensitive habitats, amphibians are likely to be highly sensitive to future climatic changes. We …

From climate change predictions to actions–conserving vulnerable animal groups in hotspots at a regional scale
Current climate change is a major threat to biodiversity. Species unable to adapt or move
will face local or global extinction and this is more likely to happen to species with narrow …

The lunar cycle: a cue for amphibian reproductive phenology?
Lunar cycles give rise to cues that can be recognized by animals, including changes in light
intensity, geomagnetism and gravity. Many environmental variables affect reproductive …
