Inverse density dependence and the Allee effect
The Allee effect describes a scenario in which populations at low numbers are affected by a
positive relationship between population growth rate and density, which increases their …

Amphibian fungal panzootic causes catastrophic and ongoing loss of biodiversity
Anthropogenic trade and development have broken down dispersal barriers, facilitating the
spread of diseases that threaten Earth's biodiversity. We present a global, quantitative …

Amphibian declines: judging stability, persistence, and susceptibility of populations to local and global extinctions
Extinctions are normal biological phenomena. Both mass extinctions in geological time and
local extinctions in ecological time are well documented, but rates of extinction have …

The amphibian decline crisis: a watershed for conservation biology?
TJC Beebee, RA Griffiths - Biological conservation, 2005 - Elsevier
Amphibians have declined dramatically in many areas of the world. These declines seem to
have worsened over the past 25 years and amphibians are now more threatened than either …
