Abstract In the Brazilian Atlantic Rainforest (AF), amphibians (625 species) face habitat
degradation leading to stressful thermal conditions that constrain animal activity (eg …

Biological and methodological factors influence the upper thermal limits (UTL) of ectothermic
animals, but most factors have been studied independently. Few studies have integrated …

Ectotherms are vulnerable to climate change, given their dependence on temperature, and
amphibians are particularly interesting because of their complex life cycle. Tadpoles may …

Most of the literature on temperature–organism interactions rely on mean temperature
(mostly air), disregarding the real complexity of this variable. There is a growing consensus …

Abstract Changes in environmental temperature may induce variations in thermal tolerance
and sensitivity in ectotherm organisms. These variations generate plastic responses that can …

Abstract The Southern Atlantic rainforest is continuously suffering from wood extraction
activity, which results in the increase of clearings within the forest. Although the direct …

Simple Summary Thermal tolerance and preferred temperature experimental procedures
were conducted on the western and eastern subspecies of critically endangered Montseny …

In the present study we used larval amphibians (Rhinella jimi) as prey, and beetle larvae
(Hydrophilus sp.) as predator to assess if increased water temperature influences predator …

Los bosques templados de Ixtlán de Juárez, Oaxaca, han estado sujetos a manejo forestal
por más de 50 años; el efecto que dicha modificación tiene en los grupos de anfibios y …

Thermoregulation in highland tropical environments imposes physiological challenges for
reptiles. The interaction between individual thermal requirements with external thermal …
