Micro (nano) plastics as an emerging risk factor to the health of amphibian: A scientometric and systematic review
Although the toxicity of microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs) is recognized at different
trophic levels, our know-how about their effects on amphibians is limited. Thus, we present …

A meta‐analysis reveals temperature, dose, life stage, and taxonomy influence host susceptibility to a fungal parasite
Complex ecological relationships, such as host–parasite interactions, are often modeled
with laboratory experiments. However, some experimental laboratory conditions, such as …

Complex organisms must deal with complex threats: how does amphibian conservation deal with biphasic life cycles?
Simple Summary Programs to conserve biphasic amphibians may fail if threats at different
life stages are not addressed. Anthropogenic threats, such as altered hydroperiods and …
