Environmental quality and evolutionary potential: lessons from wild populations
An essential requirement to determine a population's potential for evolutionary change is to
quantify the amount of genetic variability expressed for traits under selection. Early …

Occurrence of amphibians in saline habitats: a review and evolutionary perspective
GR Hopkins, ED Brodie Jr - Herpetological Monographs, 2015 - meridian.allenpress.com
Amphibians are well known as osmotically sensitive organisms due to their highly
permeable skin and eggs and, as such, biologists have mostly discounted their presence in …
