Climate change is determining a generalized phenological advancement, and amphibians
are among the taxa showing the strongest phenological responsiveness to warming …

Key global indicators of biodiversity decline, such as the IUCN Red List Index and the Living
Planet Index, have relatively long assessment intervals. This means they, due to their …

Reaching developmental milestones younger and at larger sizes is commonly claimed to
reflect increased fitness. However, the amount of fitness gained from being larger and …

One widely documented phenological response to climate change is the earlier occurrence
of spring‐breeding events. While such climate change‐driven shifts in phenology are …

Many species that inhabit seasonally ponded wetlands also rely on surrounding upland
habitats and nearby aquatic ecosystems for resources to support life stages and to maintain …

Density dependent carry-over effects from one life history stage to another can affect the
dynamics of populations. Here we study such carry-over effects from the tadpole to the …

Climate change is increasing variability in precipitation patterns in many parts of the globe.
Unpredictable changes in water availability can be particularly challenging for organisms …

Assessing carryover effects from the aquatic to the terrestrial stage of pond-breeding
amphibians is critical as temperature and hydrologic regimes of temporary ponds continue …

The loss of genetic diversity, due to exposure to chemical contamination (genetic erosion), is
a major threat to population viability. Genetic erosion is the loss of genetic variation: the loss …

Non-consumptive effects (NCEs) of predators on prey can be as strong as consumptive
effects (CEs) and may be driven by numerous mechanisms, including predator …
