discussion following the first World Congress of Herpetology, are now being realized after …

Changing climate will impact species' ranges only when environmental variability directly
impacts the demography of local populations. However, measurement of demographic …

Extinction rates are predicted to rise exponentially under climate warming, but many of these
predictions ignore physiological and behavioral plasticity that might buffer species from …

Habitat loss and fragmentation are among the biggest threats to amphibian populations and
anthropogenic climate change may exacerbate these. The response of Iran's amphibians to …

The amphibian chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) is a skin pathogen that
