Pond-breeding amphibians depend on several habitats and scales throughout their complex life cycle. For pond-breeding amphibians inhabiting seasonal dry forests, landscape is composed of a set of scarce and ephemeral ...

The goal of this work was to study the species composition, the use of breeding sites, and the seasonal patterns of breeding activity of the anuran fauna from Parque Estadual Carlos Botelho - Nucleo Sete Barras, state of ...

Amphibians are among the most threatened vertebrates in the world and this is also true for those inhabiting the Atlantic Forest hotspot, living in ecosystems that are highly degraded and threatened by anthropogenic ...

Wildlife disease dynamics are strongly influenced by the structure of host communities and their symbiotic microbiota. Conspicuous amphibian declines associated with the waterborne fungal pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis ...

The biodiversity values of temporary pools in tropical ecosystems are poorly understood. Such wetlands are often threatened by agriculture. Constructed pools provide a means to mitigate for loss of natural pools but design ...

The Sierras Pampeanas Centrales, one of the most important extra-Andean mountain systems of Argentina, harbour endemic and threatened amphibian species. In the past century, two alien predatory fish species (brook trout ...

Events of mass malformations in amphibian populations that have exceeded historical records have been reported over the past thirty years. Many of these events have been linked to human activities that occurred near amphibian ...
