Climate change threatens micro-endemic amphibians of an important South American high-altitude center of endemism
(Brill Academic Publishers, 2020-06-12)

The Brazilian Ministry of the Environment (Ministe´ rio Do Meio Ambiente, MMA) proposed defining priority areas for Brazilian biodiversity conservation in 2007, but to date, no definitions of priority areas for amphibian ...
Biogeography of Chilean herpetofauna: Distributional patterns of species richness and endemism
(2009)
We analyze the geographic distribution pattern of Chilean amphibian and reptile species between 18°20′S (Arica) to 56°S (Magellanic Area) by the identification of centers of higher richness and endemism and we infer the ...
