Bullfrogs (Rana catesbeiana) have been introduced in many continents causing impact on native species. We have studied the influence of bullfrogs on the native anuran fauna through the diet analysis of 291 specimens, ...

The replacement of native forests by high-density tree plantations affects the richness and composition of animal communities through the modification of the resource availability, hydrological regimes, nutrient cycles and ...

Amphibians and anurans in particular are declining globally from diverse and complex causes, with one of the most prevalent being alien species invasion. Alien woody invaders, such as the evergreen Ligustrum lucidum, are ...

Degradation and habitat loss of natural grasslands in Southern Brazil has a negative impact on native organisms, potentially including the composition of anuran helminth communities. Here, we characterized the richness, ...

Mediterranean biomes have been recognized as having high value due to their diversity; they are under threat due to anthropic pressures. Both freshwater fish and amphibians show high endemism and vulnerability to several ...

Invasive species are a leading cause of the current biodiversity decline, and hence examining the major traits favouring invasion is a key and long-standing goal of invasion biology. Despite the prominent role of ...

En Uruguay la infección causada por Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) había sido detectada en Lithobates catesbeianus de criaderos comerciales y en larvas silvestres de especies autóctonas, pero no había sido confirmada ...

This study aimed to test the influence of different riparian habitats on the structure of anuran communities in southeastern Brazil. Nine stream stretches were selected representing three different riparian habitat types: ...
