Jan 31, 2025 · An international survey of frogs and toads has revealed that global warming and drought are more likely to affect the animals in the Amazon and Atlantic Rainforests. The …

As global temperatures shift habitats northward or higher in elevation, non-native species often move in with little competition. These invaders can disrupt the food web, outcompete native …

Here, we show that future climate change is expected to significantly modify not only species richness, but also phylogenetic diversity and phylogenetic endemism of Neotropical frogs.

Therefore, some frogs are changing the way they behave in response to changes from the climate crisis. American toads and Wood frogs begin their mating calls about 19 days earlier than they …

Nov 8, 2024 · A 2022 paper published in Scientific Data reported that scientists still lack heat tolerance data for 93 percent of known amphibian species. “We focused on amphibians …

Oct 21, 2024 · Here, we mapped global areas where anurans will face increasing water limitations, analysed ecotype sensitivity to water loss and modelled behavioural activity …

For the last two years, DuBose has been measuring the intrinsic sensitivity of species to climate change -- a key determinant of extinction vulnerability -- in 90 species of anurans, commonly...

These ‘direct-developing’ species are under serious threat from global warming, which acts to raise the cloud levels. As the clouds rise, the frogs at the newly-exposed lower elevations lose …

Nov 22, 2025 · Frogs, salamanders, and legless caecilians are at risk of disappearing forever, with amphibians being the most at-risk species. The study shows that increased aridity of …

Apr 11, 2025 · Frogs in the country’s northern parts—including Darwin, Cairns, and the Kimberley—are at greater risk from rising temperatures. Meanwhile, populations in the …
