TL;DR: This study used standardized pathogen challenges to quantify amphibian survival and infection trajectories across 20 post-metamorphic North American species raised from eggs and incorporated trait-based models to investigate the predictive power of phylogenetic history, habitat use, and ecological and life history traits in explaining responses to Bd.
Projected climate impacts for the amphibians of the western hemisphere
TL;DR: Three approaches to map areas in the western hemisphere where amphibians are particularly likely to be affected by climate change form one potential assessment of the geographic vulnerability of amphibians to climate change and provide broad-scale guidance for directing conservation efforts.
The direct and indirect effects of temperature on a predator-prey relationship
TL;DR: Temperature strongly influenced anuran growth and predator success; mean tadpole mass over time was positively related to temperature, while the number of prey caught was negatively related, allowing them to avoid capture by notonectids.
The Effects of nitrite on behavior and metamorphosis in cascades frogs ( Rana cascadae)
Adolfo Marco,Andrew R. Blaustein +1 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that exposure to sublethal concentrations of nitrite in the water induces behavioral and morphologic changes in the Cascades frog (Rana cascadae), and development was retarded in tadpoles exposed to nitrite and they emerged at an earlier developmental stage.
