A bibliometric-mapping approach to identifying patterns and trends in amphibian decline research

Acta Herpetologica, 2020
Amphibian decline is one of the most severe and well-documented examples of immediacy of the ongoing biodiversity crisis. In this study we analyze the scientific literature on amphibian declines with a view to identifying and analyzing emerging patterns ...
