Amphibian declines: future directions

open access: yesDiversity and Distributions, 2003
Abstract.The amphibian decline problem is complex, and there is no easy solution. I highlight four major areas of future research that should increase our ability to detect declines, elucidate their underlying mechanisms, and advance our capacity to manage and conserve amphibian populations.
