Evolution of research on global amphibian declines [PDF]
Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 1, February 2026.Abstract In the late 1980s, the scientific community became aware of severe, enigmatic amphibian population declines. These declines triggered a wave of research focused on quantifying their extent and identifying key drivers. We used text‐analysis techniques, including topic modeling and geoparsing, to examine the evolution of research focused on ...
