Harvestmen (Arachnida: Opiliones) as Overlooked Predators of Anurans in the Neotropics. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
This study reports novel field observations of harvestmen (Opiliones: Cranaidae) preying on live frogs across multiple Neotropical localities, documenting active capture and consumption of anurans by these arachnids. Our findings expand the known trophic role of harvestmen as opportunistic vertebrate predators and highlight the need to consider ...

Evolution of research on global amphibian declines. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
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 ...

Evolutionary and environmental determinants of heat tolerance and acclimation capacity in herpetofauna. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Exploring heat tolerance and acclimation capacity can provide an effective approach to evaluating species’ sensitivity to extremely high temperatures due to climate warming. Despite some work on amphibian and reptile thermophysiological adaptation, related questions remain. We reviewed the literature to provide a synthesis of worldwide data on
