Identifying hotspots of faunal data deficiency to direct urgent research and monitoring

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Data deficiency is a substantial challenge for extinction risk assessments because incomplete data means we cannot accurately identify priority protected areas for conservation. Here, we use the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) distributions of amphibians, sharks and rays, fish, mammals, birds, and reptiles to identify ...

Melanism in salamanders: effects of insularity, sex and size on dorsal colouration in Salamandra salamandra

Journal of Zoology, EarlyView.
In this study we tested the effects of insularity on amphibian colouration using the fire salamander as a model system. Although increased melanism was not a consistent pattern across all islands, salamanders from one island exhibited higher proportions of black pigmentation than mainland populations, while insular populations overall showed reduced ...

How vulnerable are amphibians to climate change? A mechanistic perspective

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 6, Page 1550-1560, June 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Amphibians are frequently identified as highly vulnerable to climate change, yet the mechanisms driving this sensitivity remain uncertain. Approaches that explicitly link physiological mechanisms to environmental variation provide powerful tools for forecasting climate ...

ROBOT SALAMANDRA ANFIBIO CON LOCOMOCIÓN BIOINSPIRADA

Ingenius, 2016
<p>En este artículo se presenta el desarrollo de un robot anfibio con una dinámica de movimiento bioinspirada en la locomoción de la salamandra (Cryptobranchidae). El robot es teleoperado mediante una aplicación para dispositivos móviles (Smartphones, tablets, etc.).

Evaluating the empirical basis for threat attribution in the IUCN Red List

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract Understanding the impacts of different threats on species is key to successful conservation interventions and policies. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) assesses threats to species, and the organization's Red List of Threatened Species is a key conservation tool.

Diversidad de anfibios

, 2021
La distribución de la an biofauna santafesina (ranas, sapos, escuerzos y cecilias) sigue un patrón latitudinal, con una disminución de la riqueza de especies hacia el sur y una penetración de muchos taxones por medio del corredor biológico que representa el río Paraná y sus humedales (Ghirardi y López, 2017).

Calibration of the species threat abatement and restoration metric's threat abatement component in a Costa Rican landscape

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract Achieving global conservation policy goals requires the ability to set and measure progress toward science‐based targets for biodiversity. The species threat abatement and restoration (STAR) metric was developed to enable actors to set science‐based targets for species.

Biodiversity‐driven spatial conservation planning to delineate temporally stable regions

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract The accelerating loss of biodiversity underscores the critical need for effective conservation strategies, particularly in the face of climate change and anthropogenic pressures. We devised a conservation planning framework that adopts a temporal stacking approach to species distribution models and landscape connectivity analyses. These models
