An integrated physiological perspective on anthropogenic stressors in the Gulf coast toad (Incilius nebulifer)

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Anthropogenic environmental change, including climate change and urbanization, results in warmer temperatures in both terrestrial and aquatic habitats and changes in community assemblages including invasive species introductions, among many other ...

Environmental detection of the amphibian chytrid fungus in water bodies is associated with host infection along a deforestation gradient

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 7, July 2026.
Linking environmental pathogen detection with host infection patterns can improve surveillance of diseases involving environmental transmission, particularly where direct host sampling is logistically challenging. This approach enables the identification of areas of elevated transmission risk and supports targeted monitoring and management under ...

Beyond Habitat: How Anuran Skin Texture Shapes Plant Dispersal in Neotropical Wetlands

Freshwater Biology, Volume 71, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Dispersal is a key process structuring wetland plant communities, yet epizoochory by amphibians remains a little‐known mechanism of passive plant dispersal. This study evaluated the potential role of Neotropical anurans as vectors of plant propagules through external adhesion in coastal wetlands.

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 ...

The advertisement call of the toad Rhinella humboldti (Bufonidae)

Zootaxa, 2013
Despite important advances in understanding phylogenetic relationships among anurans (Frost et al. 2006; Pyron & Wiens, 2011), many uncertainties persist regarding phylogenetic affinities and taxonomic limits. The male advertisement call offers numerous opportunities to find diagnostic characters and is therefore useful for anuran species ...

Environmental DNA Reveals Major Shifts in Fish and Amphibian Diversity and Distribution in Alpine Lentic Ecosystems of Southwest China, Supporting Improved Conservation and Management

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Alpine lentic ecosystems are naturally fish‐poor or fish‐free, yet they have received numerous non‐native fish introductions globally. Studies have demonstrated that alien fish have negative impacts on aquatic organisms, particularly amphibians, which are highly susceptible to habitat alterations.

Skin Resistance to Dehydration: A Theory‐Informed Trait Gradient in Anurans

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 35, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Anurans' sensitivity to hydric stress has driven adaptive changes in multiple traits, potentially displaying geographical clines, as is the case with body size. A longstanding body of research suggests that skin resistance to water loss may also vary geographically in response to water loss.
