Climate change (CC) and land‐use/cover change (LUCC) are threatening species worldwide, with amphibians and reptiles being particularly vulnerable. In Cilento, a highly biodiverse Mediterranean area in the southern Appenine protected by a National Park and 30 Natura 2000 Network sites, 11 amphibians and 16 reptiles could disappear in the future ...

Hide and Seek: Species Detectability in a Biodiversity Hotspot Increased by Environmental DNA
We demonstrated through Bayesian modeling that eDNA metabarcoding offers equivalent or higher detectability than traditional field inventory techniques for anuran species in a biodiversity hotspot. The number of recorded species was also higher in seven out of ten sampled streams.

An experimental test of the importance of isolated trees for frog diversity in tropical landscapes
We performed the first experimental test of the importance of isolated trees for biodiversity. Our results provide evidence that isolated trees contribute to increasing total species richness and community abundance of anurans in artificial ponds, making local communities more similar to those found in ponds near forest edges.
