Animal Conservation, EarlyView.To help ensure the growth and persistence of frog populations, we quantified changes in frog occurrence as a function of concurrent changes in land cover in the surrounding landscape of eight marsh‐breeding frog species, or groups of species. We used data from the Great Lakes Marsh Monitoring Program delivered by Birds Canada at 377 sites across four ...

Climate change and mosquito-borne disease.
Environmental Health Perspectives, 2001 Global atmospheric temperatures are presently in a warming phase that began 250--300 years ago. Speculations on the potential impact of continued warming on human health often focus on mosquito-borne diseases. Elementary models suggest that higher global temperatures will enhance their transmission rates and extend their geographic ranges. However, the
