▪ Abstract Declines and losses of amphibian populations are a global problem with complex
local causes. These may include ultraviolet radiation, predation, habitat modification …

Certain marine algae produce potent toxins that impact human health through the

A number of studies indicate that tropical arthropods should be particularly vulnerable to
climate warming. If these predictions are realized, climate warming may have a more …

We analysed the relationships between species richness, island area, and habitat diversity
for birds, bats, butterflies, and reptiles and amphibians on 19 islands in the Lesser Antilles …

For over 350 million years, thousands of species of amphibians have lived on earth, but
since the 1990s they have been disappearing at an alarming rate, in many cases quite …

Although dramatic amphibian population declines have been reported worldwide, our

We monitored 11 populations of eight species of Eleutherodactylus in Puerto Rico from 1989
through 2001. We determined relative abundance of active frogs along transects established …

Amphibian populations are in decline throughout Latin America; all families of frogs have
experienced declines, but the species associated with aquatic habitats in upland areas have …

The loss of global amphibian biodiversity has been well documented in recent years. The
greatest information from Latin America came from countries such as Costa Rica, Panama …
