Behavior is one of the major architects of evolution: by behaviorally modifying how they
interact with their environments, organisms can influence natural selection, amplifying it in …

Simple Summary Programs to conserve biphasic amphibians may fail if threats at different
life stages are not addressed. Anthropogenic threats, such as altered hydroperiods and …

The effects of climate change are often body size dependent. One contributing factor could
be size-dependent thermal tolerance (SDTT), the propensity for heat and cold tolerance to …

Rising temperatures represent a significant threat to the survival of ectothermic animals. As
such, upper thermal limits represent an important trait to assess the vulnerability of …

Bumble bees are key pollinators with some species reared in captivity at a commercial
scale, but with significant evidence of population declines and with alarming predictions of …

In the approximately 30 years since the recognition of the crisis of global amphibian
declines, much has been learned about the likely causes. Among the leading causes are …

Functional diversity has been defined as the value, range, distribution, and relative
abundance of the functional traits of individuals that belong to an ecosystem. Thus, the …

Environmental challenges early in development can result in complex phenotypic trade-offs
and long-term effects on individual physiology, performance and behavior, with implications …

Amphibians suffer from large‐scale population declines globally, and emerging infectious
diseases contribute heavily to these declines. Amphibian Perkinsea (Pr) is a worldwide …

Anthropogenic climate change is projected to become a major driver of biodiversity loss,
destabilizing the ecosystems on which human society depends. As the planet rapidly warms …
