The amphibian decline crisis: a watershed for conservation biology?
TJC Beebee, RA Griffiths - Biological conservation, 2005 - Elsevier
Amphibians have declined dramatically in many areas of the world. These declines seem to
have worsened over the past 25 years and amphibians are now more threatened than either …

Complexity in conservation: lessons from the global decline of amphibian populations
AR Blaustein, JM Kiesecker - Ecology letters, 2002 - Wiley Online Library
As part of an overall “biodiversity crisis” many amphibian populations are in decline
throughout the world. Numerous causes have been invoked to explain these declines …

The interplay of past diversification and evolutionary isolation with present imperilment across the amphibian tree of life
Human activities continue to erode the tree of life, requiring us to prioritize research and
conservation. Amphibians represent key victims and bellwethers of global change, and the …
