Summary 1. Altered global climates in the 21st century pose serious threats for biological systems and practical actions are needed to mount a response species at risk. 2. We identify management from across world diverse disciplines that applicable minimizing loss of amphibian biodiversity under climate change. Actions were grouped three thematic areas intervention: (i) installation microclimate microhabitat refuges; (ii) enhancement restoration breeding sites; (iii) manipulation hydroperiod...
Protected areas are critical for the conservation of many threatened species. Despite this, protected acutely underfunded, which reduces their effectiveness significantly. Tourism is one mechanism to promote and fund in areas, but there few studies analyzing its tangible outcomes This study uses 415 IUCN critically endangered frog species evaluate contribution area tourism revenue conservation. Contributions were calculated each as proportion geographic range inside multiplied by revenues...
Abstract Environmental factors play an integral role, either directly or indirectly, in structuring faunal assemblages. Water chemistry, predation, hydroperiod and competition influence tadpole assemblages within waterbodies. We surveyed aquatic predators, habitat refugia, water height chemistry variables (pH, salinity turbidity) at 37 waterbodies over intensive 22‐day field survey to determine which environmental the relative abundance occupancy of two specialist anuran species naturally...
Abstract In an environment that is changing due to anthropogenic processes, managers responsible for conservation of threatened species need know environmental limits beyond which those are at risk extinction. We demonstrate estimation a using novel combination response modeling techniques. Our study was Litoria olongburensis (wallum sedgefrog), has biphasic lifecycle (aquatic larvae and terrestrial adult phases) with developing in naturally acidic wetlands coastal sandy lowlands (“wallum”)...
Habitat destruction is a key threatening process for amphibians. Modified or anthropogenic waterbodies can be used to compensate habitat loss, with several amphibian species utilising created modified waterbodies. We measured usage of anthropogenic/modified by adult and tadpole frog species, including threatened in coastal wallum eastern Australia. Nine road trenches/ditches, 8 artificial ‘lakes’, 6 golf course 13 natural were surveyed adults tadpoles during the summer/spring period...
Long Term Ecological Research Sites (GIVD ID AU-AU-001) is a system for long-term ecological research (LTER) designed to answer integrated multidisciplinary questions.PPBio was developed in Brazil with broad aim of establishing cost-effective and efficient network standardized LTER plots collect comparable information on biodiversity ecosystem processes around the world.Infrastructure includes permanent that follow contour lines (survey all measurements recorded horizontal plane) which...
