Journal ArticleDOI
Can amphibians take the heat? Vulnerability to climate warming in subtropical and temperate larval amphibian communities
Helder Duarte,Miguel Tejedo,Marco Katzenberger,Federico Marangoni,Diego Baldo,Juan F. Beltrán,Dardo Andrea Marti,Alex Richter-Boix,Alejandro Gonzalez-Voyer +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors predict the biodiversity impacts of global warming and where and with what magnitude these impacts will be encountered, and the amphibians are currently the most threatened vertebrates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Contrasting effects of environmental factors during larval stage on morphological plasticity in post-metamorphic frogs
Miguel Tejedo,Federico Marangoni,Cino Pertoldi,Alex Richter-Boix,Anssi Laurila,Germán Orizaola,Alfredo G. Nicieza,David Álvarez,Ivan Gomez-Mestre +8 more
TL;DR: Environmental trends predicted by global warming projections, such as increasing pond temperature and accelerating pond desiccation, will significantly influence hind leg and head morphology in metamorphic frogs, which may affect performance and, ultimately, fitness.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evolution and plasticity of anuran larval development in response to desiccation. A comparative analysis
TL;DR: The results suggest that plastic responses in species breeding in ephemeral ponds are constrained by a general trade-off between development and growth rates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Are protected areas truly protected? The impact of road traffic on vertebrate fauna
Núria Garriga,Xavier Santos,Xavier Santos,Albert Montori,Alex Richter-Boix,Marc Franch,Gustavo A. Llorente +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the number of roadkills of vertebrates in an extensive region in the northeastern Iberian Peninsula and found that amphibians and reptiles killed the highest numbers of road-kills whereas reptiles, birds and mammals had similar rates.
Journal Article
A comparative analysis of the adaptive developmental plasticity hypothesis in six Mediterranean anuran species along a pond permanency gradient
TL;DR: The hypothesis that interspecific differences in developmental phenotypic plasticity are adaptive and are related to ecological breadth and unpredictability is supported.
