TL;DR: The results show that the combined effects of rainfall deficit and the breeding/non-breeding state of individuals during the past breeding season affect breeding probability during the following breeding opportunity, and indicate that toad survival appears to be negatively influenced by rainfall deficits.

TL;DR: The main hazard of the site is the severe arsenic contamination and the transfer of this carcinogen by leachate, surface runoff and probably by wind, and some studies on the effects of the contaminant inventory on the local vegetation revealed that ammonium nitrate elutable zinc is responsible for the spatial distribution of some tolerant plant species and not arsenic.

TL;DR: The findings demonstrate that survival depends on interactions between age, population and weather variation and suggest that studies predicting the impact of climate change on population dynamics should be taken with caution when the relationship between climate and demographic traits is established using only one population or few populations.

TL;DR: It is confirmed that increased environmental stochasticity can modify the resource allocation schedule between survival and reproductive effort and outputs and may lead to intraspecific variation along the slow-fast continuum of life history tactics.

TL;DR: It is shown that severe drought has a negative impact on fecundity and postmetamorphic survival at different ontogenetic stages and predicted that changes in drought frequency negatively influence the population growth rate, which is a warning sign for population persistence.
