Global climate change drives variations in species distribution patterns and affects
biodiversity, potentially increasing the risk of species extinction. Investigating the potential�…

Tropical forest biodiversity is potentially at high risk from climate change, but most species
reside within or below the canopy, where they are buffered from extreme temperatures�…

Long-term ecological monitoring is crucial to understanding the complex dynamics of
ecosystems, communities, and populations. Despite this, monitoring data are lacking or rare�…

Sixteen years ago, Colwell et al.(2008: Global warming, elevational range shifts, and
lowland biotic attrition in the wet tropics. Science, 322, 258) affirmed predictions that climate�…

The survival of ectotherms worldwide is threatened by climate change. Whether increasing
temperatures increase the vulnerability of ectotherms inhabiting temperate plateau areas�…

Global herpetofauna faces threats by habitat loss and degradation, with amphibian and
reptile species maintenance in human-modified landscapes not only depending on forest�…

Amphibian habitat preferences have ecological, evolutionary, and conservation implications,
but information on habitat use is scarce for most species, especially at the microhabitat level�…

Amphibians are small cold blooded tetra pods containing frogs, toads, caecilians and
salamanders. There are over 8,500 species of amphibians known all over the world and�…

Tropical ectotherms are thought to be especially vulnerable to climate change because they
have evolved in temporally stable thermal environments and therefore have decreased�…

Madagascar is home of many biodiversity and most of them are endemic to the island.
Herpetofauna combining two classes of vertebrates such as amphibians and reptiles; this�…
