Climate change is affecting every ecosystem on Earth. Though climate change is global in
scope, literature reviews on the biotic impacts of climate change have focused on temperate�…

The role of global climate change in the decline of biodiversity and the emergence of
infectious diseases remains controversial, and the effect of climatic variability, in particular�…

For over 350 million years, thousands of species of amphibians have lived on earth, but
since the 1990s they have been disappearing at an alarming rate, in many cases quite�…

The Anthropocene is characterized by a widespread biodiversity crisis that is rivaling
prehistoric mass extinctions. Amphibians are the most threatened class of vertebrates. In�…

Amphibians are a bellwether for environmental degradation, even in natural ecosystems

Before the end of this century, tropical rainforests will be subject to climatic conditions that
have not existed anywhere on Earth for millions of years. These forests are the most species�…

Patterns in functional diversity of organisms at large spatial scales can provide insight into
possible responses to future climate change, but it remains a challenge to link large‐scale�…

Considerable progress has been made in understanding the responses of amphibians to
climate change, with successful research carried out on climate change‐associated shifts in�…

Thermal trait variation is of fundamental importance to forecasting the impacts of
environmental change on lizard diversity. Here, we review the literature for patterns of�…
