Climate change and amphibians (2005, background): “B hypothesis is controversial and has been the subject of a series of contentious critiques and rebuttals (Licht & Grant, 1997; Corn, 2000; Cummins, 2002; Kats et al., 2002; Blaustein et al., 2003b, 2004; Blaustein & Kats 2003; Licht, 2003).”
Direct and Indirect Effects of Climate Change on Amphibian Populations (2010, background): “Potentially, changes in ambient temperature on a global scale could disrupt the timing of breeding, periods of hibernation, and the ability to find food [26,35].”
Climate warming and the decline of amphibians and reptiles in Europe (2006, background): “Thus, one affect of global warming on amphibians might be to create a trend towards early breeding as average temperatures increase (e.g. Terhivuo, 1988; Beebee, 1995; Blaustein et al., 2001; Tryjanowski et al., 2003), although it remains unclear what impact this pattern might have on amphibian popu”
Pond research and management in Europe: “Small is Beautiful” (2012, background): “…Mediterranean temporary ponds and the need for urgent action to conserve these high-biodiversity habitats (Giudicelli & Thiéry, 1998; Quézel, 1998; Boix et al., 2001; Bagella et al., 2010) and, although a lot of work has been completed (e.g. LIFE projects in Mediterranean continental France,…”
Influences of species, latitudes and methodologies on estimates of phenological response to global warming (2007, methodology): “However, amphibians also provide one of the strongest opposing trends – delayed breeding by 5.3 days decade 1 for Bufo fowleri (Blaustein et al., 2001).”
Temperature‐driven shifts in a host‐parasite interaction drive nonlinear changes in disease risk (2012, background): “Additionally, because amphibian breeding is jointly constrained by precipitation and temperature (Duellman & Trueb, 1986), climate change may not always lead to earlier amphibian breeding (Blaustein et al., 2001; Gibbs & Breisch, 2001; Todd et al., 2011), particularly in systems where precipitation ”
The lunar cycle: a cue for amphibian reproductive phenology? (2009, background): “Of the anuran species studied here, Bufo boreas, B. bufo, Rana cascadae and R. temporaria are explosive breeders, where males engage in scramble competition for females, the sex ratio is male biased and breeding is highly synchronized (Beebee & Griffiths 2000; Blaustein et al. 2001).”
Declining amphibian populations: a global phenomenon in conservation biology (2001, background): “However, a recent study of a number of other temperate–zone anuran populations suggests that this sensitivity of breeding patterns to changes in temperature exhibits marked inter–specific differences, although sufficient detailed monitoring information necessary to confidently describe such patterns”
Phenological changes in intertidal con‐specific gastropods in response to climate warming (2011, background): “, 2002), changes in the number of broods a species has each year (Doi, 2008) or unexplained anomalies (Blaustein et al., 2001).”
Breeding phenology and larval distribution of amphibians in a Mediterranean pond network with unpredictable hydrology (2003, background): “…fragmentation of favourable terrestrial corridors and the unpredictability of rainfalls, coupled with amphibian responses of global climate change (Blaustein et al., 2001), a denser network of ponds should be requested for amphibians of the circum-Mediterranean relative to more temperate regions.”
From climate change predictions to actions – conserving vulnerable animal groups in hotspots at a regional scale (2010, background): “…in abundance; (b) fragmentation of suitable habitats; (c) changes in the timing of lifecycle events, such as hibernation, aestivation and breeding (Blaustein et al., 2001; Chadwick et al., 2006) and (d) the spread of agents of infectious diseases such as the Correspondence: S. B. Carvalho, CIBIO…”
Climate change and amphibian declines: is there a link? (2003, background): “In a study of the timing of egglaying of four species of North American amphibians , only one species at one site was breeding earlier than it did 18 years ago (Blaustein et al., 2001).”
