Factors influencing spatial and temporal structure of frog assemblages at ponds in southeastern Brazil (2006, background): “…ecology and natural history in Brazil are scarce in relation to the amphibian richness in the country (776 species, SBH 2005, Sociedade Brasileira de Herpetologia, http://www.sbherpetologia.org.br, consulted on 6 September 2006), and are needed for conservation purposes (Eterovick et al. 2005).”
Integrating species life‐history traits and patterns of deforestation in amphibian conservation planning (2010, background): “For amphibians in particular, the Atlantic Forest harbours c. 300 endemic species, many of which have suffered population declines and local extinctions attributed primarily to habitat change (Heyer et al., 1988; Weygoldt, 1989; Eterovick et al., 2005; Becker et al., 2007).”
Unraveling the conservation status of Data Deficient species (2013, background): “…declines have been reported in several Data Deficient species (Lips et al., 2005), where habitat loss, diseases (e.g. chytridiomycosis), climate change, and pollution are identified as potential threat factors (Lips et al., 2005; Pounds et al., 2006; Eterovick et al., 2005; Verdade et al., 2012).”
Humidity levels drive reproductive modes and phylogenetic diversity of amphibians in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest (2012, background): “The majority of reported declines of amphibian species in Brazil come from the Atlantic Forest (Eterovick et al., 2005; Silvano & Segalla, 2005), and, according to IUCN (2009), 30% of the described amphibians in this biome are threatened with extinction (but for a different interpretation see Piment”
Amphibian Chytrid Fungus Broadly Distributed in the Brazilian Atlantic Rain Forest (2006, background): “To maximize the probability of finding infections, we selected species or areas with reported declines in Brazil (Eterovick et al., 2005), individuals appearing sick or dying upon collection, and tadpoles with mouthpart abnormalities (since these can be caused by chytridiomycosis; Fellers et al.,…”
