The effects of amphibian population declines on the structure and function of Neotropical stream ecosystems (2006, background): “Climate change has also been implicated in declines of some neotropical amphibians (Pounds et al. 1999; Burrowes et al. 2004).”
Amphibian Chytrid Fungus Broadly Distributed in the Brazilian Atlantic Rain Forest (2006, methodology): “Climate anomalies have been proposed as triggers of die-offs by providing opportunities for fatal chytrid outbreaks (Burrowes et al., 2004; Pounds and Puschendorf, 2004; McCallum, 2005; Pounds et al., 2006).”

Variable response of anuran calling activity to daily precipitation and temperature: implications for climate change (2013, background): “Although previous long-term studies relating climate variation to frog calling activity (e.g., Stewart 1995, Burrowes et al. 2004, Prado et al. 2005) have helped to meet the urgent need of assessing the status of frog populations, our approach can help understand the interactions between climate…”
Large‐scale seasonal variation in the prevalence and severity of chytridiomycosis (2006, background): “The last known individuals of Taudactylus acutirostris and Eleutherodactylus karlschmidti were found infected with B. dendrobatidis (Daszak, Cunningham & Hyatt, 2003; Burrowes, Joglar & Green, 2004 ), highlighting the potentially devastating effects that chytridiomycosis may have on amphibian popul”

Catastrophic Population Declines and Extinctions in Neotropical Harlequin Frogs (Bufonidae: Atelopus) 1 (2005, background): “To date, most reports of declines in the Neotropics have focused on individual localities or individual species (Heyer et al. 1988; La Marca & Reinthaler 1991; Pounds et al. 1997; Lips 1998, 1999; McCranie & Wilson 2002; Ron et al. 2003; Burrowes et al. 2004; Lips et al. 2004).”
Widespread historical presence of Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis in African pipid frogs (2010, background): “Although amphibian chytridiomycosis was first described in 1998, retrospective studies indicate that it had emerged as a global threat to amphibians by at least the 1970s (Burrowes et al., 2004; Skerratt et al., 2007).”
Amphibian Declines in Brazil: An Overview 1 (2005, background): “Burrowes et al. (2004) also reported the disappearance of three and the decline of six Eleutherodactylus species in Puerto Rico, supposedly caused by climate change (severe droughts) and disease interaction.”

Climate-driven declines in arthropod abundance restructure a rainforest food web (2018, background): “The ongoing losses of anuran biodiversity on Puerto Rico and other West Indian islands (66, 67) are part of a global amphibian decline that has continued largely unabated since at least the 1970s (68–72).”
