Reporting guidelines for terrestrial respirometry: Building openness, transparency of metabolic rate and evaporative water loss data Open
Respirometry is an important tool for understanding whole-animal energy and water balance in relation to the environment. Consequently, the growing number of studies using respirometry over the last decade warrants reliable reporting and d…

Global exposure risk of frogs to increasing environmental dryness Open
Species exposed to prolonged drying are at risk of population declines or extinctions. A key missing element for assessments of climate change risk is the sensitivity of species to water loss and their microhabitat preference, or ecotype, …

Beyond Janzen's Hypothesis: How Amphibians That Climb Tropical Mountains Respond to Climate Variation Open
Synopsis Janzen's hypothesis (JH) posits that low thermal variation selects for narrow physiological tolerances, and thus small species distributional ranges and high species turnover along tropical elevational gradients. Although this hyp…

Empirical estimation of skin resistance to water loss in amphibians: agar evaluation as a non-resistance model to evaporation Open
Total resistance (rt) to evaporative water loss (EWL) in amphibians is given by the sum of the boundary layer (rb) and the skin resistance (rs). Thus, rs can be determined if the rb component is defined (rs=rt−rb). The use of agar models h…

Biophysical Modeling of Water Economy Can Explain Geographic Gradient of Body Size in Anurans Open
Geographical gradients of body size express climate-driven constraints on animals, but whether they exist and what causes them in ectotherms remains contentious. For amphibians, the water conservation hypothesis posits that larger bodies r…

Ecophysiology of Amphibians: Information for Best Mechanistic Models Open
Several amphibian lineages epitomize the faunal biodiversity crises, with numerous reports of population declines and extinctions worldwide. Predicting how such lineages will cope with environmental changes is an urgent challenge for biolo…

<span>ATLANTIC AMPHIBIANS</span>: a data set of amphibian communities from the Atlantic Forests of South America Open
Amphibians are among the most threatened vertebrates in the world and this is also true for those inhabiting the Atlantic Forest hotspot, living in ecosystems that are highly degraded and threatened by anthropogenic activities. We present …

Not Good, but Not All Bad: Dehydration Effects on Body Fluids, Organ Masses, and Water Flux through the Skin of<i>Rhinella schneideri</i>(Amphibia, Bufonidae) Open
Because of their permeable skin, terrestrial amphibians are constantly challenged by the potential risk of dehydration. However, some of the physiological consequences associated with dehydration may affect aspects that are themselves rele…
