Random Frogs: using future climate and land-use scenarios to predict amphibian distribution change in the Upper Missouri River Basin
Abstract
Climate change and anthropogenic stressors have contributed to rapid declines in biodiversity worldwide, particularly for amphibians. Amphibians play important ecological roles, yet little is known about how distribution hotspots may change or how the environmental factors influence distribution patterns in the North American Great Plains.
