Increased environmental drying risk for anurans globally under projected climate change
Nature Climate Change, Published online: 29 October 2024; doi:10.1038/s41558-024-02169-x
Climate change is exacerbating the severity of drought for life on land, especially for drying-sensitive species such as anurans (frogs and toads). Evaporative water loss rates for anurans are expected to double in areas with increased aridity. Increased drought severity combined with climate warming will likely reduce activity time for anurans owing to physiological limits.
