Nature World News: As amphibian crisis persists across the United States, scientists are working continuously to come up with an emergency response to reverse their decline. However, a new research has confirmed that there is no simple solution to stop or overturn amphibian declines. Writing in the journal Scientific Reports, researchers from the U.S. Geological Survey said there is no "smoking gun" to shut down the direct cause of their crumbling population all at once, as the new study revealed that reasons for...

'Fire frogs' and eel-like amphibians: The Field Museum's Brazilian fossil discovery

[NEWS] Two hundred and seventy-eight million years ago, the world was a different place. Not only were the landmasses merged into the supercontinent of Pangaea, but the land was home to ancient animals unlike anything alive today. But until now, very little information was available about what animals were present in the southern tropics. In a study published in Nature Communications, scientists from The Field Museum and colleagues from around the world describe several new amphibia…

Climate Change: Mountain Ponds Dried Up in the Heat Leaves Amphibians Starving for Water
2015-09-06 19:04:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World: Between less winter snowfall, increased evaporation and the lengthened period of drought occurring in the Pacific Northwest, amphibians are stressing as they lose their mountain pond habitats. "We've seen that the lack of winter snowpack and high summer temperatures have resulted in massive breeding failures and the death of some adult frogs," Wendy Palen, co-author and associate professor at Canada's Simon Fraser University, said in a news release. "More years like 2015 do not bode well for the...
