Response to thermal and hydric regimes point to differential inter- and intraspecific vulnerability of tropical amphibians to climate warming.

Abstract excerpt

In Puerto Rico, an island threatened by climate warming, only one of two species of frogs that share part of their distribution has undergone a recent range contraction to higher elevations. We questioned if differences in their physiological response to temperature and dehydration might explain this distributional change. We studied a lowland and a highland population of Eleutherodactylus coqui, a widespread...
