Isolated frogs in a crowded world: Effects of human-caused habitat loss on frog heterozygosity and fluctuating asymmetry

2016-03-01

Abstract excerpt

It is important to develop research methods that will detect deterioration in population health before severe declines occur. Amphibian population declines are widespread; the main causes are anthropogenic and include habitat fragmentation due to agriculture, mining, fires, and urban development. Brazil is the richest country in species of amphibians, and the Brazilian regions with the greatest amphibian diversity...
