Amphibian populations have exhibited declines in North America and many other areas around the world. Several factors are attributable to population declines and localized extinctions. Among these factors are disease and anthropogenic stressors such as habitat loss and degradation, non-native predators, acid precipitation, altered hydrology and hydroperiod, ultraviolet radiation, and chemical contaminants (Collins and Storfer 2003).

More DescriptionAmphibian populations have exhibited declines in North America and many other areas around the world. Several factors are attributable to population declines and localized extinctions. Among these factors are disease and anthropogenic stressors such as habitat loss and degradation, non-native predators, acid precipitation, altered hydrology and hydroperiod, ultraviolet radiation, and chemical contaminants (Collins and Storfer 2003). Although diseases and parasites naturally occur in amphibian populations, the effects of these influences can be exacerbated when combined with other anthropogenic stressors.
