A further five species are at moderate–high risk (30–50% chance), primarily due to climate change. Fourteen of the 26 frog species are endemic to Queensland, with many species restricted to small geographic ranges that are susceptible to stochastic events (e.g. a severe heatwave or a large bushfire). Experts were more likely to rate extinction probability higher for poorly known species (those with <10 experts), while non-experts were more likely to rate extinction probability higher for better-known species. However, scores converged following discussion, indicating that there was greater consensus in the estimates of extinction probability. Increased resourcing and management intervention are urgently needed to avert future extinctions of Australia’s frogs. Key priorities include developing and supporting captive management and establishing or extending in-situ population refuges to alleviate the impacts of disease and climate change.]]> Wed 05 Jul 2023 16:03:34 AEST ]]> An invasive pathogen drives directional niche contractions in amphibians https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:52368 Tue 10 Oct 2023 14:31:37 AEDT ]]> Oviposition and egg mass morphology in barred frogs (Anura: Myobatrachidae: Mixophyes Günther, 1864), its phylogenetic significance and implications for conservation management https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:26550 Thu 19 Aug 2021 10:57:32 AEST ]]>
