Climate variability poses a threat to cold blooded animals
Climate change a threat to ectotherms
study has found that cold blooded #animals (#ectotherms) are unable to adjust physiologically to daily temperature fluctuations, a limitation that could leave them increasingly vulnerable as climate change drives even greater temperature variability.
(Didn't we know that already?)

Research from Murdoch University has found that cold blooded animals (ectotherms) aren't able to physiologically adjust to daily temperature fluctuations as previously assumed. This could leave them vulnerable to the impacts of climate change.
Why did the amphibian cross the road?
Dunno, but you can help them not get squished at Hidden Valley Nature Center!

On any given night between March 27 and May 15, we could experience a Big Night , and you can join us! Maine Big Night (MBN) is a nonprofit community science project established to confront the issue of amphibians becoming roadkill en masse. Amphibians, already facing stronger threats than many o
In spring 2025, 215 volunteers surveyed more than 100 road sites across Tompkins County, documenting 7,000 amphibians. Approximately 3,000 of those had been killed.

March 20 is World Frog Day. Frogs and toads have inhabited Earth for hundreds of millions of years, but 40% of amphibians species are now at risk of extinction, according to the latest conservation assessments. Every year, roughly 150 new amphibian species are described. But many are immediately listed as threatened or endangered due to [โฆ]
