New Lit Alert: Physiological and behavioral variation by urbanization and climate in an urban-tolerant toad

Physiological and behavioral variation by urbanization and climate in an urban-tolerant toad Dillon J. Monroe, Veronika Bókony & Caitlin R. Gabor Abstract The distribution of a species is best understood by examining the organism-environment interaction. Climate and anthropogenic habitat degradation, including urbanization, are salient features of the environment that can limit species distributions, especially for... Continue Reading →

These disturbances can affect the physiological stress response of fishes by increasing or dysregulating their primary stress hormone, cortisol, and potentially altering their reproductive allocation. Arseniy Kolonin, a master’s student at Texas State... Continue Reading →
