    Abstract:
    I examined two amphibian communities to assess factors that may impact amphibian biodiversity. The results suggest that the potential factors which influence the maintenance of amphibian biodiversity are multi-faceted and thus, attempts to understand these factors must reflect these complexities. I investigated factors that influenced the susceptibility of western toad...

    The earth is undergoing a “biodiversity crisis” characterized by loss of populations, species, genetic diversity, and ecosystem services. Part of this crisis consists of population declines, extinctions, and increased incidence of deformities in amphibians. It is unknown whether deformities contribute to these declines. Many cases of population declines in amphibians...
