They also support human livelihoods via agriculture, ecotourism, and cultural knowledge — yet nearly 40% of species are threatened 🚨📉.
In this synthesis, we show how amphibians underpin ecosystem functioning (#NutrientCycling, #FoodWebs, #PestControl), act as some of our most sensitive early-warning systems for environmental change (#Bioindicators)...🐸🌍🦤ec🌱

A new study confirms #oldgrowth #forests (>75 years) are better for freshwater #invertebrates and #vertebrates than young forests.
Diverse #habitats in older trees support more unique and specialized aquatic species 🌍

We are asking: how do water levels 💦 and habitat structure 🌱 shape these invasion patterns?
Understanding this helps guide better wetland restoration and management.
🌍
We aim to understand how wetland hydrology 💧 and habitat structure 🪵🌾 influence the degree of invasion.

Supporting home gardens (especially with traditional/indigenous practices) is not just sentimental—it’s a practical conservation tool.
Protect home garden designs that maximize structural complexity: multi‑strata trees, mixed plantings, integrating animals.
Our recent work published in Loris shows that home gardens are key players in conserving biodiversity AND delivering climate, social, and economic benefits.
