Climate change blamed for frog and lizard extinctions
Previous studies have cited a fungus as the reason for population declines, but this study found declines of populations free of the fungus. Global warming seems to be the next fall guy in line, though the synopsis of the evidence doesn’t sound at all conclusive.
One statistic I hadn’t seen yet: 100 frog and reptile species have gone extinct in Central & South America since 1980.
