Amphibian
populations are declining across
the world at an alarming rate
because of habitat loss,
overexploitation, the
introduction of exotic species, infectious diseases,
environmental pollution, and
climate change. To date there
are limited data on
the impact of climate change on
Nepalese amphibian populations.
The global climate change might
have direct and indirect effects
on worldwide amphibian declines.
It might affect the breeding phenology of amphibians.
Amphibians might respond
differently towards changing
climate; some populations
may breed earlier but not all
species may do so.
Therefore, we aim
to analyze patterns of amphibian
species composition and their response
to global climate change in
the Nepalese Himalaya.
