ABSTRACT
Amphibians are among the most vulnerable vertebrate groups, serving as ecological indicators due to their permeable skin and complex life cycles. Global climate change—including rising temperatures, irregular precipitation, and extreme weather events—has accelerated amphibian population declines. This research synthesizes worldwide studies on amphibian physiology, reproduction, distribution, and mortality under changing climate conditions. A meta-analysis of 120 studies reveals that tropical montane species experience the highest declines, while temperate species are affected by altered phenology and habitat degradation. Understanding these impacts is critical for developing effective conservation strategies, mitigating biodiversity loss, and maintaining ecosystem balance.
