Dealing with Multiple Stressors: Amphibian Conservation Biology

Join , professor and director of Graduate Studies, and Ph.D. candidate Aidan O’Brien, both from the Conservation Ecology Lab at the University of Miami, for an engaging presentation on the complex stressors that are contributing to the global decline of amphibians. The Santa Cruz long-toed salamander, a federally endangered species in California, is threatened by habitat loss, human activity, and rising sea levels. Despite federal protection, gaps in ecological knowledge persist. The Conservation Lab’s research focuses on larval habitats and post-metamorphic behavior, offering critical insights for effective conservation efforts.
