## Facts

| Field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Description | This cluster of papers focuses on the global declines and extinctions of amphibian species, with a particular emphasis on the impact of chytridiomycosis, climate change, habitat fragmentation, and biodiversity loss. The papers cover topics such as pathogen impact, phylogenetic analysis, population dynamics, and conservation biology in the context of amphibian declines. |
