How do amphibian traits determine persistence in secondary forests?
Secondary forests and reforestation are often proposed as important safety nets for biodiversity as deforestation continues across the globe. However, can small, sensitive organisms like amphibians survive in these regenerating forests?

Amphibians are among the most threatened groups of vertebrates on the planet and have important roles in ecosystems. Secondary forests are the most common type of forest on the planet and will become more important in the future with change in land-use patterns and restoration efforts. Understanding how amphibians use and persist in secondary forests is thus a conservation priority.
