Relation between Water Balance and Climatic Variables Associated with the Geographical Distribution of Anurans.
Amphibian species richness increases toward the equator, particularly in humid tropical forests. This relation between amphibian species richness and environmental water availability has been proposed to be a consequence of their high rates of evaporative water loss. In this way, traits that estimat...
