A study from Brazil has been published in the journal Ecography, focusing on the biodiversity of anuran amphibians, which include toads and frogs, on marine islands.

The research identifies key factors that influence amphibian species richness, bridging gaps between two previously opposing theories regarding biodiversity.

These findings may enhance our understanding of how island ecosystems function and could inform conservation efforts aimed at protecting amphibian populations.
