How do frogs and toads manage to cross oceans without swimming and appear on isolated islands? A study involving over 3,800 islands reveals rare events, "invisible journeys," and the secret role of climate and distance from the continent.

How do frogs and toads manage to cross oceans without swimming and appear on isolated islands? A study involving over 3,800 islands reveals rare events, “invisible journeys,” and the secret role of climate and distance from the continent.

Research supported by FAPESP explains why distance from the continent and climate stability shape the presence of amphibians on marine islands A scientifically significant investigation was recently published, drawing international attention to island biodiversity. Furthermore, the study analyzed 3,812 marine islands and revealed unprecedented patterns regarding the presence of toads, frogs […]
