Some direct transformations include change in habitat, disease, and reproduction.]]> 2018-10-17 16:11:19 UTC https://padlet.com/363960/23zq1d3f62xd/wish/293945076 363960 https://padlet.com/363960/23zq1d3f62xd/wish/296225489 Animals have specific living conditions in their habitat, if the climate alters animals are affected and may be forced to find a new habitat that fits their needs. In an article titled, Amphibians and Climate Change written by Deanna H. Olson it states, "Amphibians that rely on certain habitat types may be at most risk, for example those found in ephemeral ponds and streams which may dry before the annual reproductive cycle is complete." This shows that amphibians will have a harder time trying to move to a location that fits their needs. ]]> 2018-10-23 23:21:23 UTC https://padlet.com/363960/23zq1d3f62xd/wish/296225489 363960 https://padlet.com/363960/23zq1d3f62xd/wish/296230206 Climate change may also affect breeding patterns in reproduction because amphibians confuse their timing. In an article named, Amphibians, Reptiles and Climate Change written by Amy J. Lind, it quotes, "The timing of reproduction, metamorphosis, dispersal, and migration may shift in response to higher temperatures and changes in rainfall." If such a shift in breeding occurred then timing would be off for children and their growth rate would be affected. ]]> 2018-10-23 23:47:45 UTC https://padlet.com/363960/23zq1d3f62xd/wish/296230206 363960 https://padlet.com/363960/23zq1d3f62xd/wish/296241541 2018-10-24 00:49:44 UTC https://padlet.com/363960/23zq1d3f62xd/wish/296241541 364862 https://padlet.com/363960/23zq1d3f62xd/wish/296435430 Rising temperatures can lead to an increased spread of disease. This affects their homeostasis and these changes can cause pathogen outbreaks, weakened immune systems, and many more diseases. In an article named "Climate Change," by  research scientist Richard Sayre, it says, " Kiesecker found that in extremely dry years, reduced pond depth increases exposure of amphibian embryos to ultraviolet (UV-B) radiation. This increased exposure to UV-B increases their vulnerability to an infectious disease, Saprolegnia ferax, which causes egg mortality." Amphibians require certain temperatures to carry out basic functions in life and stay healthy.]]> 2018-10-24 13:43:46 UTC https://padlet.com/363960/23zq1d3f62xd/wish/296435430 364862 https://padlet.com/363960/23zq1d3f62xd/wish/296447231 Climate Change, amphibiaweb.org/declines/ClimateChange.html.

It is expected that the global temperature will increase over the next years. Reducing climate change can prevent species from becoming endangered or even extinct.]]> 2018-10-24 17:29:46 UTC https://padlet.com/363960/23zq1d3f62xd/wish/296587196
