The dramatic decline of some frog populations is directly connected to global warming, a new study claims.
The scientists looked at biodiversity hotspots in Central and South America, and found compelling links between frog extinctions and changes in temperature.
They believe the perfect conditions are being created for the spread of a fungus that is deadly to amphibians.
The international team, reporting its findings in Nature magazine, says the impact on biodiversity is "staggering".
