The study found that species turnover in amphibians more closely follows changes in the environment when compared to birds. Biologists have long suspected that amphibians, whose moist permeable skins make them susceptible to slight changes in the environment, might be good bellwethers for impending alterations in biodiversity during rapid climate change.
