AmphibiaWeb: Declining Amphibian Populations
- Summarizes some of the evidence of climate change around the world. Describes direct effects such as phenology, decline and extinction, and indirect effects such as decreased immune function due to increased exposure of amphibian embryos to ultraviolet radiation.
Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS): Coral Bleaching Index
- The results of reef monitoring and regional surveys are used to provide up to date information on the status of corals around the world. Includes details of facilities, services, and current research projects.
Climate Change and Wildlife
