Amphibians are the world's most at-risk vertebrates, with more than 40% of species listed as threatened.

UNSW researchers have found out how to predict the heat tolerance of 60% of amphibian species.

104 out of 5203 species -- 2% -- are already exposed to overheating in shaded terrestrial conditions.

A 4C global temperature increase could push 7.5% of.

species beyond their physiological limits.

Amphibians are deeply rooted in human cultures and it would be a shame to lose such beautiful and emblematic species.

The study's habitat specific predictions offer clear management priorities for conservation managers.

"We must protect and restore environments that allow them to regulate their body temperature," says Dr Pottier .
