Modeling the distribution of niche space and risk for a freeze‐tolerant ectotherm, Lithobates sylvaticus

Abstract Many animals depend on stable below‐the‐snow (subnivium) conditions to survive winter in seasonally cold regions. Freeze‐tolerant ectotherms may experience increased ice content and/or energy expenditure in suboptimal subnivium conditions, with implications for overwinter survival and body...
