Evolutionary conservation hotspots: key areas for threatened Neotropical glassfrogs under climate change scenarios

Anthropogenic climate change is one of the main threats to global biodiversity, with amphibians being among the most vulnerable vertebrate groups. In this context, the IUCN currently lists 69 species of Neotropical glassfrogs as threatened. However, our knowledge of how their taxonomic and phylogene...
