Evaluate the macro-ecological patterns of aging and growth in amphibian species from the world’s major biogeographic realms.

Evaluate the macro-ecological patterns of aging and growth in a representative and widely-distributed model-species from the Palearctic (Rana temporaria) to test if interspecific patterns are also reflected at intraspecific level.

Predict shifts of the aging and growth patterns under future climate-change scenarios, at two levels: interspecific (from O1) and intraspecific (from O2).

Some of the preliminary results were presented at the European Congress of Herpetology, in Belgrade (Serbia, 2022) and Wolverhampton (UK, 2023), while some were already published or accepted for publication. See the Results section for more!

UPDATE: We are preparing to present our work to the World Congress of Herpetology which will be held this August in Borneo! 🤓
