Data Sheet 1_Physiological responses and adaptive mechanisms of amphibians and reptiles to

An integrative review synthesizing knowledge on physiological responses of amphibians and reptiles to interacting environmental stressors. The PDF document, authored by Muammer Kurnaz and last updated in April 2026, analyzes thermal tolerance, water balance, pollutant impacts, and disease susceptibility. Approximately 7.5% of amphibian species are projected to exceed their physiological limits under a 4°C warming scenario.

Use Cases

• Modeling species vulnerability to climate change based on critical thermal tolerance data mentioned in the review
• Analyzing synergistic effects between thermal and hydric stress on amphibian dehydration scenarios described in the document
• Studying the impact of chemical pollutants on developmental abnormalities and immunosuppression referenced in the synthesis
• Investigating the role of emerging infectious diseases like chytridiomycosis in population declines as covered in the review

Strengths

• Provides specific quantitative findings, such as a 7.5% projected exceedance of physiological limits for amphibians under 4°C warming
• Cites concrete metrics like acclimation responses averaging 0.13°C increase in CTmax per 1°C environmental warming
• Documents a 535% increase in malformation frequency linked to chemical pollutants

Limitations

• The dataset is a single 87.3 KB PDF review article, not a primary data collection, limiting direct analysis
• Row count and column-level documentation are absent; the content is narrative synthesis
• Freshness should be verified as the last update date is in the future (2026-04-30)
