How climate change and misaligned seasonal cues affect grey tree frogs and other wildlife
Climate change significantly threatens tree frogs by altering their habitats and breeding patterns, leading to population declines. Gray tree frogs, which freeze solid in winter using a natural antifreeze, are vulnerable when seasonal cues like day length misalign with actual temperatures. This desynchronization can hinder their growth, increase mortality, and impact other species relying on similar cues.
