Question

In recent decades, amphibian populations increased worldwide leading to increased competition for food and other resources.

a. True
b. False

Answer 1

False

Step-by-step explanation:

• In recent decades there has been a decline in amphibian populations worldwide.
• The major reason for the decline of amphibian populations has been habitat destruction. Besides habitat destruction, global climate change, as well as chytridiomycosis disease, has also been a major factor in driving the population towards extinction.
• As a result of the above-mentioned factors as well as a few others, more than 43% of the amphibian populations are declining and already many of the species have gone extinct.
