“…Interestingly, the distinction between natural vs. anthropogenic salinization can also be blurred, as is the case with salt water intrusion into freshwater bodies due to rising sea levels associated with human-induced climate change (Nicholls et al 1999). In addition, the influx of seawater into natural coastal estuaries, lagoons, and wetlands can also be heavily managed, causing salinities to change dramatically when artificial barriers are purposely breached (Smith and Reis 1997;Moreira et al 2015). Several species of anurans have been found inhabiting and breeding in these natural/anthropogenic brackish water bodies (Smith and Reis 1997;Moreira et al 2015) and, intriguingly, it is possible that this management technique actually promotes vs. discourages amphibian occupancy (Moreira et al 2015).…”
