Amphibians are particularly vulnerable to anthropogenic habitat modifications. Nonetheless, some species are tolerant and persist in modified sites due to unique functional traits. We evaluated how environmental variables (structural, climatic and water physicochemical) derived from anthropogenic modifications structure communities of amphibians from a functional perspective in the Sierra Madre del Sur, Mexico. We sampled 34 sites with varying degrees of habitat modification and classified the anuran community in five functional groups. Redundancy analysis and zero-inflated negative binomial generalised linear mixed models were used to evaluate the relationship between abundance (number of individuals per functional group) and the environmental variables. Results support that community structure and abundance are determined by the ecological preferences and diversity of functional traits of the species. Positive relationships prevailed between abundance and variables of water quality for anurans with rapid development, and humidity for anurans with direct development. Aggregation of forest patches and bare soil areas favoured groups with medium to large arboreal and terrestrial anurans, while these were negatively impacted by agriculture areas. Functional groups with higher abundance where water bodies exhibited certain physicochemical toxic levels were associated with the arrangement and composition of patches of different land uses. We highlight the importance of considering functional groups and landscape variables for understanding the community structure and habitat use of anurans. Specifically, for the anthropogenic landscapes studied, considering key environmental variables that allow sustaining the species’ functional traits is essential, with emphasis on an adequate management of water bodies, to establish effective conservation measures.

River water quality is receiving increasing attention worldwide due to its vital role in supporting ecosystems, agriculture, and human livelihoods. To maintain the stability of the ecosystem, it is essential to assess the water quality and contamination status of surface water resources. To create baseline data on the water quality and pollution status, surface water samples were taken from 20 different locations of the Karuvannur River, originating from the Southern Western Ghats and traversing the Kole Wetlands in the Thrissur District of Kerala state, India. The samples were analysed for physico-chemical parameters such as pH, EC, TDS, Cl−, SO 2−, NO −, Ca2+, Mg2+, Alkalinity, Hardness, DO, and BOD. The concentration of the tested parameters was within the permissible limit for domestic and agricultural purposes recommended by the World Health Organization and the Bureau of Indian Standards. The Water Quality Index (WQI) was calculated, and according to the results, all the samples fall under the 'good' category, ranging from 26.42 to 46.84 with an average of 34.48, and are presently devoid of any potential contamination risks. The partial pressure of CO2 (pCO2) of the surface water of the Karuvannur River ranges from 1,076 to 13,908 μatm, which is comparatively higher than the typical atmospheric concentration of 380μatm. The oversaturation of pCO2 signifies that the river actively contributes to the global carbon budget by releasing CO2 into the atmosphere. By quantifying pCO2 and linking it with hydrochemical characteristics, this study provides critical insights into carbon flux dynamics in tropical river systems, improving understanding of their contribution to regional and global carbon budgets and informing strategies for sustainable watershed management.
