INTRODUCTION Freshwater ecosystems cover less than 1% of Earth's surface yet support roughly 10% of all described species and one-third of all vertebrate species (Strayer & Dudgeon, 2010). Amphibians are particularly sensitive to freshwater habitat loss and water quality degradation, which are often driven by agriculture, deforestation, infrastructure development, pollution, mining, energy production, and inadequate water management (Luedtke et al., 2023).
INTRODUCTION Phenotypic plasticity is central to ensuring the survival and vigour of plants in response to a range of environmental cues and stressors (Kami et al. 2010; Bush 2023). Arguably, light is the most important factor throughout a plant's entire life cycle, as sensing and responding to light signals are critical for survival. Consequently, plants have evolved photoreceptors which coordinate morphological responses through divergent, yet overlapping signalling networks (Parihar et al. 2016).
