This study analyzed how habitat fragmentation affects amphibian invasion, including the formation of new habitats caused by fragmentation, the destruction of local biological communities, and the increase in opportunities for invasive species to spread. It explored the interaction between fragmentation and environmental stressors such as climate change, pollution, and disease, and how to further promote amphibian invasion. Taking the American bullfrog (Lithobates catesbeianus) as a case study, this study analyzes its invasion patterns globally and the role of fragmentation in its spread, and summarizes relevant management and protection strategies. It has shown that enhancing habitat connectivity, strengthening monitoring of invasive species, utilizing environmental DNA (eDNA) technology for early detection, and optimizing land use planning are effective response measures. This study can provide theoretical support for the prevention and control of amphibian invasion, and provide practical guidance for habitat management and biodiversity conservation.
