Wetlands are biodiversity hotspots that provide several essential ecosystem services. On a
global scale, wetlands have greatly declined due to human activities. To counteract wetland …

Factors behind intraspecific variation in sensitivity to pathogens remain poorly understood.
We investigated how geographical origin in two North European amphibians affects …

Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) is a fungal pathogen that has decimated amphibian

Microbiomes play an important role in determining the ecology and behaviour of their hosts.
However, questions remain pertaining to how host genetics shape microbiomes, and how …

Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) infects amphibians and has been linked to the decline

Genomic variation within and among populations is shaped by the interplay between natural
selection and the effects of genetic drift and gene flow. Adaptive divergence can be found in …

Populations of the same species may differ in their sensitivity to pathogens but the factors
behind this variation are poorly understood. Moreover, infections may cause sub-lethal …

Emerging infectious diseases and climate change are urgent wildlife threats responsible for
many population reductions and extinctions, but their synergistic effects can be hard to …
