Amphibian fungal panzootic causes catastrophic and ongoing loss of biodiversity
Anthropogenic trade and development have broken down dispersal barriers, facilitating the
spread of diseases that threaten Earth's biodiversity. We present a global, quantitative …

Priorities for management of chytridiomycosis in Australia: saving frogs from extinction
To protect Australian amphibian biodiversity, we have identified and prioritised frog species
at an imminent risk of extinction from chytridiomycosis, and devised national management …

Stable isotope analyses reveal predation on amphibians by a globally invasive fish (Gambusia holbrooki)
Biodiversity loss caused by invasive species is particularly problematic in freshwater
ecosystems, which are among the world's most threatened habitats. Invasive fish such as the …

Susceptibility to disease varies with ontogeny and immunocompetence in a threatened amphibian
Ontogenetic changes in disease susceptibility have been demonstrated in many vertebrate
taxa, as immature immune systems and limited prior exposure to pathogens can place less …

The only way is down: placing amphibian ponds on plateaux protects against Gambusia colonization
Invasive species pose a significant threat to global biodiversity, prompting the need for novel
management strategies. We investigated the effect of pond placement in preventing …
