Novel infectious diseases, particularly those caused by fungal pathogens, pose
considerable risks to global biodiversity. The amphibian chytrid fungus (Batrachochytrium …

Protected areas like national parks are essential elements of conservation because they
limit human influence on the landscape, which protects biodiversity and ecosystem function …

Invasive species and emerging infectious diseases are two of the greatest threats to
biodiversity. American Bullfrogs (Rana [Lithobates] catesbeiana), which have been …

Harmful algal blooms (HABs) are a persistent and increasing problem globally, yet we still
have limited knowledge about how they affect wildlife. Although semi‐aquatic and aquatic …

Compensatory recruitment is a key demographic mechanism that has allowed the
coexistence of populations of susceptible amphibians with Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis …

Understanding the demographic consequences of interactions among pathogens, hosts,
and weather conditions is critical in determining how amphibian populations respond to …

Chytridiomycosis, the disease caused by the fungal pathogen Batrachochytrium
dendrobatidis (Bd), has been unambiguously implicated in the decline of amphibian …

Basic natural history information is critical for species conservation but is often deficient for
endangered species, which can be rare and difficult to study. This is particularly true for …

Demographic models enhance understanding of drivers of population growth and inform
conservation efforts to prevent population declines and extinction. For species with complex …

Maintenance of genetic diversity at adaptive loci may facilitate invasions by non-native
species by allowing populations to adapt to novel environments, despite the loss of diversity …
