The global emergence and spread of the pathogenic, virulent, and highly transmissible
fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis, resulting in the disease chytridiomycosis, has …

River food webs are subject to two regimes of longitudinally varying ecological control:
productivity and disturbance. Light-limited productivity increases as channels widen …

Early calls for robust long-term time series of amphibian population data, stemming from
discussion following the first World Congress of Herpetology, are now being realized after …

There is general consensus that climate change has contributed to the observed decline,
and extinction, of many amphibian species throughout the world. However, the mechanisms …

Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis is the chytridiomycete fungus which has been implicated in
global amphibian declines and numerous species extinctions. Here, we show that …

Detecting individuals of amphibian and reptile species can be a daunting task. Detection
can be hindered by various factors such as cryptic behavior, color patterns, or observer …

Fatal amphibian chytridiomycosis has typically been associated with the direct costs of
infection. However the relationship between exposure to the pathogen, infection and …

Ecology Letters (2010) 13: 659–674 Abstract Analytical methods accounting for imperfect
detection are often used to facilitate reliable inference in population and community ecology …

Increasingly, host-associated microbiota are recognized to mediate pathogen establishment,
providing new ecological perspectives on health and disease. Amphibian skin-associated …

Chytridiomycosis is linked to the worldwide decline of amphibians, yet little is known about
the demographic effects of the disease. We collected capture–recapture data on three …
