The novel fungal pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (chytrid) is one of the greatest threats to amphibians worldwide. Small increases in water salinity (up to ca. 4 ppt) have …
Threatening processes, such as disease, can drive major changes in population demographics of the host. Chytridiomycosis, caused by the fungal pathogen …
Metapopulations often exist in a fragile balance between local extinctions and (re) colonisations, in which case emerging threats that alter species vital rates may drastically …
Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd), the causative agent of the devastating global amphibian disease chytridiomycosis, was not projected to threaten amphibians in hot and …
Water extraction and climate change are altering the availability of surface water globally, thereby contributing to amphibian population declines. The managed delivery of water to …
Chytridiomycosis is an amphibian disease which has led to population declines globally. In this thesis I present a literature review of temperature as a driver of chytrid infection …
Timing of environmental water delivery influences extinction risk for chytrid infected amphibian populations Page 1 Timing of environmental water delivery influences extinction risk for chytrid …
