Amphibians are frequently characterized as having limited dispersal abilities, strong site
fidelity and spatially disjunct breeding habitat. As such, pond‐breeding species are often …

Probiotic therapy through bioaugmentation is a feasible disease mitigation strategy based
on growing evidence that microbes contribute to host defences of plants and animals …

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

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

Amphibian populations are declining globally at an alarming rate. Pesticides are among a
number of proposed causes for these declines. Although a sizable database examining …

Parasites are important determinants of ecological dynamics. Despite the widespread
perception that parasites (in the broad sense, including microbial pathogens) threaten …

Urbanisation currently threatens over one-third of the world's known amphibian species. The
main threats of urbanisation to amphibian populations are habitat loss, habitat fragmentation …

Recent results continue to show the general consensus that ozone-related increases in UV-
B radiation can negatively influence many aquatic species and aquatic ecosystems (eg …

A major objective of ecology is to understand how ecological processes limit population
connectivity and species' distributions. By spatially quantifying ecological components …

The past decade has seen an explosion in the development and application of models
aimed at estimating species occurrence and occupancy dynamics while accounting for …
