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 …

Long‐term monitoring of tropical alpine habitat change, Andean anurans, and chytrid fungus in the Cordillera Vilcanota, Peru: Results from a decade of study
Abstract The Cordillera Vilcanota in southern Peru is the second largest glacierized range in
the tropics and home to one of the largest high‐alpine lakes, Sibinacocha (4,860 m). Here …

Amphibian chytrid infection is influenced by rainfall seasonality and water availability
Amphibians suffer from a number of factors that make them the most threatened group of
vertebrates. One threat is the fungal disease chytridiomycosis caused by the emerging …

Biotic and abiotic determinants of Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis infections in amphibians of the Brazilian Atlantic Forest
Latitudinal gradients are linked to the dynamics of infectious diseases. Both prevalence and
infection intensity of the amphibian-killing fungus, Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd), vary …

Emerging infectious diseases can drive host populations to extinction and are a major driver
of biodiversity loss. Controlling diseases and mitigating their impacts is therefore a priority …

Seasonal variation in population abundance and chytrid infection in stream-dwelling frogs of the Brazilian Atlantic forest
Enigmatic amphibian declines were first reported in southern and southeastern Brazil in the
late 1980s and included several species of stream-dwelling anurans (families Hylodidae …
