  • Host-pathogen dynamics in a changing environment : susceptibility of amphibians to an emerging infectious disease

    Creator:
    Searle, Catherine L.
    Abstract:
    Infectious diseases are a growing concern for both humans and wildlife. The negative effects of infectious disease have been exemplified by the recent global amphibian population declines associated with disease outbreaks. Although multiple pathogens and factors play a role in these declines, the aquatic fungal pathogen, Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd), has...

  • The Role of Emerging Pathogens in Amphibian Population Declines : Experimental Evidence

    Creator:
    Hambalek, Natalie M.
    Abstract:
    Rapid rates of biodiversity loss have supported the notion that Earth is experiencing a sixth major extinction event. The causes of worldwide biodiversity loss are multifaceted and context dependent. One of the most prominent groups experiencing population declines and extinctions are amphibians. Several pathogens and their associated diseases are especially...

  • Effects of Diversity on Emerging Infectious Diseases of Amphibians

    Creator:
    Snyder, Paul W.
    Abstract:
    Species declines and extinctions have been recorded across taxa as evidence of an ongoing global biodiversity crisis. Amphibians are at the forefront of these declines with nearly one third of amphibian species estimated to be at risk of extinction. While many factors contribute to population declines and extinctions, the role...
