  • Disentangling the Biotic and Abiotic Drivers of the Amphibian Disease Chytridiomycosis

    Creator:
    Bradley, Paul W.
    Abstract:
    The ongoing worldwide loss of biodiversity has been described as a "biodiversity crisis," "the Anthropocene defaunation," and alternatively "an extinction spasm." More recently, many scientists have come to the conclusion that we are witnesses to Earth's sixth major mass extinction event, which has the potential to fundamentally alter basic ecological...

    Creator:
    Negru, Delia
    Abstract:
    The current rate of global biodiversity loss and extinctions is unparalleled and a major concern. Freshwater organisms are facing particularly rapid rates of biodiversity loss. Amphibians, which require an aquatic environment for part of their life cycle, are one of the most vulnerable vertebrate groups. Amphibians are experiencing population declines,...

  • Environmental influences on host-pathogen dynamics of the amphibian chytrid fungus

    Creator:
    Buck, Julia C.
    Abstract:
    The causes of the global biodiversity crisis are varied and complex. Anthropogenic threats may act in isolation, or interact additively or synergistically with each other or with natural stressors to affect sensitive taxa. The recent emergence of many infectious diseases in wildlife has brought attention to the role of disease...
