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...

Cannibalism in larvae of the long-toed salamander, Ambystoma macrodactylum

Creator:

Wildy, Erica Lynn

Abstract:

Predator-prey interactions have historically been studied to explain patterns of organization observed in populations and communities. They have also been important in understanding the evolution of antipredator responses in prey and counterstrategies in predators. Despite the breadth of knowledge that exists for heterospecific interactions, relatively few studies have investigated the...

Effects of pesticides on amphibians with special reference to the pyrethroidinsecticide, cypermethrin

Creator:

Biga, Lindsay M.

Abstract:

Pollution by pesticides is a ubiquitous concern for wildlife. The effects of pesticides are especially concerning in aquatic environments, which are particularly vulnerable as they have several exposure routes for the influx of chemicals. These effects are of particular concern as biodiversity loss reaches unprecedented rates. This includes recent declines...
