  • 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...

  • 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...
