  • The effects of an emerging pathogen on amphibian host behaviors and interactions

    Creator:
    Han, Barbara A.
    Abstract:
    Contemporary environmental change encompasses massive biodiversity loss and increasing numbers of emerging diseases worldwide. As part of a global biodiversity crisis, amphibians are disappearing at unprecedented rates. Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis is an emerging infectious pathogen prominently associated with many declines. Chapter 1 reviews the past decade of research on this system...

  • 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...

  • 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...
