Emerging infectious disease in lentic environments : the ecology and biogeography of the amphibian chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis, with perspectives on water quality, limnology, and chemical contaminants

Creator:

Chestnut, Tara

Abstract:

Biodiversity losses in terrestrial, freshwater, and marine systems are accelerating at a global scale and the most threatened vertebrate taxa are those associated with freshwater habitats. The causes of biodiversity losses are often complex and include synergistic effects of natural and human-induced stressors, such as habitat loss and fragmentation, urbanization,...

Effects of atrazine on olfactory-mediated behaviors in Pacific lamprey (Entosphenus tridentatus)

Creator:

Smith, April G.

Abstract:

Pacific lamprey (Entosphenus tridentatus) are experiencing population declines throughout their range. Xenobiotics could be an important risk factor for lamprey populations. Our goal was to establish if common herbicides, as used in forest management, could affect reproductive fitness. We determined that atrazine was a likely compound of greatest concern to...
