The Effects of Nitrate and a Pathogenic Fungus, Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis, on Amphibians

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,...

Masters Thesis
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...

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,...
