Pathogenesis of Chytridiomycosis, a Cause of Catastrophic Amphibian Declines
View through CrossRef
Croaking Frogs
The global amphibian decline has been attributed, among other causes, to an amphibian skin disease chytridiomycosis caused by the fungus
Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis
. However, how this pathogen causes mortality has been unclear.
Voyles

(p.

) show that this superficial skin infection may lead to cardiac failure owing to changes caused by lowered ion transport through the skin and consequent electrolyte reduction in the blood.

Dispersal and the metapopulation paradigm in amphibian ecology and conservation: are all amphibian populations metapopulations?
Amphibians are frequently characterized as having limited dispersal abilities, strong site fidelity and spatially disjunct breeding habitat. As such, pond‐breeding species are ofte...
