Amphibian fungal panzootic causes catastrophic and ongoing loss of biodiversity
Anthropogenic trade and development have broken down dispersal barriers, facilitating the
spread of diseases that threaten Earth's biodiversity. We present a global, quantitative …

Effects of captivity and rewilding on amphibian skin microbiomes
Captive breeding to safeguard against extirpation in the wild is a practice for many animal
groups. Animals in captivity experience reduced contact with natural substrates and other …

Ongoing harlequin toad declines suggest the amphibian extinction crisis is still an emergency
Biodiversity loss is extreme in amphibians. Despite ongoing conservation action, it is difficult
to determine where we stand in overcoming their extinction crisis. Among the most …

Comment on “Amphibian fungal panzootic causes catastrophic and ongoing loss of biodiversity”
Scheele et al.(Reports, 29 March 2019, p. 1459) bring needed attention to the effects of
amphibian infectious disease. However, the data and methods implicating the disease …

Body condition, skin bacterial communities and disease status: insights from the first release trial of the limosa harlequin frog, Atelopus limosus
Many endangered amphibian species survive in captive breeding facilities, but there have
been few attempts to reintroduce captive-born individuals to rebuild wild populations. We …

Evolutionary ecology of host competence after a chytrid outbreak in a naive amphibian community
Naive multi-host communities include species that may differentially maintain, transmit and
amplify novel pathogens; therefore, we expect species to fill distinct roles during infectious …
