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 …

Priorities for management of chytridiomycosis in Australia: saving frogs from extinction
To protect Australian amphibian biodiversity, we have identified and prioritised frog species
at an imminent risk of extinction from chytridiomycosis, and devised national management …

Evidence of a salt refuge: chytrid infection loads are suppressed in hosts exposed to salt
With the incidence of emerging infectious diseases on the rise, it is becoming increasingly
important to identify refuge areas that protect hosts from pathogens and therefore prevent …

Associations between anuran tadpoles and salinity in a landscape mosaic of wetlands impacted by secondary salinisation
The secondary salinisation of wetlands is a global problem that poses a great threat to most
freshwater biodiversity, including amphibians. We examined tadpole diversity in relation to …

Flow to nowhere: the disconnect between environmental watering and the conservation of threatened species in the Murray–Darling Basin, Australia
The Murray–Darling Basin Plan was established with the objective of restoring water from
irrigation to the environment, thereby conserving wetlands and biodiversity. We examined …

Presence of the amphibian chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis in threatened corroboree frog populations in the Australian Alps
Since the early 1980s, the southern corroboree frog Pseudophryne corroboree and northern
corroboree frog P. pengilleyi have been in a state of decline from their sub-alpine and high …
