Sociality, density‐dependence and microclimates determine the persistence of populations suffering from a novel fungal disease, white‐nose syndrome
Disease has caused striking declines in wildlife and threatens numerous species with
extinction. Theory suggests that the ecology and density‐dependence of transmission …

The amphibian skin‐associated microbiome across species, space and life history stages
Skin‐associated bacteria of amphibians are increasingly recognized for their role in defence
against pathogens, yet we have little understanding of their basic ecology. Here, we use …

Direct and indirect effects of climate change on amphibian populations
As part of an overall decline in biodiversity, populations of many organisms are declining
and species are being lost at unprecedented rates around the world. This includes many …
