The occurrence of emerging infectious diseases in wildlife populations is increasing, and
changes in environmental conditions have been hypothesized as a potential driver. For …

We evaluated the response of amphibians and reptiles to two levels of prescribed burning
and three levels of thinning using a field experiment consisting of a before–after, control …

Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans (Bsal) is an emerging invasive pathogen that is highly
pathogenic to salamander species. Modeling infection dynamics in this system can facilitate …

More than one-fifth of the documented caves in the United States occur in Tennessee. The
obligate subterranean biota of Tennessee is rich and diverse, with 200 troglobionts reported …

Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans (Bsal) is an emerging fungal pathogen that affects

Hellbenders (Cryptobranchus alleganiensis) are long-lived, fully aquatic salamanders that
inhabit cool, well-oxygenated streams and rivers in the eastern United States. Although once …

The transmission dynamics of infectious diseases in amphibians, particularly those with
multiple transmission routes, are complex and can rapidly evolve into epizootics. Here, we …

Stable habitat connections that wildlife can safely traverse are essential to biodiversity
conservation and healthy ecosystems. We developed high‐resolution landscape …

Monitoring wetland wildlife is complex and requires use of various techniques to obtain
