Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) is a chytrid fungus that causes chytridiomycosis in
amphibians. Only named in 1999, Bd is a proximate driver of declines in global amphibian …

Population losses and extinctions of species are occurring at unprecedented rates, as
exemplified by declines and extinctions of amphibians worldwide. However, studies of …

As the Earth warms, many species are likely to disappear, often because of changing
disease dynamics. Here we show that a recent mass extinction associated with pathogen …

Background The process of generating raw genome sequence data continues to become
cheaper, faster, and more accurate. However, assembly of such data into high-quality …

The rapid worldwide emergence of the amphibian pathogen Batrachochytrium
dendrobatidis (Bd) is having a profound negative impact on biodiversity. However, global …

Chytridiomycosis, the disease caused by the chytrid fungus, Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis
(Bd), has contributed to amphibian population declines and extinctions worldwide. The …

The majority of studies on environmental change focus on the response of single species
and neglect fundamental biotic interactions, such as mutualism, competition, predation, and …

Many threats to biodiversity cannot be eliminated; for example, invasive pathogens may be
ubiquitous. Chytridiomycosis is a fungal disease that has spread worldwide, driving at least …

Emerging infectious diseases threaten human and wildlife populations. Altered ecological
interactions between mutualistic microbes and hosts can result in disease, but an …

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 …
