Amphibian chytridiomycosis [PDF]

Diseases of Aquatic Organisms, 2010
Amphibian chytridiomycosis is a fungal disease caused by the chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis. It is arguably the most significant recorded infectious disease of any vertebrate class. The disease is reducing amphibian biodiversity across most continents and regions of the world, affecting the resilience of surviving populations and driving

Chytridiomycosis causes amphibian mortality associated with population declines in the rain forests of Australia and Central America.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 1998
Epidermal changes caused by a chytridiomycete fungus (Chytridiomycota; Chytridiales) were found in sick and dead adult anurans collected from montane rain forests in Queensland (Australia) and Panama during mass mortality events associated with ...

The first complete mitochondrial DNA of the Chinese short-limbed skink (Ateuchosaurus chinensis Gray, 1845) determined by next-generation sequencing

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2021
The complete mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) for the Chinese short-limbed skink (Ateuchosaurus chinensis Gray, 1845) was described by using next-generation sequencing. The total length of mtDNA was 16,840 bp, which contained 13 PCGs (COI-III, ND1-6, ND4L, ATP6,

Genome elimination from the germline cells in diploid and triploid male water frogs Pelophylax esculentus

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022
Hybridogenesis is a hemiclonal reproductive strategy in diploid and triploid hybrids. Our study model is a frog P. esculentus (diploid RL and triploids RLL and RRL), a natural hybrid between P. lessonae (LL) and P. ridibundus (RR).

Quantifying climate sensitivity and climate-driven change in North American amphibian communities

Nature Communications, 2018
Changing climate will impact species’ ranges only when environmental variability directly impacts the demography of local populations. However, measurement of demographic responses to climate change has largely been limited to single species and ...
