Apparent survival of the salamander Salamandra salamandra is low because of high migratory activity [PDF]

, 2007
BACKGROUND: Understanding the demographic processes underlying population dynamics is a central theme in ecology. Populations decline if losses from the population (i.e., mortality and emigration) exceed gains (i.e., recruitment and immigration ...

Spatiotemporal Patterns and Road Mortality Hotspots of Herpetofauna on a Mediterranean Island

Diversity, 2023
Traffic intensification, often in conjunction with habitat fragmentation, has caused frequent roadkill incidents, particularly among reptiles, amphibians, and other taxa. Herpetofauna species, which are slow moving and habitat dependent, are particularly

First evidence of amphibian chytrid fungus (Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis) and ranavirus in Hong Kong amphibian trade.

PLoS ONE, 2014
The emerging infectious amphibian diseases caused by amphibian chytrid fungus (Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis, Bd) and ranaviruses are responsible for global amphibian population declines and extinctions.

Emerging Infectious Disease and the Trade in Amphibians [PDF]

, 2014
Amphibians are the most threatened class of vertebrate, and rates of species decline and extinction far exceed those seen historically. Habitat loss, climate change, over-exploitation and emerging infectious disease have all been identified as ...
