Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.We compared physiological traits and skin microbiota of four closely related anuran species co‐occurring in agricultural wetlands, including two threatened species and two common congeners, under shared environmental conditions. We quantified body size, endocrine status, innate immune function, and Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis infection, together ...

Unexpected rarity of the pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis in Appalachian Plethodon Salamanders: 1957-2011. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Widespread population declines in terrestrial Plethodon salamanders occurred by the 1980s throughout the Appalachian Mountains, the center of global salamander diversity, with no evident recovery.

A survey for Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans in Chinese amphibians [PDF]
Current Zoology, 2014 Abstract For the last decade, chytridiomycosis was considered to be caused by a single species of fungus, Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd), but a second chytrid species, Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans (Bs), was recently isolated from an infected Salamandra salamandra in the Netherlands.

Growth Regulation in Amphibian Pathogenic Chytrid Fungi by the Quorum Sensing Metabolite Tryptophol
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019 Amphibians face many threats leading to declines and extinctions, but the chytrid fungal skin pathogens Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) and Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans (Bsal) have been identified as the causative factors leading to one of the ...

Seasonal migrations, body temperature fluctuations, and infection dynamics in adult amphibians [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 Risks of parasitism vary over time, with infection prevalence often fluctuating with seasonal changes in the annual cycle. Identifying the biological mechanisms underlying seasonality in infection can enable better prediction and prevention of future ...

Multi‐Scale Habitat Suitability and Spatial Distribution of the European Green Toad
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.We modeled the multi‐scale spatial distribution and habitat suitability of the European green toad (Bufotes viridis) in Mediterranean Türkiye using an AHP–GIS framework integrating key environmental variables. The model identified proximity to freshwater and temperature as the strongest predictors, with ~67% of the area classified as highly suitable ...

Frogs vs fungus: the emergence of amphibian chytridiomycosis [PDF]
Microbiology Australia, 2022 By the late 1980s, widespread dramatic declines in amphibian populations were causing alarm. The culprit was identified as Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd), a chytrid fungus that infects the skin of various amphibian hosts, particularly anurans (frogs)

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 7, July 2026.Abstract Animals host diverse microbiomes crucial for their health, which subsequently influence their function in ecosystems. Metacommunity theory offers a useful framework to understand the processes driving host‐associated microbiome assembly across scales, linking regional environmental processes to local host–microbial processes.
