Low‐Coverage Whole‐Genome Analysis of Population Structure, Bottlenecks, and Selection in Indiana Bats Before and After White‐Nose Syndrome

Molecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 24, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Conservation successes for the endangered Indiana bat (Myotis sodalis) in the early 2000s were largely reversed by white‐nose syndrome (WNS), a novel fungal disease that emerged in North America in 2006. Impacts have been variable among Indiana bat colonies leading to uncertainty regarding the full impact of WNS on this species.

Towards a food web based control strategy to mitigate an amphibian panzootic in agricultural landscapes

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2020
While the emerging amphibian disease chytridiomycosis is causing dramatic and ongoing biodiversity losses worldwide, sustainable strategies to mitigate this global threat to amphibians are currently missing.

Who, where and when? The complexity of tracking amphibian chytrid pathogens [PDF]

, 2022
This cumulative thesis focuses on the study of amphibian chytrid pathogens (Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis and Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans). It includes contributions from three different manuscripts, two of which have been published, while the ...

Extending sampling approaches for great crested newt (Triturus cristatus) eDNA monitoring

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 6, Issue 4, October–December 2025.
Environmental DNA (eDNA) monitoring has been used for great crested newt (Triturus cristatus) survey in the UK since the publication of a Defra‐funded trial in 2014 and approval of a regulated protocol. Our study provides evidence that changes to this protocol, including use of filtration for eDNA capture and permitting eDNA surveys in July and August,

Cryptic disease-induced mortality may cause host extinction in an apparently stable host- parasite system [PDF]

, 2017
The decline of wildlife populations due to emerging infectious disease often shows a common pattern: the parasite invades a naive host population, producing epidemic disease and a population decline, sometimes with extirpation.

Quantifying exposure of amphibian species to heat waves, cold spells, and droughts

Conservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 5, October 2025.
Abstract Globally, amphibians face severe threats, such as climate change and associated extreme events. Our goal was to quantify global amphibian exposure to 3 classes of extreme events: heat waves, cold spells, and droughts. We used the MERRA‐2 extreme climate events data and the standardized precipitation–evapotranspiration index database to ...

Ecological niche models based on occurrence records of the amphibian chytrid fungus overestimate lethal chytridiomycosis risk

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 4, Page 995-1006, April 2025.
Ecological niche models (ENMs) based on the presence data of Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) can overestimate the mortality risk of chytridiomycosis because the environmental conditions suitable for Bd presence do not always correspond to those conducive to significant host mortality.

Impact of seasonal cycles on host-pathogen dynamics and disease mitigation for Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2019
Seasonal cycles have a demonstrated effect on the dynamics of human and animal diseases. However, their quantitative implications for disease mitigation in wildlife are less well studied.

Evaluating models of expert judgment to inform assessment of ecosystem viability and collapse

Conservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 2, April 2025.
Abstract Expert judgment underpins assessment of threatened ecosystems. However, experts are often narrowly defined, and variability in their judgments may be substantial. Models built from structured elicitation with large diverse expert panels can contribute to more consistent and transparent decision‐making.
