Uncertain future and uncertain projections: assessing extinction risks in European salamanders from projected chytrid fungus invasion using IUCN Criterion E

Acta Herpetologica
Amphibians are among the most threatened vertebrates globally, and their conservation status continues to decline. In the updated Global Amphibian Assessment (GAA2), the use of IUCN Criterion E, which projects extinction risks through quantitative ...

Micromanagement: conditions influencing antipathogen function of the skin microbiome in spotted salamanders, Ambystoma maculatum

Frontiers in Amphibian and Reptile Science
The emerging fungal pathogen Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans (Bsal) threatens the diversity of amphibians, particularly in North America where it is projected to invade. Amphibian skin defenses include a mucosal layer containing microorganisms that can
