Animal Conservation, Volume 28, Issue 6, Page 844-853, December 2025.In a mesocosm experiment we tested whether heated aquatic shelters would help tadpoles of amphibian populations to eliminate Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) infection or reduce its costs. Our results showed that, after appropriate modifications, the shelters could be effectively used in mitigation actions against Bd or other waterborne pathogens ...
