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 ...

This study explores the use of invertebrate‐derived DNA (iDNA) from haematophagous leeches to assess vertebrate biodiversity in the tropical rainforests of Indonesia. By applying Sanger sequencing with five primer sets, we detected 17 unique vertebrate taxa, including the rare Leptobrachium waysepuntiense, demonstrating the potential of iDNA as a ...
