Exposure to a fungal pathogen increases the critical thermal minimum of two frog species

Ecology and Evolution, 2021
The ability of an organism to tolerate seasonal temperature changes, such as extremely cold temperatures during the winter, can be influenced by their pathogens.

Conservation translocations for amphibian species threatened by chytrid fungus: A review, conceptual framework, and recommendations

Conservation Science and Practice, 2021
Emerging infectious diseases are an increasingly prominent threat to biodiversity. However, traditional methods in conservation generally have limited efficacy in the face of disease threats.

Mucilage protects the planktonic desmid Staurodesmus sp. against parasite attack by a chytrid fungus

Journal of Plankton Research, 2022
Zoosporic fungi of the phylum Chytridiomycota are ubiquitous parasites of phytoplankton in aquatic ecosystems, but little is known about phytoplankton defense strategies against parasitic chytrid attacks.

Fungi in the Marine Environment: Open Questions and Unsolved Problems

mBio, 2019
Terrestrial fungi play critical roles in nutrient cycling and food webs and can shape macroorganism communities as parasites and mutualists. Although estimates for the number of fungal species on the planet range from 1.5 to over 5 million, likely fewer ...

Educating the enemy: Harnessing learned avoidance behavior in wild predators to increase survival of reintroduced southern corroboree frogs

Conservation Science and Practice, 2020
After decades of near‐complete extirpation, the yellow‐and‐black‐striped Southern Corroboree Frog (Pseudophryne corroboree) is being reintroduced into field enclosures that exclude all but avian predators.

Recent Asian origin of chytrid fungi causing global amphibian declines

Science, 2018
Panzootic chytrid fungus out of Asia Species in the fungal genus Batrachochytrium are responsible for severe declines in the populations of amphibians globally. The sources of these pathogens have been uncertain. O'Hanlon et al.

Chytrids enhance Daphnia fitness by selectively retained chytrid‐synthesised stearidonic acid and conversion of short‐chain to long‐chain polyunsaturated fatty acids

Freshwater Biology, 2022
Chytrid fungal parasites convert dietary energy and essential dietary molecules, such as long‐chain (LC) polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), from inedible algal/cyanobacteria hosts into edible zoospores.

Spatial and temporal changes of parasitic chytrids of cyanobacteria

Scientific Reports, 2017
Parasitism is certainly one of the most important driving biotic factors of cyanobacterial blooms which remains largely understudied. Among these parasites, fungi from the phylum Chytridiomycota (i.e.
