We investigated how Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) affects multi‐host amphibian communities in Tasmania, Australia. Despite differential susceptibility, we found no evidence of population declines in susceptible species, suggesting that current environmental conditions may buffer communities against Bd impacts.

Anthropogenic change has facilitated the spread of the amphibian chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) in Brazil's Atlantic Forest, where two Bd lineages (Bd‐GPL and Bd‐Brazil) co‐occur. We successfully genotyped 252 Bd‐positive samples from a diverse amphibian assemblage spanning aquatic and terrestrial habitats and found that Bd lineage ...

The Genetic Basis of Color Polymorphism in the Orb‐Web Spider Gasteracantha cancriformis
This study investigates the genetic basis of coloration in the polymorphic spider Gasteracantha cancriformis using RNA‐seq data from different female color morphs. We assembled a reference transcriptome and identified differentially expressed genes associated with known pigmentation pathways, including carotenoids, melanin, ommochromes, and pteridines.

Environmental watering elevates chytrid infection probability in frogs
Abstract Prolonged drought associated with climate change is a global threat to amphibians. Environmental watering could limit declines but may worsen the amphibian disease chytridiomycosis which thrives in wet conditions. We aimed to discover how environmental water and chytrid interact to influence the survival of the endangered frog Pseudophryne ...
