Information from the Zoological Information Management System (ZIMS) and studbook records supplemented this dataset. We found that within northern temperate regions, the number of pups reared to the age of 1

Many roads to reservoirs? How susceptibility and shedding shape host competence in amphibians
Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Host competence—the ability to acquire, harbour and transmit infections—drives pathogen spread and persistence in multi‐host communities. Evaluating species‐specific competence is critical for predicting transmission, particularly for generalist fungal pathogens like ...
