Catastrophic Population Declines and Extinctions in Neotropical Harlequin Frogs (Bufonidae: Atelopus) 1 (2005, background): “Laboratory experiments show that Bd can cause mortality in most tested species of frogs (Berger et al. 1998, Daszak et al. 2003), although some amphibians may be resistant (e.g., Davidson et al. 2003).”
Chytrid fungus infection related to unusual mortalities of Salamandra salamandra and Bufo bufo in the Peñalara Natural Park, Spain (2006, background): “Not surprisingly, the only reports of chytrid infection in wild urodeles involve representatives of families characterized by aquatic habits, such as Ambystomatidae (Davidson et al., 2003) and Dicamptodontidae (Cleary, 2004).”
Survivorship in Wild Frogs Infected with Chytridiomycosis (2006, background): “High variation in the population-level effects of chytridiomycosis is mirrored by a wide range of disease outcomes at the individual-level, as susceptibility of captive amphibians to chytridiomycosis has been shown to vary across species, age classes, and thermal conditions (Lamirande and Nichols, 2”
Proportion of individuals with anti-Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis skin bacteria is associated with population persistence in the frog Rana muscosa (2010, background): “Interestingly, some species of amphibians coexist with Bd whereas others succumb to disease (Davidson et al., 2003; Hanselmann et al., 2004; Retallick et al., 2004).”
Historical Evidence of Widespread Chytrid Infection in North American Amphibian Populations (2005, background): “…Lips 1999; Lips et al. 2003), South (Bonaccorso et al. 2003; Ron et al. 2003), and North America (e.g., Bradley et al. 2002; Green et al. 2002; Davidson et al. 2003; Muths et al. 2003); Europe (Bosch et al. 2001); Africa (Hopkins & Channing 2003; Lane et al. 2003); and Australasia (Berger et…”
Interactive Effects of a Heavy Metal and Chytridiomycosis on Gray Treefrog Larvae (Hyla chrysoscelis) (2004, methodology): “We used a B. dendrobatidis concentration known to be infectious and cause mortality in laboratory exposures of other anurans and urodeles (Davidson et al., 2003), but field concentrations of B. dendrobatidis are unknown.”
Experimental Exposures of Boreal Toads (Bufo boreas) to a Pathogenic Chytrid Fungus (Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis) (2006, unknown): “…in understanding the interactions of this fungal pathogen with amphibians (see reviews by Berger et al., 2004; Carey et al., 2003a, 2003b; Daszak et al., 2003; Davidson et al., 2003; Longcore et al., 1999; McDonald et al., 2005; Nichols et al., 2001; Pessier et al., 1999; Retallick et al., 2004).”
