Large‐scale seasonal variation in the prevalence and severity of chytridiomycosis (2006, background): “dendrobatidis favoring wetter regions (Ron, 2005).”
Amphibian Chytrid Fungus Broadly Distributed in the Brazilian Atlantic Rain Forest (2006, background): “Ecological niche modeling nonetheless predicts B. dendrobatidis to be widely distributed, occurring, among other sites, along the entire range of Brazil’s Atlantic rain forest (Ron, 2005).”
Upward range extension of Andean anurans and chytridiomycosis to extreme elevations in response to tropical deglaciation (2007, background): “Niche modeling analysis based on observations from 44 localities predicts the most likely occurrence of Bd in the Andes is above 1000 m, with a median elevation for pathogenic Bd found at 1714 m and maximum at 4112 m (Ron, 2005).”
Uses and requirements of ecological niche models and related distributional models (2006, background): “Several examples of this sort of study have been published (Austin and Meyers 1996; Costa et al. 2002; Guisan and Hofer 2003; Hirzel et al. 2002; Luoto et al. 2006; Peterson et al. 2004a; Ron 2005).”
Amphibian Population Declines in Latin America: A Synthesis 1 (2005, methodology): “Given patterns predicted by Ron (2005), B. dendrobatidis is likely to threaten amphibians in 12 Neotropical areas, including many species in unexplored biodiversity hotspots of Mexico (Parra-Olea et al. 2005), Central America (e.g., Nicaragua), South America (e.g., Colombia, Bolivia, Brazil, Peru),…”
Global emergence of Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis and amphibian chytridiomycosis in space, time, and host. (2009, background): “To identify those populations of amphibians most at risk from chytridiomycosis, there is a need to integrate assessments of the suitability of the climate for Bd (103) with assessments of the relative susceptibility of the species present (12).”
Distribution models for the amphibian chytrid Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis in Costa Rica: proposing climatic refuges as a conservation tool (2009, background): “A global predictive model of the potential distribution of B. dendrobatidis already exists (Ron, 2005).”
Global Amphibian Extinction Risk Assessment for the Panzootic Chytrid Fungus (2009, methodology): “GARP was used in an earlier model focusing on Bd's potential distribution in the New World [28].”
Distribution and environmental limitations of an amphibian pathogen in the Rocky Mountains, USA (2008, background): “One-way to explain the patterns we observed is to examine fundamental niche models that predict the occurrence of Bd worldwide and suggest that temperature and precipitation are important in determining where the fungus may occur (Ron, 2005).”
