Amphibian Chytrid Fungus Broadly Distributed in the Brazilian Atlantic Rain Forest (2006, background): “Although B. dendrobatidis has been implicated in amphibian declines throughout the neotropics (Berger et al., 1998; Lips, 1999; Puschendorf, 2003; La Marca et al., 2005; Mendelson et al., 2005), little is known about its current and historical distribution.”
Global Amphibian Extinction Risk Assessment for the Panzootic Chytrid Fungus (2009, background): “Species in which Bd have been detected [55-58] are underlined.”
State of the World's Amphibians (2015, background): “By 2005, 30 out of 113 putative species are feared extinct (La Marca et al. 2005).”
Amphibian Population Declines in Latin America: A Synthesis 1 (2005, background): “…example, many species of toads (Bufonidae) are affected throughout the tropics (Stuart et al. 2004), with members of the genus Atelopus being the true “canary in the coal mine” as evidenced by large, rapid declines in populations in 7 of the 11 countries in which they occur (La Marca et al. 2005).”
Large‐scale seasonal variation in the prevalence and severity of chytridiomycosis (2006, background): “This emerging infectious disease is known to affect at least 200 amphibian species worldwide (Speare & Berger, 2004; updated with recently published accounts) and is associated with population declines and mass-mortality events on several continents (Berger et al., 1998; Lips, 1999; Bosch, Martı́nez”
Global emergence of Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis and amphibian chytridiomycosis in space, time, and host. (2009, background): “The notable declines of amphibian populations at high altitudes (59, 63, 115, 130) coupled with reports of outbreaks of fatal chytridiomycosis in montane regions (9, 16) have resulted in a tendency to associate localities of fatal chytridiomycosis with high altitudes and cooler temperatures.”
Upward range extension of Andean anurans and chytridiomycosis to extreme elevations in response to tropical deglaciation (2007, background): “In Latin America, records of up to 4800 m have been found recently in Atelopus species (La Marca et al., 2005); up to 5000 m for Pleurodema, up to 4500 m for Bufo, and up to 5000 m, for Telmatobius (Pefaur & Duellman, 1980; Diaz-Páez & Ortiz, 2003).”
