• Amphibian Declines in Latin America: Widespread Population Declines, Extinctions, and Impacts 1 (2005, background): “By the late 1990s, several well-publicized population die-offs, apparent extinctions, and declines of entire amphibian faunas from Latin America were described (Heyer et al. 1988; Weygoldt 1989; Pounds and Crump 1994; Lips 1998, 1999).”
• Large‐scale seasonal variation in the prevalence and severity of chytridiomycosis (2006, background): “These results closely parallel laboratory studies, in which B. dendrobatidis grows best and is most pathogenic to frogs in cool conditions (Longcore et al., 1999; Lamirande & Nichols, 2002; Berger et al., 2004; Piotrowski et al., 2004).”
• Direct and Indirect Effects of Climate Change on Amphibian Populations (2010, unknown): “kill BD in the laboratory [175,176].”
• The effects of amphibian population declines on the structure and function of Neotropical stream ecosystems (2006, background): “In the laboratory, B dendrobatidis grows best under cool, humid conditions (Piotrowski et aL 2004), which might explain its greater impact on montane populations.”
• AMPHIBIAN POPULATION DECLINES AT SAVANNAH RIVER SITE ARE LINKED TO CLIMATE, NOT CHYTRIDIOMYCOSIS (2005, background): “…may have themselves been unfavorable for this pathogen, i.e., ground temperatures may be too warm for too long a period annually to support efficient growth and spread of B. dendrobatidis, a pathogen that persists under relatively cool conditions (Johnson et al. 2003, Piotrowski et al. 2004).”
• Global Amphibian Extinction Risk Assessment for the Panzootic Chytrid Fungus (2009, methodology): “However, to avoid model 'overfitting' [22] and multicollinearity of predictors, we restricted our study to the six 'bioclimate' variables mentioned which can be considered as biologically relevant parameters to Bd [10,11,14,16].”
• Low impact of chytridiomycosis on frog recruitment enables persistence in refuges despite high adult mortality (2015, methodology): “In vitro, Bd growth and survival is greatly reduced at temperatures P28 C (Piotrowski et al., 2004) and in the wild, high water temperatures have been linked to low Bd prevalence in adults of several species (Forrest and Schlaepfer, 2011; Heard et al.”
• Adapt or disperse: understanding species persistence in a changing world (2010, background): “The fungus, on the other hand, experiences temperature conditions that are mainly below its optimum temperature (Piotrowski et al., 2004).”
• Distribution and environmental limitations of an amphibian pathogen in the Rocky Mountains, USA (2008, methodology): “We plotted mean temperatures (minimum and maximum) during the active season for all clusters and placed our data within the context of what is known about temperature tolerances of Bd in the laboratory (Piotrowski et al., 2004).”
• Amphibian Population Declines in Latin America: A Synthesis 1 (2005, background): “In the lab, Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis grows best under cool, humid conditions (Piotrowski et al. 2004), which might explain its greater impact on montane amphibian populations (Stuart et al. 2004).”
