Global emergence of Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis and amphibian chytridiomycosis in space, time, and host. (2009, background): “Trade-offs between immunity and growth, development, and reproduction are reported for amphibians, as are seasonal patterns of immune regulation and experimental alteration of immune function with exposure to cold temperatures (71, 72, 93, 98).”
Direct and Indirect Effects of Climate Change on Amphibian Populations (2010, background): “Therefore, to some extent, a lag exists between changes in temperature, and subsequent changes in immune parameters [163].”
Resistance to chytridiomycosis varies among amphibian species and is correlated with skin peptide defenses (2007, background): “Because temperature can affect amphibian immunity and mortality due to chytridiomycosis (Woodhams, Alford & Marantelli, 2003; Berger et al., 2004; Pounds et al., 2006; Raffel et al., 2006), three thermal regimes were chosen to represent constant laboratory conditions, natural temperature variation a”
Identifying the World's Most Climate Change Vulnerable Species: A Systematic Trait-Based Assessment of all Birds, Amphibians and Corals (2013, background): “caused by changing climates has a synergistic negative effect in combination with chytridiomycosis ( [36,39,40], but see [41,42]), while climatic changes appear to facilitate”
Ranavirus Ecology and Evolution: From Epidemiology to Extinction (2015, background): “…in global temperature with climate change, a greater focus on understanding the interactive effects of temperature and its variability (and even temperature variability; e.g., Raffel et al. 2006 ; but see Terrell et al. 2013 ) on host and pathogen physiology is needed (Altizer et al. 2013 ).”
Disease dynamics vary spatially and temporally in a North American amphibian (2011, background): “Host immunity may play a role, as amphibian immune defenses decrease with temperature (Raffel et al., 2006) independent of season (Jozkowicz and Plytycz, 1998), and in the laboratory, innate immune defenses against Bd occur at 26 "C but not 18 "C (Ribas et al.”
Temperature‐driven shifts in a host‐parasite interaction drive nonlinear changes in disease risk (2012, background): “However, temperature is well known to influence ectotherm immunity (Maniero & Carey, 1997; Raffel et al., 2006), and we therefore exercise caution in assessing the role of burden on deformities until more information is available on the contributing effects of temperature on amphibian infection at m”
Measuring amphibian immunocompetence: validation of the phytohemagglutinin skin‐swelling assay in the cane toad, Rhinella marina (2011, methodology): “Other noninvasive methods for assessing immunocompetence (e.g. counting white blood cells on blood smears: Forbes, McRuer, & Shutler 2006; Raffel et al. 2006) simply measure circulating levels of components of the immune system and give less direct *Correspondence author.”
Disease ecology meets ecological immunology: understanding the links between organismal immunity and infection dynamics in natural populations (2011, background): “In red-spotted newts, for example, short-term temperature fluctuations reduced some circulating leukocyte numbers, suggesting that these animals could bemore susceptible to infectious diseases during times of climatic instability (Raffel et al. 2006).”
Will climate change reduce the effects of a pesticide on amphibians?: partitioning effects on exposure and susceptibility to contaminants (2011, background): “Climate change is expected to differentially affect homeostasis and other physiological mechanisms of species (Gordon, 2003; Raffel et al., 2006; Martin et al., 2010), and thus there is good reason to believe that climate change will affect biotic responses to many natural and anthropogenic factors ”
