How specialists can be generalists: resolving the “parasite paradox” and implications for emerging infectious disease (2010, background): “…by hosts and parasites include biotic expansion with geographic colonization, shifting patterns of geographic range, changing phenology and habitat use, modification of ecotones and contact zones (PARMESAN 2006, HOBERG & BROOKS 2008), and local extinction (POUNDS et al. 2006, MARCOGLIESE 2001).”
An analysis of the live reptile and amphibian trade in the USA compared to the global trade in endangered species. (2014, background): “This disease has been associated with the observed global decline and extinction of amphibian species (Stuart et al., 2004; Pounds et al., 2006).”
Host-parasite population dynamics under combined frequency-and density-dependent transmission (2007, background): “Given that Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis has been implicated in the extinction of numerous amphibian species worldwide (Garner et al. 2005, 2006, Pounds et al. 2006), our analysis highlights the potential danger of overlooking frequency-dependence.”
Pattern of distribution of the American bullfrog Rana catesbeiana in Europe (2007, background): “This fungus is the agent of chytridiomycosis, an emergent amphibian disease that causes extinction of amphibian populations at a global scale (Berger et al. 1998; Bosch et al. 2001; Lips et al. 2006; Pounds et al. 2006).”
Survivorship in Wild Frogs Infected with Chytridiomycosis (2006, background): “, 1994; Jensen and Camp, 2003), invasive species (Gillespie, 2001; Kats and Ferrer, 2003), climate change (Pounds, 2001; Williams et al., 2003; Pounds et al., 2006), pollutants (Davidson et al.”
Interactions between climate and habitat loss effects on biodiversity: a systematic review and meta‐analysis (2012, background): “Others will retract and potentially face extinction (Pounds et al., 2006; Thomas et al., 2006; Sekercioglu et al., 2008).”
Chytridiomycosis Widespread in Anurans of Northeastern United States (2007, background): “Consequently, the climatic conditions (both temp and cloud cover; Pounds et al. 2006) when infected larvae metamorphose may control whether amphibians die at this critical stage.”
Extinction risk in cloud forest fragments under climate change and habitat loss (2013, background): “They could catalyse the impact of other threats, such as chytridiomycosis, the fungal infection that is affecting large numbers of amphibian species in the tropics (Pounds et al., 1999, 2006).”
Echinostome infection in green frogs (Rana clamitans) is stage and age dependent (2007, background): “…of amphibians are the focus of growing global concern as they are increasingly linked with population declines, extinctions and developmental deformities (Berger et al., 1998; Daszak et al., 1999; Daszak, Cunningham & Hyatt, 2003; Stuart et al., 2004; Lips et al., 2006; Pounds et al., 2006).”
Habitat fragmentation reduces genetic diversity and connectivity among toad populations in the Brazilian Atlantic Coastal Forest (2009, background): “…is at least partially explained by their often narrow environmental tolerances (Findlay and Houlahan, 1997; Bridges and Semlitsch, 2000; Pounds et al., 2006) and generally low dispersal capacities (Gibbs, 1998; deMaynedier and Hunter, 2000), both characteristics that exacerbate the…”
