- The effects of amphibian population declines on the structure and function of Neotropical stream ecosystems (2006, background): “Over the past 15 years, amphibian faunas have sequentially declined from upland sites in Costa Rica and Panama in a pronounced NW to SE direction (Lips et al. 2003; Figure 2).”
- The chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis is non‐randomly distributed across amphibian breeding habitats (2007, background): “However, our results and those of others (Waldman, 2001; Lips et al., 2003b; Cummer et al., 2005; Kriger & Hero, 2006) demonstrate that it is indeed possible for amphibians breeding away from permanent water to become infected with B. dendrobatidis.”
- The amphibian decline crisis: A watershed for conservation biology? (2005, background): “In Central America, declining amphibian species have certain features in common (use of aquatic habitats, restricted elevational ranges and large body size) that set them apart from non-declining species (Lips et al., 2003).”
- MEASURING AND MONITORING AMPHIBIAN DIVERSITY IN TROPICAL FORESTS. I. AN EVALUATION OF METHODS WITH RECOMMENDATIONS FOR STANDARDIZATION (2004, background): “However, for specific questions (cf. Lips et al. 2003) transects should be supplemented by specifically investigating aquatic breeding sites with the appropriate set of standardized techniques (Heyer et al. 1994, Olson et al. 1997, Rödel 1998a).”
- Decline and extirpation of an endangered Panamanian stream frog population (Craugastor punctariolus) due to an outbreak of chytridiomycosis (2008, background): “These declines are nonrandom with respect to timing ( Laurance et al., 1996; Lips et al., 2006; Kriger and Hero, 2006), physical habitat (Ron, 2005), and ecology of affected species (Williams and Hero, 1998; Lips et al., 2003; Murray and Hose, 2005), with species most closely associated with ripari”
- The amphibian chytrid fungus along an altitudinal transect before the first reported declines in Costa Rica (2006, background): “In the Neotropics, one of the best indicators of amphibian population decline is the case of the harlequin frogs of the genus Atelopus ( Lips et al., 2003a; La Marca et al., 2005).”
- Predicting the Distribution of the Amphibian Pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis in the New World 1 (2005, background): “…0.619 Precipitation of coldest quarter 0.632 0.465 −0.386 Eigenvalue 8.893 3.106 1.032 Percentage of variance explained 59.28 20.70 6.88 in Central America showed declines in 96 of 166 populations (Lips et al. 2003b) and B. dendrobatidis was present during the declines in at least two of the sites.”
- Amphibian Pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis Is Inhibited by the Cutaneous Bacteria of Amphibian Species (2006, background): “mission could explain the observed pattern that terrestrial species that brood their embryos are less likely to show fungus-related population declines than pond- and stream-dwelling species (McDonald and Alford, 1999), although other explanations are possible (Lips et al., 2003).”
