Tadpole Mouthpart Depigmentation as an Accurate Indicator of Chytridiomycosis, an Emerging Disease of Amphibians (2006, background): “Although the best documented cause of this decline is the introduction of non-native fishes (Bradford, 1989; Knapp and Matthews, 2000; Vredenburg, 2004), recent studies also suggest the importance of chemical contaminants (Davidson, 2004) and chytridiomycosis (Rachowicz et al., in press).”
Amphibians in the climate vise: loss and restoration of resilience of montane wetland ecosystems in the western US (2014, background): “From a practical standpoint, fish management is straightforward relative to efforts to reduce other threats to freshwater ecosystems, which may involve complex disease dynamics (eg Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis; Rohr and Raffel 2010), entrenched global systems (eg aerially deposited contaminants, p”
Are we in the midst of the sixth mass extinction? A view from the world of amphibians (2008, background): “Factors implicated in the declines include introduced predatory trout (27), disease (28), and air pollution (29, 30).”
Amphibian Conservation Action Plan (2007, background): “Subsequent analyses have suggested that pesticides that inhibit acetylcholinesterase were most strongly correlated with declines (Davidson 2004).”
Symbiotic bacteria contribute to innate immune defenses of the threatened mountain yellow-legged frog, Rana muscosa (2007, background): “Although previous declines were attributed to the introduction of non-native trout (Bradford, 1989; Bradford et al., 1993; Knapp and Matthews, 2000; Vredenburg, 2004) or to pesticides (Davidson, 2004; Fellers et al., 2004), recent declines have continued even in apparently unpolluted fishless lakes.”
Direct and Indirect Effects of Climate Change on Amphibian Populations (2010, background): “amphibians [215-218] and they may interact with UV-B radiation, other contaminants and changes in climate [190].”
Interactive effects of predators and a pesticide on aquatic communities (2008, unknown): “Of the many classes of pesticides that are used, patterns thus far implicate carbamates and organophosphates, which are insecticides that inhibit acetylcholine esterase (Sparling et al. 2001, Davidson 2004).”
The amphibian decline crisis: A watershed for conservation biology? (2005, background): “…opposed to the laboratory, field enclosure or mesocosm) level is a difficult problem, but increasingly sophisticated analyses taking account of historical pesticide application data have strongly linked organophosphates and carbamates with the declines of four Californian anurans (Davidson, 2004).”
Concordant molecular and phenotypic data delineate new taxonomy and conservation priorities for the endangered mountain yellow‐legged frog (2007, background): “and air pollution (Davidson, Shaffer & Jennings, 2002; Davidson, 2004).”
