Non-native and native organisms moving into high elevation and high latitude ecosystems in an era of climate change: new challenges for ecology and conservation (2016, background): “Certainly, Bd and significant amphibian declines have been reported at high altitudes but the relationship between the two is not straight-forward (Fisher et al. 2009) and will likely to be further complicated by a changing climate.”
Invasive Species and Amphibian Conservation (2020, background): “500 amphibian species have declined because of chytridiomycosis, the disease caused by two chytrid fungi: Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis and B. salamandrivorans (Fisher et al. 2009; Scheele et al. 2019).”
A global assessment of alien amphibian impacts in a formal framework (2016, background): “salamandrivorans) is known to have in global amphibian declines (Fisher et al., 2009; Martel et al., 2013).”
A century of Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis in Illinois amphibians (1888 1989) (2015, background): “The global pandemic lineage (Bd-GPL, Farrer et al., 2011) that is causing global declines (Fisher et al., 2009b; Schloegel et al., 2012) may date back at least 1000 years (Rosenblum et al., 2013) or may be a recently emerged clone (James et al., 2009; Morehouse et al., 2003; Morgan et al., 2007).”
Low impact of chytridiomycosis on frog recruitment enables persistence in refuges despite high adult mortality (2015, background): “In other species, tadpoles can commonly be infected with Bd, but mortality is rare until metamorphosis, when infected individuals may succumb to chytridiomycosis (Fisher et al., 2009).”
Alien Pathogens on the Horizon: Opportunities for Predicting their Threat to Wildlife (2017, background): “…in Europe for more than 150 years (Filipová et al. 2013), Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis, a chytrid fungus infecting over 350 species of amphibian worldwide (Fisher et al. 2009), and the emerging and closely related pathogen of salamanders, Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans (Martel et al. 2014).”
