The principles of rapid response for amphibian conservation, using the programmes in Panama as an example (2008, background): “Journal compilation c 2008 The Zoological Society of London had been witnessed and studied in other locations in both Panama and Costa Rica for over a decade (Lips et al., 2005).”
THE AMPHIBIAN TREE OF LIFE (2006, background): “For all but a few groups, there is only a rudimentary evolutionary framework upon which to cast the theories of cause, predict which lineages are most likely to go extinct, or even comprehend the amount of genetic diversity being lost (Lips et al., 2005).”
Invasive species, climate change and ecosystem-based adaptation : addressing multiple drivers of global change (2010, background): “Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) has been implicated in this massive extinction of primarily tropical frog species (Lips et al. 2005, Pounds et al. 2006).5 Bd is a rapidly spreading chytrid fungus that causes the highly virulent skin disease chytridiomycosis by inhibiting electrolyte transport…”
The North American bullfrog as a reservoir for the spread of Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis in Brazil (2010, background): “The earliest report of dramatic declines in native Brazilian frogs that fits the pattern of disease spread was in 1979 (Heyer et al., 1988; Lips, 1998; Lips et al., 2005), with the earliest known infection with B.”
Unraveling the conservation status of Data Deficient species (2013, background): “Recently, population declines have been reported in several Data Deficient species (Lips et al., 2005), where habitat loss, diseases (e.g. chytridiomycosis), climate change, and pollution are identified as potential threat factors (Lips et al., 2005; Pounds et al., 2006; Eterovick et al., 2005;…”
Integrative inventory of Bolivia’s lowland anurans reveals hidden diversity (2011, result): “Similar to other regions, records of the lethal disease Chytridiomycosis caused by the fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis 40, 6, November 2011, pp 567–583 567 (Longcore et al. 1999) are accumulating also in South America (e.g. Lips et al. 2005; Toledo et al. 2006; Barrionuevo et al. 2008).”
Extinction vulnerability of tropical montane endemism from warming and upslope displacement: a preliminary appraisal for the highest massif in Madagascar (2008, background): “Other studies have found strong evidence supporting emerging infectious diseases driving enigmatic amphibian declines in some tropical regions (e.g. Lips et al., 2005, 2006), or else gradual declines in herpetological assemblages that might possibly be linked to local climate change (Whitfield et…”
Amphibian Contributions to Ecosystem Services (2014, background): “These declines have been largely a result of Bd, especially in otherwise intact habitats (Lips et al. 2005, 2008).”
