Social Immunity in Amphibians: Evidence for Vertical Transmission of Innate Defenses (2011, methodology): “Afterwards, egg masses were blotted for detection of peptides using a peptide-absorbent film (Woodhams et al. 2007a).”
Extinction in Our Times: Global Amphibian Decline (2009, background): “They may offer small sparkles of hope (e.g., Woodhams et al. 2007, Lu et al. 2009).”
Proportion of individuals with anti-Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis skin bacteria is associated with population persistence in the frog Rana muscosa (2010, methodology): “The morphology and color of each isolate was described and each isolate was tested for ability to inhibit the growth of Bd. Bd-challenge assays were performed as previously published (Harris et al., 2006; Woodhams et al., 2007).”
The amphibian microbiome: natural range of variation, pathogenic dysbiosis, and role in conservation (2017, background): “Interestingly, susceptibility to Bd-disease can vary among individuals, populations, and species of amphibians, and their skin-associated bacteria have been suggested as one of the main drivers of these differences (Woodhams et al. 2007; Lam et al. 2010).”
