The relationship between the emergence of Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis, the international trade in amphibians and introduced amphibian species (2007, background): “National imports of live animals may annually run into the millions ( Schlaepfer et al. 2005 ) and efforts to procure wild amphibians for trade may be so intense as to cause local population declines (Jennings & Hayes 1985; Wang et al. 2004).”
An analysis of the live reptile and amphibian trade in the USA compared to the global trade in endangered species. (2014, methodology): “As above, we used the presumably lower estimate of the “captive” source category of Schlaepfer et al. (2005).”
The Amphibian Extinction Crisis - what will it take to put the action into the Amphibian Conservation Action Plan? (2012, background): “S Bishop et al Promoting a response to the Amphibian Extinction Crisis 4 www.cites.org Bishop et al | p5 of threat (CITES, 2012).”
The Aquarium Trade as an Invasion Pathway in the Pacific Northwest (2011, background): “Additionally, reliable record keeping of the type and number of organisms currently in the trade is lacking (Schlaepfer et al. 2005, Smith et al. 2008, Chang et al. 2009).”
Experimental Evidence that Amphibian Ranaviruses Are Multi-Host Pathogens (2008, background): “Transmissibility among diverse species also suggests that FV3-like viruses may be of considerable ecological and conservation importance, particularly in light of large-scale movements of amphibians, fish, and reptiles for commerce (Schlaepfer et al., 2005).”
Trade, harvest, and conservation of caterpillar fungus (Ophiocordyceps sinensis) in the Himalayas (2013, background): “Studies on the impact of commercial trade on biodiversity are largely focused on flagship species of mammals (Corlett, 2007), amphibians and reptiles (Schlaepfer et al., 2005), and fishes (Sethi et al., 2010) that have been commercially traded for relatively long periods of time.”
Uncovering an obscure trade: Threatened freshwater fishes and the aquarium pet markets (2013, background): “In addition, the lack of species-specific recording represents an impediment to assessing the origin and number of individuals of wild-caught species (Schlaepfer et al., 2005; Smith et al., 2008; Rhyne et al., 2012a).”
