The chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis is non‐randomly distributed across amphibian breeding habitats (2007, background): “…zoospores (Longcore et al ., 1999), cannot survive desiccation (Johnson et al ., 2003), and has been recovered from dead and dying amphibians at ponds and streams worldwide (Bosch et al ., 2001; Waldman, 2001; Muths et al ., 2003; Weldon et al ., 2004; Lips et al ., 2006; Schloegel et al ., 2006).”

AMPHIBIAN POPULATION DECLINES AT SAVANNAH RIVER SITE ARE LINKED TO CLIMATE, NOT CHYTRIDIOMYCOSIS (2005, background): “…has since been reported from North and South America, Europe, New Zealand, and Africa as the cause of amphibian mass mortality and, in many cases, population declines (Ron and Merino 2000, Bosch et al. 2001, Waldman et al. 2001, Muths et al. 2003, Hanselmann et al. 2004, Weldon et al. 2004).”
