Journal ArticleDOI
Ultraviolet radiation, toxic chemicals and amphibian population declines
TL;DR: This paper reviews the contribution of increasing UV radiation and environmental contamination to the global decline of amphibian populations and suggests synergy interactions of UV radiation with contaminants can enhance the detrimental effects of the contaminant and UV radiation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interspecific Variation in Susceptibility of Frog Tadpoles to the Pathogenic Fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis
Andrew R. Blaustein,John M. Romansic,Erin A. Scheessele,Barbara A. Han,Allan P. Pessier,Joyce E. Longcore +5 more
TL;DR: Results show that Batrachochytrium can negatively affect some species of amphibians at the larval stage and not others, and the implications of interspecific variation in susceptibility to fungal infection are broad.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluating the links between climate, disease spread, and amphibian declines
TL;DR: It is shown that there is spatial structure to the timing of Atelopus spp.
Journal ArticleDOI
Disease and thermal acclimation in a more variable and unpredictable climate
Thomas R. Raffel,John M. Romansic,Neal T. Halstead,Taegan A. McMahon,Matthew D. Venesky,Jason R. Rohr +5 more
TL;DR: A theoretical framework for how temperature variation and its predictability influence disease risk by affecting host and parasite acclimation responses is presented and evidence that unpredictable temperature fluctuations decrease frog resistance to the pathogenic chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis is provided.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fungicide‐induced declines of freshwater biodiversity modify ecosystem functions and services
Taegan A. McMahon,Neal T. Halstead,Steven A. Johnson,Thomas R. Raffel,John M. Romansic,Patrick W. Crumrine,Jason R. Rohr +6 more
TL;DR: A path analysis suggests that chlorothalonil-induced reductions in biodiversity and top-down and bottom-up effects facilitated algal blooms that shifted ecosystem functions.
