TL;DR: This article used whole-genome sequencing to solve the spatiotemporal origins of the most devastating panzootic to date, caused by the fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis, a proximate driver of global amphibian declines.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sex-specific Tradeoffs With Growth and Fitness Following Life-span Extension by Rapamycin in an Outcrossing Nematode, Caenorhabditis remanei
TL;DR: The results support the hypothesis that rapamycin affects key life-history traits in a sex-specific manner and argue that the fitness cost of life-span extension will be sex specific and propose that the smaller sex generally pay less while enjoying stronger life- span increase.
Journal ArticleDOI
Slow development as an evolutionary cost of long life
Martin I. Lind,Hwei-yen Chen,Sara Meurling,Anna Cristina Guevara Gil,Hanne Carlsson,Martyna K. Zwoinska,Johan Andersson,Tuuli Larva,Alexei A. Maklakov,Alexei A. Maklakov +9 more
TL;DR: Because there were no consistent trade-offs with growth rate or fecundity, the results highlight the key role of development rate – differentiation of the somatic cells per unit of time – in the evolution of life span.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development and worldwide use of non-lethal, and minimal population-level impact, protocols for the isolation of amphibian chytrid fungi

TL;DR: A pre-existing protocol for isolating chytrids from infected animals is modified to use toe clips and biopsies from toe webbing rather than euthanizing hosts, and distributed to researchers as part of the BiodivERsA project RACE; here called the RML protocol.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of host species and environmental factors on the prevalence of Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis in northern Europe.
TL;DR: The results show that the infection dynamics of Bd are complex and associated with host species, local pond characteristics and several landscape variables at larger spatial scales, especially for the most threatened species.
