Amphibian chytridiomycosis: strategies for captive management and conservation
Dramatic declines and extinctions of amphibian species have occurred worldwide over the last three decades owing to the introduction of chytridiomycosis. This emerging infectious disease is caused by the chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis, a virulent water-borne pathogen of many amphibian species. It has caused epidemic waves of high mortality as it spread through susceptible wild po...

متن کاملAmphibian Breeding and Climate Change
Climate changes may be influencing the breeding patterns of certain organisms. Effects on breeding activities could eventually lead to significant changes in population structure that may be reflected in population declines of species that are especially sensitive, such as some amphibians. Thus, climate changes may have affected the timing of breeding in some European amphibian species. To furt...
متن کاملMetapopulation Dynamics and Amphibian Conservation
In many respects, amphibian spatial dynamics resemble classical metapopulation models, in which subpopulations in breeding ponds blink in and out of existence and extinction and colonization rates are functions of pond spatial arrangement. This “ponds-as-patches” view of amphibian spatial dynamics is useful in several respects. First, it highlights the importance of regional and landscape proce...
متن کاملDNA barcoding applied to ex situ tropical amphibian conservation programme reveals cryptic diversity in captive populations.
Amphibians constitute a diverse yet still incompletely characterized clade of vertebrates, in which new species are still being discovered and described at a high rate. Amphibians are also increasingly endangered, due in part to disease-driven threats of extinctions. As an emergency response, conservationists have begun ex situ assurance colonies for priority species. The abundance of cryptic a...
