Physiological responses of Brazilian amphibians to an enzootic infection of the chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis
(Inter-research, 2016-01-13)
Pathophysiological effects of clinical chytridiomycosis in amphibians include disorders of cutaneous osmoregulation and disruption of the ability to rehydrate, which can lead to decreased host fitness or mortality. Less ...
Habitat Split as a Cause of Local Population Declines of Amphibians with Aquatic Larvae
(WILEY-BLACKWELL PUBLISHING, INC, 2010)
Most amphibian species have biphasic life histories and undergo an ontogenetic shift from aquatic to terrestrial habitats. In deforested landscapes, streams and forest fragments are frequently disjunct, jeopardizing the ...
Habitat Split as a Cause of Local Population Declines of Amphibians with Aquatic Larvae
(Wiley-Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2010-02-01)
Most amphibian species have biphasic life histories and undergo an ontogenetic shift from aquatic to terrestrial habitats. In deforested landscapes, streams and forest fragments are frequently disjunct, jeopardizing the ...
Deforestation, host community structure, and amphibian disease risk
(Elsevier B.V., 2016-02-01)
Habitat disturbances and the emergence of the chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) are linked to accelerated amphibian declines. Deforestation can directly alter amphibian community structure through abiotic ...

Habitat split and the global decline of amphibians
(Amer Assoc Advancement Science, 2007-12-14)
The worldwide decline in amphibians has been attributed to several causes, especially habitat loss and disease. We identified a further factor, namely habitat split- defined as human- induced disconnection between habitats ...
