What do all tailless amphibians have in common? How have amphibians adapted to their environment? What adaptations help frogs live in water? What phylum do amphibians belong to? What do amphibians use to reproduce? What is chytridiomycosis, and how does it affect amphibians?
aA dependence on disturbance or instability of some form may also provide a common link between the regulatory effects of parasites considered here, and population scale effects of parasites and disease linked to disease emergence (e.g. chytridiomycosis and DFTD), species invasion (see below), ...

It is important for people to be aware that while treatment for phobias does involve slowly helping people face their fears, this is done in a gradual desensitization. When a patient enters the therapist's office for the first time, the therapist will not plop asalamanderinto the patient's ...

In addition to their relevance as a source of pathogens that may spill over to humans and domestic animals, many wild species are currently threatened by emerging diseases (e.g., white-nose syndrome in bats [3], chytridiomycosis in amphibians [4], or Chlamydia infection in koalas [5]), ...
In the last 20 years, amphibian populations around the world have been decimated by the fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis, the primary cause of chytridiomycosis, in what has been called the greatest disease-driven loss of biodiversity ever documented [87]. Recent genome sequencing analysis ...
