Chytridiomycosis is an emerging infectious disease of amphibians that affects over 700
species on all continents where amphibians occur. The amphibian–chytridiomycosis system …

Anthropogenic trade and development have broken down dispersal barriers, facilitating the
spread of diseases that threaten Earth's biodiversity. We present a global, quantitative …

Montane species worldwide are shifting upslope in response to recent temperature
increases. These upslope shifts are predicted to lead to mountaintop extinctions of species …

Animal populations have undergone substantial declines in recent decades. These declines
have occurred alongside rapid, human‐driven environmental change, including climate …

As the Earth warms, many species are likely to disappear, often because of changing
disease dynamics. Here we show that a recent mass extinction associated with pathogen …

The global emergence and spread of the pathogenic, virulent, and highly transmissible
fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis, resulting in the disease chytridiomycosis, has …

Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) is a chytrid fungus that causes chytridiomycosis in
amphibians. Only named in 1999, Bd is a proximate driver of declines in global amphibian …

Background The threats facing Ecuador's Yasuní National Park are emblematic of those
