Gloger's rule is an ecogeographical rule that links animal colouration with climatic variation.
This rule is named after CWL Gloger who was one of the first to summarise the associations …

Parasites, including viruses, bacteria, fungi, protists, helminths, and arthropods, are
ubiquitous in the animal kingdom. Consequently, hosts are frequently infected with more …

The recent global spread of the amphibian‐killing fungus [B atrachochytrium dendrobatidis
(Bd)] has been closely tied to anthropogenic activities; however, regional patterns of spread …

In the approximately 30 years since the recognition of the crisis of global amphibian
declines, much has been learned about the likely causes. Among the leading causes are …

Fluctuating environments can modulate host–pathogen interactions by providing a
temporary advantage to one of the interacting organisms. However, we know very little about …

With the incidence of emerging infectious diseases on the rise, it is becoming increasingly
important to identify refuge areas that protect hosts from pathogens and therefore prevent …

Deforestation has detrimental consequences on biodiversity, affecting species interactions
at multiple scales. The associations among vertebrates, pathogens and their …

Dispersal and exposure to amphibian chytrid fungus (Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis, Bd) is
not confined to the aquatic habitat, but little is known about pathways that facilitate exposure …

Identifying determinants of the probability and intensity of infections is important for
understanding the epidemiology of wildlife diseases, and for managing their impact on …

Amphibian chytridiomycosis, caused by infection with Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd),
is the most devastating vertebrate disease on record. Reservoir hosts are likely to be …
