Movement, both within an individual's home range and at the scale of dispersal, is a
fundamental aspect of an animal's life. The field of movement ecology has established a …

Pathogen-induced population declines and extinction events have been recognized as main
threats to amphibian species around the globe. However, the ecological drivers underlying …

Worldwide, amphibians are threatened by several factors including climate change and
pathogens. One emerging fungal pathogen, Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans (Bsal) has …

Invasive species and emerging infectious diseases are two of the greatest threats to
biodiversity. American Bullfrogs (Rana [Lithobates] catesbeiana), which have been …

American bullfrogs Lithobates catesbeianus are thought to be important in the global spread
of ranaviruses—often lethal viruses of cold-blooded vertebrates—because they are …

Because host species tend to harbor multiple parasitic species, coinfection in a host is
common. The chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) and the viruses in the …

Amphibian population declines have been associated with emerging diseases including
ranaviruses, which can cause mass die‐offs across entire amphibian communities …

While ranaviruses were initially a focus of scientific study primarily among virologists, the
continued and growing interest in them stems largely from their impacts on host populations …

In an era where emerging infectious diseases are a serious threat to biodiversity,
epidemiological patterns need to be identified, particularly the complex mechanisms driving …

Ranaviruses are globally distributed pathogens in amphibian, fish, and reptile communities
that appear to be emerging. Cases of ranavirus infection or disease have been confirmed in …
