Interactions between Eastern Newts and Wood Frogs in an anthropogenically altered wetland system in eastern Kentucky
… wetlands of the ridge-top ecosystem support an amphibian community assemblage characterized by species with short larval periods (e.g., Wood Frogs [<em>Lithobates sylvaticus<em>] and Marbled Salamanders [<em>Ambystoma opacum<em>]). Over the last 25 years, hundreds of wetlands have been …

Using eDNA to construct community assemblages of amphibians at sites infected with Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans in the Netherlands.
Amphibians worldwide are in decline with one of the main culprits being the fungal disease chytridiomycosis. This fungus affects the skin of amphibians, leading to excessive skin shedding or skin lesions which, in many cases, result in death. The recently discovered Batrachochytrium …
