- Trait‐mediated thermal responses and multi‐axis spatiotemporal niche partitioning between coexisting top predators in ponds
Jason R. Rohr · Oikos · 2026-09 · open access
Understanding how physiological constraints scale up to realized niche differences remains a central challenge in functional ecology. Temperature strongly influences metabolic performance, activity, and habitat selection in ectotherms, yet few field studies quantify how thermal responses interact…
- Microbial metacommunity ecology: Using null models and networks to understand assembly in a salamander disease system
Randall R. Jiménez, Piper Thacher, Owen G. Osborne et al. · Ecosphere · 2026-07 · open access
Abstract Animals host diverse microbiomes crucial for their health, which subsequently influence their function in ecosystems. Metacommunity theory offers a useful framework to understand the processes driving host‐associated microbiome assembly across scales, linking regional environmental…
- Replace, reduce, refine: A review of animal use in Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans research
Alexandra Boren, David Lesbarrères, Allison Q. Byrne · Conservation Science and Practice · 2026-05 · open access
Abstract Animal experimentation is common in wildlife disease research. Understanding the impact of this often‐lethal approach is therefore a critical line of inquiry at the intersection of animal welfare and conservation biology. The discovery of the pathogenic salamander chytrid fungus…

- Early season diet of the Red-spotted Newt, Notophthalmus viridescens viridescens, from artificial vernal pools in south-central Pennsylvania: A possible trade-off between survival and reproduction
Walter E. Meshaka, Cheyenne L. Moore, Eugene Wingert · Reptiles & Amphibians · 2026-01 · open access
- Many roads to reservoirs? How susceptibility and shedding shape host competence in amphibians
Joseph A. DeMarchi, Edward Davis Carter, Matthew J. Gray et al. · Functional Ecology · 2026-01 · open access
Abstract Host competence—the ability to acquire, harbour and transmit infections—drives pathogen spread and persistence in multi‐host communities. Evaluating species‐specific competence is critical for predicting transmission, particularly for generalist fungal pathogens like Batrachochytrium…
- Hosts, pathogens and hot ponds: thermal mean and variability contribute to spatial patterns of chytrid infection
Brendan K. Hobart, Daniel A. Grear, Megan E. Winzeler et al. · Oikos · 2025-11
- Retrospective Analysis of Parasites in Wild-Caught Eastern Newts (Notophthalmus viridescens) Experimentally Exposed to Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans.

- Environmental temperature and pathogen dose affect histologic lesion count and severity in Notophthalmus viridescens infected with Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans
Wesley C. Sheley, Mark Q. Wilber, Edward Davis Carter et al. · Frontiers in Amphibian and Reptile Science · 2025-09 · open access
Introduction Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans (Bsal) was discovered a decade ago in Europe, where it is emerging and decimating salamander populations. North America, a global hotspot for salamander biodiversity, faces risk of Bsal introduction through trade or other pathways. An abundant…
- Natural recolonization of the amphibian skin bacterial community following disruption by antibiotics.

- Independent and interactive effects of disease and methylmercury on demographic rates across multiple amphibian populations.
Kain MP, Hossack BR, Smalling KL et al. · Scientific reports · 2025-05 · open access
Introduction Infectious diseases, whether alone or in conjunction with other stressors such as habitat loss and environmental contaminants, remain a growing threat to global biodiversity,. Effects from pathogens are often most detectable during epizootic stages characterized by high transmission,…

- Dermal glucocorticoids are uncoupled from stress physiology and infection.
Quadros V, Inman B, McDonnell N et al. · Conservation physiology · 2025-02 · open access
Introduction Along with declining global biodiversity trends, amphibian extinction rates continue to climb in the 21st century, resulting in an ongoing biodiversity crisis. Although all groups of vertebrates are under pressure, amphibians are particularly susceptible to the climactic and…

Lauren Sherman, Christopher D. Barton, Jacquelyn C. Guzy et al. · Water · 2024-04 · open access
Habitat restoration and creation within human-altered landscapes can buffer the impacts of climate change on wildlife. The Forestry Reclamation Approach (FRA) is a coal surface mine reclamation practice that enhances reforestation through soil decompaction and the planting of native trees.…
