- Unveiling a legacy of fish introductions to mountain lakes using historical records and eDNA surveys in a National Park
Samuel J. Brenkman, Jeffrey J. Duda, Rebecca M. McCaffery et al. · Frontiers in Conservation Science · 2026-01 · open access
Across the western United States, introductions of non-native fish into historically fishless mountain lakes have impacted native biota. Understanding the impacts of fish introductions is essential for conservation in Olympic National Park, a Biosphere Reserve. We reconstructed fish plantings using…
- Skin Bacteriome Structure and Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis Prevalence Differs Amongst Two Sympatric Salamanders in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Norwood A, Jamora J, Madison M et al. · Environmental microbiology · 2025-07
- Tetrodotoxin, fungal pathogen infection, and bacterial microbiome associations are variable in the skin microecosystems of two Taricha newt species
Talon Jost, Alysha Henderson, Brandon C. LaBumbard et al. · Frontiers in Amphibian and Reptile Science · 2025-01 · open access
A diverse metabolome exists on amphibian skin that mediates interactions between hosts and skin microbiomes. Tetrodotoxin is one such metabolite that occurs across a variety of taxa, and is particularly well studied in newts of the genus Taricha that are susceptible to infection with chytrid fungi.…
- Feral frogs, native newts, and chemical cues: identifying threats from and management opportunities for invasive African Clawed Frogs in Washington state.
Anderson D, Cervantez O, Bucciarelli GM et al. · PeerJ · 2024-05 · open access
Invasive species threaten biodiversity globally. Amphibians are one of the most threatened vertebrate taxa and are particularly sensitive to invasive species, including other amphibians. African clawed frogs ( Xenopus laevis ) are native to Southern Africa but have subsequently become invasive on…

- Environmental DNA ‐based detection of pathogens in trade and captive settings: Best practices and validation for Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans
Jesse L. Brunner, Christian M. Yarber, Robert A. I. Pearhill et al. · Methods in Ecology and Evolution · 2023-09 · open access
Abstract Detecting pathogens in the live animal trade is critical for tracking and preventing their movement, introduction and spillover into susceptible fauna. However, the scale of the live animal trade makes individually testing animals infeasible for all but the most economically important…

- Electrolyte imbalances and dehydration play a key role in Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans chytridiomycosis.
Sheley WC, Gray MJ, Wilber MQ et al. · Frontiers in veterinary science · 2023-01 · open access
1. Introduction Over the past five decades, chytridiomycosis has been responsible for the decline of >500 amphibian species, and the extinction of nearly 90 amphibian species, culminating in what has been described as the greatest documented loss of vertebrate biodiversity due to a pathogen. The…

- Cracking The Mystery Of Crater Lake’s Unique Newts
Andrew M. Ray, Stephen F. Spear, Scott F. Girdner et al. · Frontiers for Young Minds · 2022-05 · open access
Why does Earth have such an incredible variety of plants and animals? One little newt helps tell the story. In Crater Lake, the world’s clearest lake, a uniquely colored newt was discovered. Early explorers named it the Mazama newt. For more than 100 years, the newt has been considered a subspecies…
- Vertebral anomalies in a natural population of Taricha granulosa (Caudata: Salamandridae)
Marylène Danto, Jimmy A. McGuire · Zoomorphology · 2022-05 · open access
Abstract Developmental plasticity, a common pattern in lissamphibian evolution, results in numerous alternative morphologies among species and also within populations. In the present study, a natural population of the salamander Taricha granulosa (Salamandridae) was examined to detect variation in…
