Mass Amphibian Mortality during Overwintering Related To Fungal Pathogen But Not Larval Environment: An Explanation for Declines?

This study shows that Bd exposure reduces overwintering survival in northern leopard frogs, but larval environment does not affect Bd impact, suggesting overwintering mortality as a key factor in amphibian population declines.

Host Diet Influences Lethal and Sublethal Responses of Hosts to Amphibian Pathogen Exposure

This study shows that host diet affects the severity of Bd infection in amphibians, with lower food leading to greater negative impacts on survival and growth in some species.
