Abstract excerpt
Infectious diseases can cause severe population declines, reducing genetic diversity, ecological function, and prospects for long-term survival. Such declines often result in genetic bottlenecks, with small, isolated populations that are especially vulnerable to extinction due to genetic drift and inbreeding. Chytridiomycosis, caused by Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd), has led to global amphibian declines....
