Reintroduction of resistant frogs facilitates landscape-scale recovery in the presence of a lethal fungal disease

2023-05-24

Abstract excerpt

Vast alteration of the biosphere by humans is causing a sixth mass extinction, driven in part by an increase in emerging infectious diseases. The emergence of the lethal fungal pathogen ( Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis ; “Bd”) has devastated global amphibian biodiversity, with hundreds of species experiencing declines or extinctions. With no broadly applicable methods available to reverse these impacts in the wil...
