Genetic management of an amphibian population after a chytridiomycosis outbreak

2015-02-01

Abstract excerpt

An epidemic of the disease chytridiomycosis, caused by the pathogenic fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis, induced a massive decline of populations of the common midwife toad (Alytes obstetricans) inhabiting the Peñalara Massif (Guadarrama National Park, Central Spain) in the years 1997–2001. The disease outbreak caused the disappearance of about 90 % of populations, leaving only eight remnant breeding populatio...
