Infection with the chytrid fungus ( <i>Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis</i> ) may distort sex ratio via sex reversal but not sex-dependent mortality in a common Eurasian amphibian

2023-08-27

Abstract excerpt

One of the major factors driving the currently ongoing biodiversity crisis is the anthropogenic spread of infectious diseases. Diseases can have conspicuous consequences, such as mass mortality events, but may also exert covert but similarly severe effects, such as sex ratio distortion via sex-biased mortality or sex reversal. Chytridiomycosis, caused by the fungal pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) is...
