Mitigating a fungal pandemic in amphibians by steering aquatic micropredator communities Ghent University
The fungal disease chytridiomycosis has globally caused massive declines and even extinctions of amphibian populations. To date, no measures to control chytridiomycosis in natural amphibian populations exist. We propose manipulation of the aquatic environment as a measure to increase the chances of amphibians to survive in nature in the presence of chytridiomycosis, by limiting the disease’s impact on the amphibian populations. This proposal ...
