Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) is a pathogen killing amphibians worldwide. Its impact across much of Asia is poorly characterized. This study systematically surveyed amphibians for Bd across rocky plateaus in the northern section of the Western...

Micro-habitat distribution drives patch quality for sub-tropical rocky plateau amphibians in the northern Western Ghats, India (2018)
Journal Article
Thorpe, C. J., Lewis, T. R., Kulkarni, S., Watve, A., Gaitonde, N., Pryce, D., …Knight, M. E. (2018). Micro-habitat distribution drives patch quality for sub-tropical rocky plateau amphibians in the northern Western Ghats, India. PLoS ONE, 13(3), Article e0194810. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0194810

The importance of patch quality for amphibians is frequently overlooked in distribution models. Here we demonstrate that it is highly important for the persistence of endemic and endangered amphibians found in the threatened and fragile ecosystems th...
