Widespread amphibian extinctions from epidemic disease driven by global warming
Explore this paper's citation graph
Summary
It is shown that a recent mass extinction associated with pathogen outbreaks is tied to global warming, and it is proposed that temperatures at many highland localities are shifting towards the growth optimum of Batrachochytrium, thus encouraging outbreaks.
