Rapid Global Expansion of the Fungal Disease Chytridiomycosis into Declining and Healthy Amphibian Populations
Explore this paper's citation graph
Summary
The molecular population genetics of a global collection of fungal strains from both declining and healthy amphibian populations are addressed using DNA sequence variation from 17 nuclear loci and a large fragment from the mitochondrial genome, providing evidence that the observed genotypic variation can be generated by loss of heterozygosity through mitotic recombination.
