The amphibian chytrid fungus (Bd) isn't one thing - Bd lineages differ in their impacts

We document the global distribution of Bd lineages, possible Bd hybrids, & describe a new lineage common across Asia

Great new work by & many colleagues!

The Costa Rica Brook Frog has a very small population of an estimated 150 individuals or fewer, spread across a few distinct sites. Their initial decline is believed to have some relation to the chytrid fungus and habitat loss. Their population appears to be on a slow rebound.
