Short-term exposure to warm microhabitats could explain amphibian persistence with Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis.
Environmental conditions can alter the outcomes of symbiotic interactions. Many amphibian species have declined due to chytridiomycosis, caused by the pathogenic fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd), but many others persist despite high Bd infection prevalence. This indicates that Bd's vi...
