first survey for the amphibian chytrid fungus batrachochytrium dendrobatidis in connecticut (usa) finds widespread prevalence.	the amphibian chytrid fungus batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (bd) is an emerging infectious fungal pathogen of amphibians and is linked to global population declines. until now, there has only been 1 survey for the fungus in the northeastern usa, which focused primarily on northern new england. we tested for bd in a large number of samples (916 individuals from 116 sites) collected throughout the state of connecticut, representing 18 native amphibian species. in addition, 239 preserved wood frog ...	2013	23446966
forest mediated light regime linked to amphibian distribution and performance.	the vegetation in and around the basins of ephemeral wetlands can greatly affect light environments for aquatic species such as amphibians. we used hemispherical photographs to quantify the light environment in terms of the global site factor (gsf), the proportion of available solar radiation that actually strikes the wetland. we compared gsf to the distribution and performance of two amphibian species (pseudacris crucifer and rana sylvatica) within 17 ephemeral wetlands in northeastern connecti ...	2003	12647143
