| estimating how inflated or obscured effects of climate affect forecasted species distribution. | climate is one of the main drivers of species distribution. however, as different environmental factors tend to co-vary, the effect of climate cannot be taken at face value, as it may be either inflated or obscured by other correlated factors. we used the favourability models of four species (alytes dickhilleni, vipera latasti, aquila fasciata and capra pyrenaica) inhabiting spanish mountains as case studies to evaluate the relative contribution of climate in their forecasted favourability by us ... | 2013 | 23349726 |
| evidence for the introduction of lethal chytridiomycosis affecting wild betic midwife toads (alytes dickhilleni). | batrachochytrium dendrobatidis is an unpredictable pathogen for european amphibian species, and existing field surveillance studies likely underestimate the scope of its distribution and effects. mass mortality episodes recorded in europe indicate that investigations of unstudied species should focus on members of the frog family alytidae. here, we report the combined results of a field survey and laboratory observations of field collected alytes dickhilleni. our data support the hypothesis that ... | 2013 | 23494771 |
