Invasive fish disrupt host-pathogen dynamics leading to amphibian declines
Rosa, Gonçalo M.; Ayala Botto, Gonçalo; Mitra, Amartya T.; Almeida, João Simões de; Hofmann, Max; Leung, William T.M.; Alves de Matos, António PedroSudden disease outbreaks may not necessarily reflect a recent pathogen introduction but may instead arise from the disruption of a host-pathogen equilibrium. Together with invasive species, emerging pathogens pose significant threats to biodiversity. The dynamics of each stressor have been studied separately, yet rarely when interacting. Using a 40-year dataset, we tested the hypothesis that the introduction of...
