Fecha de publicación: | 12-dic-2000 | Editor: | Elsevier | Citación: | Biological Conservation, 97 (3) : 331-337 (2001) | Resumen: | During the summers of 1997, 1998 and 1999 mass mortality episodes of post-metamorphic common midwife toads (Alytes obstetricans) occurred in a protected area in central Spain. The population su ered a sharp decline, disappearing from 86% of the ponds where they were known to reproduce some years ago. Scanning electron microscopy and histological techniques revealed the presence of a chytridiomycosis infection in the skin of the toads. This evidence supports chytridiomycosis as the most plausible cause of the decline of the species in the area. This is the ®rst report of an apparent chytridium-caused amphibian decline in Europe. | Descripción: | 7 páginas, 3 figuras, 1 table.. | Versión del editor: | http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/S0006-3207(00)00132-4 | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10261/51608 | DOI: | 10.1016/S0006-3207(00)00132-4 | ISSN: | 0006-3207 |
