A tale of two lineages: unexpected, long‐term persistence of the amphibian‐killing fungus in <scp>B</scp>razil
For the past 17 years, scientists have been compiling a list of amphibian species susceptible to infection by the amphibian‐killing chytrid fungus, B atrachochytrium dendrobatidis ( Bd ), all over the world, with >500 species infected on every continent except Antarctica (Olson et al . ). Whe...
