Figures
A tropical stream in El Copé, Panama, where a chytrid fungal epidemic caused a >90% decline in amphibian abundance and a >60% decline in species richness. (Inset) One of many dead amphibians infected with Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis. The ecosystem consequences of amphibian declines and extinctions are largely unknown.
