Pathogenesis of Chytridiomycosis, a Cause of Catastrophic Amphibian Declines
Abstract
Croaking Frogs: The global amphibian decline has been attributed, among other causes, to an amphibian skin disease chytridiomycosis caused by the fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis . However, how this pathogen causes mortality has been unclear. Voyles et al. (p. 582 ) show that this superficial skin infection may lead to cardiac failure owing to changes caused by lowered ion transport through the skin and consequent electrolyte reduction in the blood.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
