Epidemic Disease and Amphibian Declines in Australia
Hero J and Gillespie GR. 1997. Epidemic Disease and Amphibian Declines in Australia. Conservation Biology. 11(4):1023-1025
This is a response to an article proposing that "epidemic disease is the most likely agent" responsible for amphibian declines in Australian rain forests. This article posits that this is an untested hypothesis, and additional evidence should be considered before the disease hypothesis is adopted as the explanation.
