Seasonality Has Greater Influence on Amphibian Cutaneous Mycobiome than Host Species

Seasonality Has Greater Influence on Amphibian Cutaneous Mycobiome than Host Species

Amphibians face severe threats from chytridiomycosis, and their skin microbiota plays a crucial role in pathogen defense. However, studies on their mycobiomes are limited. We hypothesized that amphibian cutaneous mycobiomes vary with seasonal variations and host species. To test this hypothesis, we...
