Scheele (Reports, 29 March 2019, p. 1459) bring needed attention to the effects of amphibian infectious disease. However, the data and methods implicating the disease chytridiomycosis in 501 amphibian species declines are deficient. Which species are affected, and how many, remains a critical unanswered question. Amphibians are imperiled; protective actions require public support and robust science.
舍勒(报告,2019 年 3 月 29 日,第 1459 页)引起了人们对两栖动物传染病影响的关注。然而,将疾病壶菌病与 501 种两栖动物物种减少联系起来的数据和方法是不充分的。受影响的物种有哪些,以及有多少,仍然是一个关键的未解决的问题。两栖动物处于危险之中;保护行动需要公众的支持和强有力的科学。
