- Abstract
The article presents a study that explores the function of occupancy models in the data evaluation of the studies of Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) occurrence. It mentions that the researchers examined the occurrence and prevalence of the pathogen in amphibian population. The result shows that the probability of pathogen detection was associated with human activities and amphibian developmental stage. It cites that the occurrence of Bd in native amphibians was 53.4% of 78 populations.
