Fig. 1: Significant phylogenetic signature was detected for Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans (Bsal)-induced mortality based on Blomberg’s K (P = 0.002, K = 0.40).

From: Broad host susceptibility of North American amphibian species to Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans suggests high invasion potential and biodiversity risk

Fig. 1

Circles are scaled to indicate percent mortality experienced by individuals exposed to the highest Bsal zoospore dose (5 × 106) (Supplementary Table 1). Colors designate different taxonomic families of amphibians. For the experiments, all species were exposed to Bsal zoospores inoculated in a water bath, except for Siren lacertina, Cryptobranchus alleganiensis, and Necturus maculosus, because these species were too large to fit in the inoculation containers. We pipetted Bsal on to the dorsum of these species (similar to Martel et al.6) at the same doses then put the animals in a water bath (see Supplementary Table 2).
