4 Endangered and Extinct Amphibians Where did the following, most likely extinct, species of amphibians live? Golden Toad, last seen in 1989 in Gastric Brooding Frog, last seen in 1985 in Mesopotamia Beaked Toad, last seen in 1914 in Jackson s Climbing Salamander, last seen in 1975 in African Painted Frog, last seen in 1950 in The greatest threat to amphibian species is habitat loss due to human activities. What human activities affect the amphibian population? Research Activity 2 * Print this worksheet about endangered and extinct * Read the information (on the following slide) about viral and fungal diseases that affect Which diseases were responsible for a rapid decline in amphibian populations in many parts of the world during the 1980s and 1990s? * Use the internet to find information about extinct Populations of amphibians are declining at an alarming rate world wide. What recommendations would you make to stop this trend?
5 Viral and Fungal Diseases Affect Amphibians World-Wide Amphibians are the most threatened of all vertebrates. According to the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) 41% of all amphibians already face extinction. So outbreaks of deadly strains of viral and fungal diseases make their future look quite bleak. Outbreaks of a virus called Ranavirus, which affects cold blooded animals such as amphibians and fish, were first recorded in the 1980s. The virus is responsible for declines in amphibian population in the United Kingdom, the United States of America and Canada. Outbreaks have also been detected in Europe and Australia. In 2014, suspected new strains of Ranavirus were thought to be responsible for deadly outbreaks of disease that killed frogs, toads and newt species in Northern Spain. Widespread mortality of amphibians has also been caused by a type of chytrid fungus. Outbreaks of chytridiomycosis (disease caused by chytrid fungus) were first noticed in the early 1990s. A new strain called Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) was detected in Since then Bd has spread to all continents with populations of Chytridiomycosis can be treated with application of antifungal cream. However this is not a practical treatment for the wild population. Chytridiomycosis is thought to be responsible for the rapid decline of some amphibian populations. This includes the probable extinction of the Northern species of Darwin s Frog (rhinoderma rufum) as well as the rapid decline of the Southern species of Darwin s Frog (rhinoderma darwinii).
