Survival of amphibian assemblages is threatened by many factors. Among them, chytridiomycosis, the disease caused by the chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) has great importance,
Recently, microbiologists have focused on characterizing the probiotic role of skin bacteria for amphibians threatened by the fungal disease chytridiomycosis. However, the specific characteristics of
In our exploratory analysis, we built models for all possible combinations of the a priori covariates and eliminated covariates that had low predictive power. X indicates the best fitting model, based
