This study compares immunogenetic and microbiome diversity in two toad species across latitudes, finding species-level differences in MHC diversity and microbiome composition that may affect disease susceptibility.

This study examines how eastern Baltic cod larvae use salinity and light to navigate, finding they avoid low-salinity surface waters and align their behavior with neutral buoyancy.

This study tests if northern Baltic cod are adapted to low salinity at early life stages by comparing survival and traits between northern and southern populations.

The study examines how the skin microbiome of Eastern Baltic cod relates to body size and environmental conditions in two populations.

The paper detects Ranavirus in two of three locations in southeastern Sweden, marking the first confirmed occurrence in the Scandinavian peninsula.

This study examines behavioural changes in Rana arvalis along a latitudinal gradient, finding reversed behavioural patterns between tadpole and froglet stages.

The paper investigates latitudinal variation in MHC diversity and its impact on survival in common toads infected with two strains of Bd-GPL, finding lower survival in northern toads with reduced MHC diversity.

The paper develops and evaluates non-lethal protocols for isolating chytrid fungi from amphibians, showing their global application and effectiveness in recovering fungal isolates.
