Abstrakt: The article examines the impact of the chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) on Columbia spotted frogs, rana luteiventris, in Utah, revealing that these frogs persist with Bd in some regions despite its known detrimental effects on amphibians. The study suggests that while rana luteiventris populations in the Wasatch Range may not be succumbing to chytridiomycosis, they could still face challenges from Bd, potentially affecting their long-term viability.
