Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Bd (Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis), the fungus causing chytrid infection in amphibians, thrives in cooler temperatures and struggles at temperatures above 28°C. Cooler months and higher altitudes typically have lower temperatures, providing a more suitable environment for Bd to grow and infect amphibians.
