Ranked probability of avoiding extinction through captive breeding for Panamanian
amphibian species perceived to be most susceptible to Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd)
Dr. Woodhams contributed expertise on Panamanian amphibians to a risk assessment and probability of avoiding extinctions through captive breeding programs. The expert assessment approach refines priorities for captive amphibian programs in Panama and identifies priority conservation actions with a clearer understanding of the probability of success.
