Fungal Pathogen Changes the Feeding Kinematics of Larval Anurans

Pathogens can alter host life-history traits by affecting host feeding activities. In anuran tadpoles, keratinized mouthparts (teeth and jaw sheaths) are essential for feeding. Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) is a pathogenic fungus of amphibians that can infect these mouthparts and reduce tadpol...
