Examples of intraspecies variation in susceptibility to fungi

Fungal disease	Primary fungal pathogen	Selective species affected	Comments	References
Chalkbrood	Ascosphaera apis	Honeybee	Intracolonial/patrilineal variation in chalkbrood resistance	Invernizzi et al. (2009), Vojvodic et al. (2011), Gerdts et al. (2021)
Chytridiomycosis	Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis	Various amphibian species	For example, in frogs, the wood frog is susceptible, and the American bullfrog is resistant	Eskew et al. (2018), Smith et al. (2022)
	Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans	Various salamandrine species	Lungless salamanders and newts may be particularly vulnerable	Gray et al. (2023), World Organization for Animal Health (2024), Seyedmousavi et al. (2018)
Platypus mucormycosis	Mucor amphibiorum	Tasmanian platypus	Not a typical disease in mainland platypus	Connolly et al. (1998), Webb et al. (2012), Stewart and Munday (2005)
White-nose syndrome	Pseudogymnoascus destructans	Nearctic (North American) bats	Palearctic (Eurasian) bats tolerate disease, without population declines. Asian bats may have higher resistance than those of North America Little brown bats show variation in resistance	Hoyt et al. (2016), Langwig et al. (2017), Zukal et al. (2016)
