Awesome piece by @kwren88 on amphibian declines. So important that we remember the devastation caused by disease. goo.gl/tbUaoD

.@AmphibiaWeb @amphibiansorg Awesome work on maternal provisioning in marsupial frogs! More proof that amphibians are awesome!!! xitter.cf/acatenazzi/status/7913…

K. Hovey: alkaloids from poison frogs inhibit two pathogenic bacteria. Alkaloid composition varies among frog pops #JMIH16

V. Saenz: Bd from Panama still pathogenic, but isolates that are shorter-lived and have larger sporangia kill frogs faster #JMIH16
.@brianf0lt Awesome project! Loved the manipulation experiment. #JMIH16
.@brianf0lt we can reject the Guyer hypothesis with respect to herp abundances #JMIH16
.@brianf0lt found that patterns of community composition did not vary by tree species or leaf drop phenology #JMIH16
.@brianf0lt testing the Guyer hypothesis regarding leaf litter and tropical herp communities #JMIH16
.@Julia_E_Earl works to answer questions about the ecosystem services of amphibians #JMIH16
Rick Shine - cane toad allelopathy and competitive ability has rapidly evolved in invading populations. #JMIH16
Rick Shine - cane toad tadpoles appear to have a form of allelopathy, they can suppress the growth of conspecifics #JMIH16
Brian Todd - host CTmax appears particularly important to predicting prevalence in models and field data #JMIH16
Brian Todd - models suggest that host CTmax, ambient temp, and canopy cover predict Bd infection. #JMIH16
Brian Todd explains how host thermal tolerance may predict host Bd infection. #JMIH16
Wonderfully put @S_M_Whitfield! Studying these populations is of utmost importance. #JMIH16
.@S_M_Whitfield "enigmatic survival follows enigmatic decline" - there is hope following Bd! #JMIH16
Roznik & Alford - using remote data logging telemetry to track body temperature and infection by Bd #JMIH16
.@acatenazzi "it appears that maternal transfer is occurring in Gastrotheca excubitor, the first time this has been documented" #JMIH16
