Fungal infection, decline and persistence in the only obligate troglodytic Neotropical salamander

The fungal pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) is implicated in global mass die-offs and declines in amphibians. In Mesoamerica, the Bd epidemic wave hypothesis is supported by detection of...

2/ SF: also stable. 397 Covid cases, 23 new today (graph). 6 deaths, no new. Contrast w/ NY still stunning: 43,139 cases (up 5052 since yest) w/ 182 new deaths (now >1000). Unimaginable. Now 2 wks since SF shelter-in-place order, so all pre-shelter cases seen, adding to optimism

8/12 We find some real-world evidence of “flattening the curve” in the province of Lodi where harsh movement restrictions were enacted quickly (Feb 23rd) vs later in Bergamo (March 8th). #flatteningthecurve

Does anyone else panic data analyze/plot? The situation in Madrid is getting more dire. All shops are closed except for supermarkets. Nobody is allowed out except for food, work, or emergencies. I plotted the exponential growth of COVID19 cases. US is 2 days behind.

Nueva publicación. Costa Rica: el hongo quítrido se registra desde 1964, mucho antes de las disminuciones poblaciones de anfibios de los años 1980s. 🤔 Interesante publicación de @MDeLeon_frogger @GarciarAdrian @wavingfrog et al. journals.plos.org/plosone/ar…

This photo makes me: a) want to jump on top of a chair and scream in fear b) extremely happy c) want to check those ears for ectoparasites If you answered b and c, you may want to consider applying for a seasonal field technician job in the Swei Lab wfscjobs.tamu.edu/jobs/vecto…

La investigadora @vickyflechas y su equipo hicieron un importante descubrimiento que puede salvar a miles de anfibios en el mundo. Escribí sobre esto para el periódico de hoy en @ELTIEMPO eltiempo.com/vida/medio-ambi…

Dos ranas colombianas podrían salvar a miles de anfibios - El Tiempo

Estudio probó que estos animales pueden evitar la infección de un hongo que mata a los de su tipo.
