@epcn.bsky.socialCan active #mining sites support #amphibians?
A study of 55 #ponds in #German mining landscapes recorded multiple threatened amphibian species. Field #surveys and #eDNA #metabarcoding revealed the #conservation value of these heterogeneous #wetland habitats.
@globalmuseum.bsky.socialMuseum specimens reveal pathogen behind decades-old mystery of disappearing frogs.
Chytridiomycosis, commonly known as chytrid, is caused by the microscopic fungal pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis.

@royalsocietypublishing.orgFor #amphibians impacted by a widespread fungal pathogen, temperature is an important link between the host and the fungus. Zoo breeding programs provide opportunities to alter environments prior to release. This #RSOS paper investigated this on endangered #frogs: doi.org/10.1098/rsos...

Fun fact: Most amphibians lay eggs and leave them behind, but male hellbenders are dedicated parents.

@psubiodept.bsky.socialExciting to see Penn State Biology research featured in Popular Science! 🐸🦠
The story highlights new work from the Becker Lab on how skin bacteria can help protect frogs from fungal disease.
Read the feature:
www.popsci.com/environment/...
@museumofscience.bsky.socialThis mucus has adhesive and cohesive properties, letting the tree frog stick to surfaces in a process called wet adhesion. This adaptation helps tree frogs defy gravity, even on wet tree leaves or bark.
@psumbiome.bsky.socialNew research from Gui Becker's Lab shows how frog skin bacteria may help protect against chytrid fungus, highlighting the microbiome’s role in host defense.

@nonviolence.bsky.socialOnly 0.7% of #spiders remain compared to a 40 years baseline.
Spiders, like insects, evolved from arthropods. They walked and lived on land for ages before the first #amphibians or mammals or #dinosaurs (birds) evolved on land.
Ques que c'est (near-term human) #extinction?
![To sum up, the findings of this study support the notion by other researchers that we now live in the midst of an ecological crisis in which trophic webs are being eroded and degraded as a result of adverse, man-made environmental impacts [13,67,73,75,76]. If this disastrous trend cannot be halted or even reversed in the very near future, “entire ecosystems will collapse due to starvation”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_fullsize/plain/did:plc:rdwoizey4rgr5p67zfdiqhx2/bafkreibc6gx6zxxhl6f6m4pygjzykcym6d3hpcktpzth54ctzp332uizx4@jpeg)
