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!!! x.com/acatenazzi/status/7913…

V. Saenz: Bd from Panama still pathogenic, but isolates that are shorter-lived and have larger sporangia kill frogs faster #JMIH16

Brian Todd - models suggest that host CTmax, ambient temp, and canopy cover predict Bd infection. #JMIH16
