Our findings suggest that the co-occurrence of Bd and Rv does not predict adverse outcomes (e.g., enhanced susceptibility of hosts to one pathogen due to the presence or infection intensity of the other) following an outbreak. Leer más,

Based on fortuitous field sampling, we found a weevil Cratosomus sp. (Coleoptera; Curculionidae) that could possibly be a mimic of the aposematic arrow poison frog Ameerega trivittata (Dendrobatidae). Leer más.
We used the agrochemical fungicide, tebuconazole, to treat Bd infected breeding waterbodies of an endangered species that is highly susceptible to the fungus. Leer más.
