A deadly fungus is killing frogs, but the bacteria on their skin could protect them

E-Mail Researchers in Costa Rica have found that some bacteria on the skin of amphibians prevent growth of the fungus responsible for what has been dubbed the amphibian apocalypse . Published in the journal Microbiology, the research identified a number of bacteria which could growth of the fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd). One particularly dangerous strain of the fungus, called BdGPL-2, is responsible for mass amphibian die-offs around the world. The fungus infects the skin of amphibians, breaking down the cells. As amphibians breathe and regulate water through their skin, infection is often deadly. It is believed that almost 700 species of amphibian are vulnerable to the fungus, and Bd has led to the extinction of 90 amphibian species.

How the world’s largest rhino population dropped by 70 percent in a decade Dina Fine Maron © None Many rhinos on private reserves in South Africa these are at John Hume’s game ranch in Nelspruit are dehorned to reduce the chance of their being killed by poachers. But horns grow back every few years, making this a costly strategy for cash-strapped public parks such as Kruger. Rhinos in Kruger, the jewel of South Africa’s national parks, are in trouble. The park’s rhino numbers have dropped by about 70 percent during the past decade, largely because of poaching and its knock-on effects for breeding and calf survival, according to a new assessment from South African National Parks (SANparks), which manages Kruger and the country’s 18 other major parks.

At WCSU, research continues despite COVID

At WCSU, research continues despite COVID Written by WCSU Despite the limitations imposed by the Novel Coronavirus, graduate-level research conducted by students pursuing master’s degrees in Integrative Biological Diversity at Western Connecticut State University continues under the mentorship of department faculty. Professor of Biological and Environmental Studies Dr. Theodora Pinou, who coordinates the M.S. in Integrative Biological Diversity program, said, “Covid-19 doesn’t stop research, it causes us to get creative about project design and project management. Covid-19 has opened a whole new interest in outdoor experiences, and this can have negative consequences on the environment unless we pay attention to how humans are impacting the environmental health of our ecosystems. Now, more than ever, this Integrated Biological Diversity degree is important to teach a generation of adults proper practices in environmental stewardship and personal responsibility tha
