متن کاملMalformed frogs. Making the leap to humans.
Using Landsat satellite images of vegetation, the researchers were able to classify the different types of crops that had been planted in a three-county area of south central Nebraska. A Landsat satellite sensor detects reflected energy in infrared, red, and green wavelengths. The relative reflected intensity of these wavelengths can be used to identify different types of vegetation. Checking t...
متن کاملIs Chytridiomycosis Driving Darwin’s Frogs to Extinction?
Darwin's frogs (Rhinoderma darwinii and R. rufum) are two species of mouth brooding frogs from Chile and Argentina that have experienced marked population declines. Rhinoderma rufum has not been found in the wild since 1980. We investigated historical and current evidence of Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) infection in Rhinoderma spp. to determine whether chytridiomycosis is implicated in t...
متن کاملEcology: Compensating for Extinction
Food web interactions allow communities to compensate for the loss of species. Compensation of this kind may reshuffle communities so that today's resilient species are tomorrow's vulnerable species, creating a false impression of ecosystem stability following the first wave of extinction.
متن کاملEcology: Dynamics of Indirect Extinction
The experimental identification of the mechanism by which extinctions of predators trigger further predator extinctions emphasizes the role of indirect effects between species in disturbed ecosystems. It also has deep consequences for the hidden magnitude of the current biodiversity crisis.
