Roland, Tom, and colleagues Max Joseph (Planet, CU Boulder ), Mark Wilber (U. Tennesee), and Rob Grasso (Yosemite National Park) are celebrating new work just published in Nature Communications! This article synthesizes decades of frog recovery work, including frog translocations, capture-mark-recapture population studies, disease quantification, and mathematical modeling. Take away: frogs in Yosemite have adapted to live with Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis, and that evolution can be leveraged to facilitate recovery on a landscape scale. Read the full article here:
