Nice new paper from @ZooLew + co. documenting how an amphibian nasty (ranavirus) can truncate popN structure & ⬆ potential for local extinction when combined with other amphibian nasties & stressors
@beausievers These are the two articles - one in @blueprintmag https://t.co/heb1nArilW and the other in @thePeerJ https://t.co/0mRMaMnmo5 - the first article doesn't by any means fully represent what we do, but is a decent explanation of one side of it...
Latest paper, led by former PhD student @ZooLew - Frog populations infected with virus have fewer old frogs in them, and this makes them more vulnerable to future environmental change. (This research came about while looking for something else, as usual) https://t.co/0mRMaMEXfD
#Ecologie: les individus reproducteurs des populations de #grenouille #Rana #temporaria infectées par le #ranavirus sont + jeunes que ceux des populations indemnes. Cela rend ces populations plus vulnérables https://t.co/M8EDWeRo0j https://t.co/EP8sz9g7W6
