Invasive frogs carry amphibian-killing fungus
|
20.5.2013 |
LA Times: Science |
A study links African clawed frogs, which were brought to California decades ago for use in pregnancy tests, with a deadly pathogen.
African clawed frogs were first brought to California decades ago to help doctors figure out whether their patients were pregnant. After new technology made those pregnancy tests obsolete, the creatures were let loose, and thrived for decades in the state's drainage ditches and ponds. |

Frog Fungus and the Pregnancy Test of Doom
|
17.5.2013 |
Greenlight | OnEarth Magazine, from NRDC |
| By Jason Bittel
Things are not going well for frogs. A type of fungus known as chytrid has decimated populations around the globe, causing the serious decline or extinction of 200 species. Even worse, scientists believe chytrid is capable of infecting most of the world’s 6,000-some amphibian varieties -- an event that would likely be cataclysmic for food chains worldwide . Luckily, a paper published in the online journal PLOS One this week offers some insight about how chytrid might have first spread -- and perhaps how to stop it.
But I have to warn you: it’s about to get a little weird.
It involves pregnancy tests. Nowadays we’ve got plastic, pastel-colored sticks with plus-signs and smiley faces to tell women when they’re expecting. But in the 1930s, those didn’t exist. Back then, women gave a sample of their urine to a scientist, who then promptly injected it into the hind leg of an African clawed frog ( Xenopus laevis ). If the woman was truly pregnant, her urine would contain ... |

EarthTalk: Climate Change and Hawaii’s Coral Reefs
|
16.5.2013 |
Climate Change News - ENN |
Despite sweeping protections put in place near the end of George W. Bush's presidency for large swaths of marine ecosystems around the Hawaiian Islands, things are not looking good for Hawaii’s coral reefs. Poisonous run-off, rising ocean levels, increasingly acidic waters and overfishing are taking their toll on the reefs and the marine life they support. Biologists are trying to remain optimistic that there is still time to turn things around, but new threats to Hawaii's corals are only aggravating the situation... |
