Over 41% of amphibian species are threatened with extinction. The challenges they face are huge—but so are the successes. I'm honored to contribute to this new paper offering a rare optimistic look at amphibian conservation. 👉rdcu.be/eQPL7

🌍✨ Why genome sequence mega-diverse countries? A handful of countries hold >70% of Earth’s terrestrial biodiversity — packed with species found nowhere else. These places are evolution’s playground… and extinction’s front line. #Biodiversity 🌿 #GenomeSequencing 🧬 #Genomics 🔬 #ConservationGenomics 🌍

Targeted genetic intervention provides a new tool for #conservation to help corroboree frogs persist despite threats such as chytridiomycosis, reports @tiffanykosch.bsky.social #ICCB2025

Hey All, plz repost, and share with grads, post-docs and disease folks! We are hiring a post-doc to work on mechanisms of immune responses of frog hosts to Bd infections. Deadline is February 1, 2025. Details for the position can be found at the link below. 🐸🐸🐸 zamudiolab.org/2024/12/17/p...

Post-Doc position in the KZLab! Immune responses to pathogen infections in frogs

We are looking for an NSF-funded post-doc in our lab in the Department of Integrative Biology at the University of Texas at Austin. The work will examine immune mechanisms that potentially underlie…

And not only did we find a range of phenotypic variation across the species, from susceptible ➡️ tolerant ➡️ resistant. But we also found significant differences in outcomes and influences between repeated experimental exposures in this Critically Endangered #frog 🐸
