Lessons From Amphibian Die-off in Panama
Marzo 30, 2018
What slows or stops a disease epidemic if the pathogen is still present? It appears that wild frogs are becoming increasingly resistant to the chytrid fungal disease that has decimated amphibian populations around the world.
Flowers from Darkness
“Tropical forests are the result of an accident of history.” - Carlos Jaramillo.
Abril 23, 2018
About 66 million years ago, a radical change on the Earth filled tropical forests with flowers. A new catalog of fossil pollen grains may hold an explanation.
