Amphibians in tropical regions are showing strong resistance to a deadly fungal disease, researchers at Queen’s University Belfast have found. However, those in colder climates are not faring so well. It assesses how amphibians are being affected both in tropical regions as well as in colder climates. This is the first research to show the increasing impact on these amphibian species at this scale,” he added. Hopefully conservation action can be sped up while there is still time to prevent the mass declines seen in tropical climates, he added.
