Description
Veronica Saenz and co-authors study a frog killing fungus across a pond landscape in a 2024 paper. The fungus, called Bd, cannot stand drying, so its spread may depend on water and on the frogs that carry it. The team paired frog surveys with lab tests for the fungus and its gene types in a mix of lasting and short lived ponds.
Early in spring, frogs at short lived ponds carried less of the fungus. Later the rates matched across pond types, with body temperature tracing a humped pattern. Frogs that winter on land arrived infected first. Frogs from lasting ponds later visited and carried more fungus, which suggests they move it across the land.
