Caption
An Atlantic Forest treefrog, Aplastodiscus leucopygius, at the edge of a rocky forest stream in Brazil’s Atlantic Forest, transitioning between aquatic and terrestrial environments. New research led by Penn State biologists found that amphibians in connected natural forests and aquatic habitats were more likely to host beneficial skin microbes that inhibit a deadly fungal pathogen.
