Museum specimens solve decades-old frog disappearance mystery
Original: Museum specimens reveal pathogen behind decades-old mystery of disappearing frogs
Researchers have used museum specimens to identify the pathogen responsible for the decades-long mystery of disappearing frog populations. By analyzing preserved frog samples collected over many years, scientists traced the declines to a disease-causing agent, confirming long-standing suspicions about a pathogenic driver of amphibian losses worldwide.
Why now: New research using museum collections has identified the pathogen behind widespread frog declines, a long-running scientific puzzle.
