The Leaning Tower of Amphibia
http://www.impactlab.net/2008/11/14/doubts-in-global-warming-link-to-amphibian-declines/
Amphibian populations are crashing; nearly one third of the world’s 6140 species is threatened with extinction (Stuart et. al. 2004). Although amphibian declines have been strongly linked to habitat destruction, degradation, fragmentation, and changes in global temperature (Blaustein 1995, Davidson 2006),Amphibian declines associated with disease have caused mass mortality in pristine habitat. This is of great alarm to conservation biologist.
