Over 41% of amphibian species are threatened with extinction. The challenges they face are huge—but so are the successes. I'm honored to contribute to this new paper offering a rare optimistic look at amphibian conservation.

🌍✨ Why genome sequence mega-diverse countries?
A handful of countries hold >70% of Earth’s terrestrial biodiversity — packed with species found nowhere else. These places are evolution’s playground… and extinction’s front line.

Targeted genetic intervention provides a new tool for #conservation to help corroboree frogs persist despite threats such as chytridiomycosis, reports @tiffanykosch.bsky.social #ICCB2025
And not only did we find a range of phenotypic variation across the species, from susceptible
➡️ tolerant ➡️ resistant.
But we also found significant differences in outcomes and influences between repeated experimental exposures in this Critically Endangered #frog 🐸
