Experimental Drought Suppresses Amphibian Pathogen Yet Intensifies Transmission and Disrupts Protective Skin Microbiome This study used ecologically realistic enclosures with pumpkin toadlets to simulate short-term drought conditions in Brazil's Atlantic Forest. Drought reduced the overall levels of a harmful amphibia...
