Frogs are very sensitive to changes in their environment. They are the canaries of many ecospheres.

Yep. My brother is tracking the movement of populations to higher altitudes, where they displace other populations, etc. Also tracking the Chytrid Fungus.

In terms of its effect on biodiversity, chytridiomycosis is quite possibly the worst disease in recorded history. First identified in 1998, this potentially lethal skin disease is caused by the chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis, which has been detected on at least 385 species of amphibians from 36 countries.
