Description

Dr. Jenkins sits down with Dr. Julie Ray to talk about Chytrid Fungus, its devastating impacts on tropical frogs, and how snake populations declined in response.  A bit of a depressing episode, but it is fascinating to understand the mechanisms behind the disappearance of tropical snake species.  They also talk about Team Snake Panama and Dr. Ray’s most recent endeavor, Project Northwoods.
