Sierra’s yellow-legged frog still threatened, but officials have hope
Roland Knapp, research biologist at the University of California Sierra Nevada Aquatic Laboratory, explained that a fish-less habitat along with increased resistance to chytrid fungus can allow populations to rebound and increase. Knapp’s research findings have shown the frogs being able to adapt to the disease over time. … “I have a lot of hope. I wouldn’t have said that 10 years ago.”
