Skin bacterial community differences among three species of co-occurring Ranid frogs.

Skin microbial communities are an essential part of host health and can play a role in mitigating disease. Host and environmental factors can shape and alter these microbial communities and, therefore, we need to understand to what extent these factors influence microbial communities and how this can impact disease dynamics. Microbial communities have been studied in amphibian systems due to skin microbial communities providing some resistance to the amphibian chytrid fungus, .

DNA metabarcoding reveals that coyotes in New York City consume wide variety of native prey species and human food.
