  • Poison Frog Population Decline

    718 Words  | 3 Pages

    Around the world, poison frog populations have been declining due to unknown reasons. Two experiments were conducted promptly in order to find the cause of the disappearances. One hypothesis suggested that the poison frogs are in a decline because of an infectious fungus called chytrid fungus. On the contrary, another hypothesis alludes to the idea that decreasing leaf litter is causing the widespread decline. Although it seems that there are multiple reasons for the decline, it is unquestionable that, according to the data from the experiments, that leaf litter is one of the main components of the decreasing population of poison frogs, having multiple replicates of data is important in finding the answer to the decline, and that there is much more to investigate about this problem.

It appears the species was introduced from its original habitat in North America in the early 1900s in Colorado and California and the introduction appears to have been accidental.
