- @sciencemugBackerHi, good luck with your project! Are you also investigating whether the alterations in the frogs' calls are a random byproduct of the infection or instead something specifically induced by the fungus to increase its own fitness?Nov 14, 20160
- Lucas Rodriguez FortiResearcherThank you for your contribution. At first, my hypothesis is that the physiological alteration caused by the pathogen in males should significantly change acoustic traits in calls of frogs. So, I am considering to focus both resistant frogs as well as ill individuals carrying the fungus. The fitness proposition is an alternative hypothesis, raised by previous correlated papers.Nov 15, 20160
