Duddingston: Chitrid Fungus Sampling
Over the past couple of years LARG have been participating in a national survey of amphibian populations for the Chitrid fungus. Chitrid is a lethal fungal disease which is affecting amphibian populations throughout the world. In the past, sampling of native species has been the focus, however, at this event the focus was the non-native alpine newt (see pictures below).
