Science Caf : Where Have All the Frogs Gone? November 16, 2010

Location: Other - The Irregardless Caf , 901 W. Morgan Street, Raleigh, 919.833.8898. 6:30 8:30 pm with discussions beginning at 7 pm followed by Q&A. Since the 1980s, dramatic reductions in amphibian populations (including population crashes and mass localized extinctions) have been noted from locations all over the world. Currently, the loss of these animals (especially frogs) is thought to be one of the most critical threats to global biodiversity. Many of the causes are still poorly understood, and the topic is the subject of much ongoing research. Join us to discuss what is known and what is yet to be known about the global loss of such an important group of animals. Please RSVP to katey.ahmann@ncdenr.gov.
