EEB Thursday Seminar - Hybrid: Global impacts of the amphibian-killing fungus: a functional genomic view
Kelly Zamudio, Professor and Endowed Fellow of the Doherty Chair in Molecular Biology, Dept. Integrative Biology, University of Texas, Austin
Our weekly seminar series featuring internal and external speakers in the field of ecology and evolutionary biology. This seminar will be in-person and livestreaming on Zoom (link this page).
Abstract:
Two fungal pathogens have had devastating effects on amphibian biodiversity at a global scale. I will review some of these impacts and explore, through functional genomic studies, the mechanisms of host-pathogen interactions that underlie resistance or susceptibility in host species. I will then describe our efforts to rediscover some of the species lost to this pathogen in Brazil.
