Excited to see postdoc @ObedHG's adorable hellbender salamander picture as the cover of the latest issue of the journal Microbial Ecology! His important study shows captivity changes the skin microbial community living on these threatened amphibians http

Captivity changes hellbender salamander microbiomes. But in inconsistent and complex ways Important new work by @ObedHG on a great critter!
Interesting work on some of the side effects of captive breeding- altered microbiomes!
Thousands of hellbenders are reared in captivity each year as a management technique to conserve the species. How does the microbial fauna differ in captivity vs the wild? Read on to discover the answer........ https://t.co/7m8FEXN24S
