Four Neotropical frog species exhibit shared and distinct skin bacterial communities in a laboratory setting
Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: . However, each frog species had a unique bacterial profile with at least one unique bacterial genus, highlighting the variability of naturally occurring amphibian skin microbiomes. These experiments were conducted by undergraduate students in an upper-division laboratory course, demonstrating how curiosity-based science education can lead to practical research experiences and new scientific insights.
