Lemurs Are Into Networking Too

The video discusses two studies: one on lemurs and another on amphibians. The lemur study, published in Current Biology, reveals that social connections influence problem-solving abilities and social status. Lemurs with more connections are better at solving puzzles, and those who solve puzzles gain popularity. The amphibian study focuses on Chitrid disease, a fungal infection devastating frog populations. Some frogs in Panama show signs of recovery, likely due to evolved resistance. However, captive breeding programs may inadvertently introduce more susceptible frogs, posing challenges for conservation efforts.
