        Ross Alford and co-authors question whether global warming is really contributing to amphibian declines and extinctions by promoting outbreaks of a chytrid fungus, as suggested by Alan Pounds and colleagues in a 2006 Nature paper. Using data collected from declining and non-declining frog populations near northern Queensland, Australia, Alford and colleagues present evidence that multiyear warm periods may be more important in amphibian declines than single warm years.
