RALEIGH, North Carolina, April 29 (TNSJou) -- North Carolina State University issued the following news release:
A new study from North Carolina State University examines immune system diversity in the critically endangered Wyoming toad and finds that genetic bottlenecks could impact a species' ability to respond to new pathogens. The findings could inform captive breeding strategies for endangered animal populations.
The Wyoming toad, Anaxyrus baxteri, suffered a . . .
