Nice work Matt From: Global Ranavirus Consortium [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Gray, Matt Sent: 19 March 2013 23:05 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: FW: Ranavirus Article for Biologists Dear Colleagues: Below is a link to an outreach paper that Deb and I recently published in the Wildlife Professional. We wrote this paper in general prose for field biologists to familiarize them with ranaviruses. There's also a plug for the 2013 Ranavirus Symposium and the GRC. This article is open access so please feel free to share with biologists in your region. All the Best--- Matt http://news.wildlife.org/twp/2013-spring/the-rise-of-ranavirus/ ______________________________________________________________ Matthew J.

In this issue, we examine the role of the Endangered Species Act, which turns 40 this year, and revisit some notable milestones that helped define this critical law. We also explore the realities of wolf recovery, the harmful effects of rodenticides on illegal marijuana crops, the emergence of deadly ranavirus on ectothermic vertebrate species, the return of a rare Tanzanian toad, and more.

We also look at some defining cases and challenges that illustrate how the ESA may sometimes conflict with industry or politics. <http://eloop4.goldlasso.com/UserFiles/c_825/Image/State%20Perspectives% 20on%20the%20ESA.jpg> State Perspectives on the ESA <http://www.info.wildlife.org/l.jsp?d=7823.324771.825.9Z_4H3e9W7MW3jrYfs iXXcA..A> When managing a listed species, states must navigate federal regulations of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the National Marine Fisheries Service, the agencies that administer the ESA. This can lead to great success and also occasional strife over red tape, jurisdiction, and litigation. <http://eloop4.goldlasso.com/UserFiles/c_825/Image/The%20Challenge%20of% 20Wolf%20Recovery.jpg> The Challenge of Wolf Recovery <http://www.info.wildlife.org/l.jsp?d=7823.324772.825.9Z_4H3e9W7MW3jrYfs iXXcA..A> Renowned wolf biologist L.

Since 2008, necropsies and toxicology screens on 58 fishers have shown that nearly 80 percent of them had been exposed to the poisons. <http://eloop4.goldlasso.com/UserFiles/c_825/Image/The%20Rise%20of%20Ran avirus.jpg> The Rise of Ranavirus <http://www.info.wildlife.org/l.jsp?d=7823.324774.825.9Z_4H3e9W7MW3jrYfs iXXcA..A> Ranavirus is a pathogen that can sicken and kill amphibians, reptiles, and fish. Research suggests that the distribution, prevalence, and host range of ranavirus is increasing, and scientists are scrambling to learn more about this potentially significant threat to herpetofaunal biodiversity. <http://news.wildlife.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Sarah-P.reformatted -276x221.jpg> A Rewarding Road <http://www.info.wildlife.org/l.jsp?d=7823.324775.825.9Z_4H3e9W7MW3jrYfs iXXcA..A> This article explores how biologists in state departments of transportation work closely with road engineers to help ensure that roads, bridges, and other such projects have minimal impacts on sensitive wildlife species and habitats. Also in this Issue How green roofs can serve as wildlife habitat; the role of sage-grouse as an umbrella species; becoming a Wyoming game warden; Mexican wolf recovery efforts; and more.
