The phrase "amphibians around" is not correct and lacks clarity in written English.
It could be used in a context discussing the presence or distribution of amphibians in a specific area, but it needs more context to be meaningful.
Example: "During our hike, we noticed that there were many amphibians around the pond."
Alternatives: "amphibians present" or "amphibians in the vicinity".
Scientists have found a bacterium that appears to repel the deadly fungus blamed for the rapid decline in populations of amphibians around the world.
In addition to climate change and habitat loss, a deadly skin fungus called chytrid that has killed many amphibians around the world has been found in Britain.
B. dendrobatidis, known among herpetologists as the amphibian chytrid or simply Bd, has been implicated in the extinction or population decline of many amphibians around the world.
If we can find a way to save this species and help it recover, the information we learn will be really important and useful for other populations of amphibians around the world".
But why didn't these frogs suffer the same fate as other amphibians around the globe?
The chytrid fungus, Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis, has wiped out amphibians around the globe.
A new species of glass frog is winning the internet's with its bright green skin, dark eyes, transparent belly, and striking resemblance to the friendliest anthropomorphic amphibian around, Kermit the Frog.
In an essay regarding the rapid extinctions of amphibians happening around the world, Joseph R. Mendelson III, the Curator of Herpetology in Zoo Atlanta and one of the scientists who first described E. rabborum, stated that herpetologists in the last 20 years are becoming "forensic taxonomists".
Pre-metamorphic mortality in amphibians is around 90%% in most species (Vonesh and De la Cruz 2002), caused by abiotic and biotic factors, such as predation (Magnusson and Hero 1991), pond desiccation (Richter-Boix et al. 2011), inter- and intra-specific competition for food (Gonzalez et al. 2011) as well as parasitism and pathogen infections (Kriger and Hero 2007; Rhoden and Bolek 2011).
Significant numbers of the frogs developed both male and female reproductive organs, a finding that he suggested might help explain declines in amphibian species around the world.
A University of Michigan genetic analysis has found that the global trade in bullfrogs is a prime conduit for the chytrid fungus, which has been devastating amphibian populations around the world.
