Greenhouse Frog and Pine woods Treefrog
Bd-naïve greenhouse frogs and pine woods treefrogs did not avoid the
live Bd treatment (Treatment: χ2 = 0.007, P =
0.93; Figs. 3A, 3B) and there was no difference in behavioral response
between the two species when Bd-naïve (Species: χ2 =
1.9, P = 0.17). Nine out of 10 pine woods treefrog died during
the live Bd-exposure and so we could not determine whether exposure to
and clearance of Bd affected their behavioral response. Thus, we could
only test for the effect of experience on greenhouse frogs. The
Bd-experienced greenhouse frogs did not avoid the live Bd treatment
(Treatment: χ2 = 0.55, P = 0.46, Fig. 3B). In
fact, they exhibited 4.5% more attraction to the Bd after experience,
indicating that there was no trend for learned avoidance.
