A new study from Cornell published in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B. has found that diverse communities developed less disease, even when the effects of species composition were controlled for. Thie finding was based on more than 50 experimental populations of frog species in which the fungal pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) was introduced.
