The major contributing factor of the most drastic amphibian population declines is the disease chytridiomycosis caused by amphibian chytrid fungi, specifically Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis and Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans. These fungi, disseminated by anthropogenic means, can reduce amphibian biodiversity at new locations in alarmingly short periods of time. Thus, understanding and controlling infectious diseases such as chytridiomycosis have become a major focus of both in situ and ex situ amphibian conservation efforts worldwide. To formulate a response to the crisis of global amphibian extinctions, the Species Survival Commission (SSC) of the IUCN convened

These include complex effects of multiple abiotic and biotic stressors that may drive population losses. These losses are especially illustrated by amphibians, whose populations are declining worldwide. The causes of amphibian population declines are multifaceted and context-dependent. One major factor affecting amphibian populations is emerging infectious disease. Several pathogens and their associated diseases are especially significant contributors to amphibian population declines.

  • Common Frog Rana Temporaria
    Common frog Rana temporaria Description Common frogs are common, widespread and easily recognisable amphibians. They have smooth, moist skin and long stripy legs. Common frogs are usually olive-green, although their colouration can be variable (from brown, yellow, cream or black, to pink, red, or lime-green). They have a dark patch (‘mask’) around the eye and eardrum, and often have other irregular black blotches over their body and limbs. They have large golden eyes with oval horizontal pupils. Frogs hop and jump rather than walk or crawl, and they are most active at night. They hibernate during the winter in pond mud or under piles of rotting leaves, logs or stones. Outside the breeding season, frogs are largely terrestrial and can be found in meadows, gardens and woodland. Breeding takes place in ponds, lakes, canals, and even wet grassland or puddles! Spawning usually occurs in January in the milder areas of the UK, but not until March to April in the North or upland areas. Mating pairs and masses of clumpy frogspawn can often be seen in waterbodies during this time. The eggs hatch into tadpoles within two to three weeks. What they eat Adult frogs eat snails, slugs, worms, insects and other invertebrates caught using their long sticky tongue. Young tadpoles feed on algae, but become carnivorous as they mature. Where and when to see them z Frogs can be spotted in ponds, lakes, canals, meadows, woodlands and gardens most commonly between February and October. z Look for frogspawn just below the surface of the water. Frogs lay a mass of jelly-like eggs, whereas toadspawn is produced in long strings.

It is widely 15 cultured in southern China, and is a key breed recommended as an industry of poverty alleviation 16 in China. During recent years, a fatal bacterial disease has often been found in cultured bullfrogs. 17 The clinical manifestations of the diseased bullfrogs were severe intestinal inflammation and even 18 anal prolapse. A bacterial pathogen was isolated from the diseased bullfrog intestines. The 19 bacterium was identified as Vibrio cholerae using morphological, biochemical and 16S rRNA 20 phylogenetic analysis. In this study, V. cholerae was isolated and identified from diseased bullfrogs 21 for the first time, providing a basis for the diagnosis and control of the disease.

As they develop, common frog tadpoles become mottled with bronze, whereas toad tadpoles remain uniformly dark until the last stages of development. Common frog and toad tadpoles generally complete Toad development in the summer, but development rates are variable; some tadpoles may not transform until later in the year, or they may even remain as tadpoles over winter, becoming much larger than normal.

  • Families in Context Annual Report 2016 Our Vision
    FAMILIES IN CONTEXT ANNUAL REPORT 2016 OUR VISION The Center for Research on Families has more than forty years of history at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. Founded in the 1970s as the Center for the Family, a generous endowment by Dorothy Dunklee Gavin (‘43) and Joseph Gavin in 1996 ensured a strong and sustainable future for the Center. In 2003, the original Center for the Family expanded into today’s Center for Research on Families (CRF). CRF is a joint center of the College of Natural Sciences (CNS) and the College of Social and Behavioral Sciences (SBS). Its programs are supported by CNS, SBS, the Edna Skinner and Tay Gavin Erickson endowments, the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research and Engagement, grants, and alumni and corporate gifts. CRF’s unique model of collaboration speaks to its primary mission of supporting interdisciplinary and translational research activities on campus. The vision for the Center for CULTURE Research on Families at the University GOVERNMENT of Massachusetts Amherst is to be a WORKPLACES nationally-renowned research center addressing the challenges and resilience COMMUNITY of families. CRF supports interdisciplinary FAMILIES scientific collaborations aimed at INDIVIDUAL understanding the diversity, health, and well-being of families while discovering BIOLOGY solutions to the challenges families face. Innovative solutions to the central challenges facing families will come from advances in both the social and natural sciences. CRF is among only a handful of family research centers in the country aimed at bridging the social, behavioral, and natural sciences; thus, we are uniquely poised to initiate and support interdisciplinary collaborations aimed at addressing societal and familial challenges.

Por: Sandra Oliveira Ferrão Rio de Janeiro 2016 3 AGRADECIMENTOS À Rozeny Seixas, que muito me incentivou, aos meus clientes e, especificamente, à Anadia Bienhachewski e à família Varela Mello, que me motivaram a buscar mais conhecimento para melhor exercer minha profissão. 4 DEDICATÓRIA Dedico este estudo a meu pai, Walter Ferrão, in memoriam, e a minha mãe Arlette Oliveira Ferrão, por tudo o que me ofereceram em meu caminho de vida, e a meu marido, Miguel Vicente, pela paciência e cumplicidade. 5 RESUMO Este trabalho tem por objetivo propiciar a reflexão sobre a importância da abordagem sistêmica no trabalho clínico com famílias pós-modernas no contexto da realidade brasileira, especificamente, a carioca. Na introdução, apresentaremos a síntese do conteúdo a ser desenvolvido, demonstrando a importância do pensamento sistêmico no trabalho clínico do psicoterapeuta com as famílias pós-modernas. No desenvolvimento, analisaremos, em princípio, a evolução histórica do conceito de família, da tradicional à pós-moderna, considerando que tais composições coexistem na atualidade do país Brasil. Em seguida, verificaremos os antecessores que possibilitaram o novo paradigma sistêmico para uma visão mais dinâmica das dificuldades existenciais das famílias pós- modernas.
