Previous studies have shown that it's not heat alone that kills harlequins but also a pathogen--the chytrid fungus--that attacks their skin. The chytrid is actually a cool-weather organism, doing best at temperatures from 63°F to 77°F. Paradoxically, an effect of global warming is to increase cloud cover in the tropical forests, lowering daytime temperatures and making the frogs more vulnerable to fungal assault...

It takes the cool heads and wise counsel of the family graybeards too. "Evolution isn't just about reproduction," Levenson says.

He didn’t cool down in the second half, either, scoring 13 of Harvard’s initial 25 points after the break to lead the Crimson to a 63-45 advantage with eight minutes left...
