Research on the amphibian skin microbiota has focused on identifying bacterial taxa that deter a pathogenic chytrid fungus (Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis - Bd), and on describing patterns of microbiota variation. However, it remains unclear how environmental variation affects amphibian skin bacterial communities, and whether the overall functional diversity of the amphibian skin microbiota is associated to such variation. I sampled skin microbial communities from three dendrobatid frog species before and after the onset of the wet season in one site, and from one dendrobatid frog species across an environmental gradient along the Panama Canal. I found frog skin microbial alpha diversity to be highest in frogs from sites with low soil pH...
