NPR Science Friday, May 14, 2010: Modern
Extinctions
Over the course of the Earth's
history, there have been at least five major extinction events -- the End
Ordovician, Late Devonian, End Permian, End Triassic, and End Cretaceous. Some
ecologists, citing the loss of biodiversity in certain areas and the species at
risk, say that a new major extinction event could be on the horizon. Writing
this week in the journal Science, researchers say that warming temperatures
could cause one-fifth of the world's lizard species to become extinct by the
year 2080. In this hour, we'll
talk about modern extinctions and what causes them. How much is human activity
to blame? Plus, we'll check in with researchers studying a fungal infection
that has devastated frog populations in some parts of the world. UCMP Blog about the show
