The reading and the lecture are both about the golden frog that is under threat because of a fungus that affects the frog's crucial life functions. More specifically, in regard to the passage, the writer presents three theories about how to preserve these frogs. The lecturer disputes the claims made in the article. His position is that these solutions are not effective and will not protect the frog population.
First and foremost, the author of the reading states there is a type of bacterium that can work against the fungus by killing its cells. The article mentions that establishing colonies of the bacterium on the frog's skin can solve the issue. This argument is challenged by the lecturer. He claims that this solution will not work because the effect of the bacterium did not last for a long time. Additionally, he points out that these chemicals attack fungus at the beginning of the colony then they stop protecting the frogs.
Secondly, the author suggests breeding the frogs in captivity and then emitting them in the wild which helps to make frogs lack diseases. In the article, it is said that the new population will be healthy and free from this disease. Again, the professor specifically addresses this point when he states the new frogs will not stay healthy because the other animals in the wild have the same disease. He goes on to say that this method will not work at all.
Finally, the author brings his argument to a close by suggesting that frogs have self-defense against this fungus by raising their temperature which decreases the fungus growth. Not surprisingly, the lecturer takes issue with this claim by contending that this method has big cons for the frogs because it use a lot of energy from the frogs which weakens them. He notes that this way may protect the frogs from these plants, but will affect their health.
