As a frog-killing fungus swept Central America, scientists saw a remarkable chain of events
With fewer tadpoles to eat mosquito larvae, rates of mosquito-borne malaria climbed 2/5

The discovery is part of a new area of research in which ecologists and economists find hidden ways many plants and animals — including wolves, bats, birds and trees — underpin human well-being
