EXERCISE Applying Critical Thinking to the Amphibian Decline Problem Adriana Lobo and Ana Porzecanski AASAACI is designed to foster critical thinking habits. It encourages students to comprehend complex environmental issues and gather evidence before accepting or formulating conclusions. In the context of amphibian decline, AASAACI students engage in group discussions and ask questions to conduct individual or group research. The goal is to understand the causes and consequences of amphibian decline and develop effective conservation strategies. PART I: WHY ARE AMPHIBIANS DECLINING? Nora's heart was racing when the plane landed. Finally, back in Costa Rica, she cherished the memories of her research years in the early 1990s. Living and working in the rainforest, she had never felt so alive. She had told her students many stories from that time, especially the incredible feeling of hearing the forest come alive at dusk with the sound of hundreds of calling frogs. Later that day, after settling at the field station and having an early dinner, Nora and her students made their way to the nearest forest trail and started hiking. As dusk approached, her expectations grew, but an eerie feeling took over. She noticed that something was different. The forest was definitely turning dark, but it was strangely silent. Fear enveloped them as they continued hiking, and then the light from twelve headlamps converged on her. Ms. Torres couldn't help but wonder, shouldn't the frogs be calling? She was afraid it was much worse than she had imagined. She couldn't believe that so many species had been lost in such a short time. Then they all started speaking at once: "Are they really gone, Ms. Torres? What happened?" She knew she would have to brush up on her scientific knowledge to answer their questions tomorrow. II. Introduction and Instructions Through this case study on amphibian declines, we aim to understand this phenomenon and the challenges it poses to biodiversity conservation. We will explore various hypotheses and supporting evidence to critically analyze the situation. As you read, keep in mind that you will be asked to answer questions based on the information presented. III. Questions Please consult the following questions as you read and critically analyze the information presented. These questions will help you understand the complexity of amphibian declines and the need for effective conservation measures.

A 532.99 g sample of the drug was analyzed in the lab and found to contain 346.12 g carbon, 23.98 g hydrogen, 108.52 g oxygen, and 54.36 g sulfur. The compound is found to have a molecular mass of 314.38 g/mol. The victim's fingerprints were found on a half-empty cup on the coffee table amid the scent of almonds. An 823.15 g liquid sample from the cup was found to contain 3.74% hydrogen, 44.43% carbon, and 51.83% nitrogen. The molecular mass was determined to be 81.09 g/mol. Chemical analysis of one pill (1.454 g) found that it contains 0.924 g carbon, 0.0874 g hydrogen, 0.134 g nitrogen, and 0.307 g oxygen. The molar mass of the drug is 151.18 g/mol. The bottle originally contained 150 tablets, and now contains 118. The victim was researching a new hydrocarbon with unknown health effects. A 453.28 g sample of the compound was found to be 7.76% hydrogen, the rest carbon, and the molecular mass is estimated at 117.171 g/mol. Where could the poison be? Victim - A 35-year-old research chemist at a respected university in Michigan. He was found dead at his home at 9 pm last night. Prior to his death yesterday, Mr. DeMoy spent most of the day at his laboratory at the university. He also had a cup of tea at his home with a neighbor and colleague, Shay Lemarck. Mr. DeMoy suffered from severe osteoarthritis and has been referred to as a "difficult patient," causing frustration for his doctor and devoted wife. Wife - Aundrea DeMoy, the victim's wife, has grown sick of her husband's complaining. Lately, she has been more inclined to give him extra tablets of Tylenol (acetaminophen) to keep him in less pain – and thus quieter. Mrs. DeMoy claims that she worked late yesterday and stopped at the grocery store before arriving home at 9 pm and finding her husband dead. Shay Lemarck is a neighbor and colleague of Mr. DeMoy. The two are competing for a research grant at the university and have never been close friends. Ms. Lemarck claims that she met with Mr. DeMoy for tea to discuss a plan to collaborate on their upcoming grant applications, that the meeting went well, and that she left him alive at 6 pm. Kasey Hatterson is the victim's research partner. Ms. Hatterson was recently seen arguing with Mr. DeMoy about how to proceed with their upcoming grant application. Mrs. DeMoy mentioned that her husband has caught Ms. Hatterson adjusting the fans in their research lab, which could affect the inhalation rates of any toxic chemicals. Ms. Hatterson claims that she did not see or speak to her partner after leaving the university at noon yesterday. Dr. Fred Finch is the victim's doctor. Dr. Finch has gained an unsavory reputation for "disposing" of unwanted or needy patients – like Mr. DeMoy may have become. It is also rumored that Dr. Finch is beginning research into hydrocarbons and would have been a new competitor for Mr. DeMoy's research team. Dr. Finch claims he has not seen Mr. DeMoy since a routine check-up last week, at which he prescribed another round of osteoarthritis pain medication. Who is the suspect?
