Even species that do not interact directly with each other can be connected by shared features of their environment. Early observations suggest that parasites cause amphibian deformities: sessions found that the deformed amphibians all contained a parasite known to be ribeiroia ondatrae (tremadote flatworm, ruth hypothesized that these flatworms caused the deformities. Implanted glass beads that mimic the effects of the parasite. Reported that the beads caused deformities similar to those found by ruth. Johnson turned his attention to other factors that might cause deformities.
