Once the amphibians were no longer needed, the educator released them. Four decades later, studies show that frogs that have decimated local Alaskan amphibian populations have genetic ties to those found in Washington\u2019s Columbia Basin. &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Oregon Sea Grant Extension specialist Sam Chan, a biologist who researches invasive species at Oregon State University, is leading a collaborative project with U.S. and Canadian researchers to educate teachers about the dangers of letting aliens loose. In one survey of nearly 2,000 teachers, Chan&#8217;s team found that schools had released dozens of well-known invasive species, like crayfish, waterweeds, mosquito fish, and red-eared slider turtles (above).<\/p>\n<p>Learn more:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.audubonmagazine.org\/articles\/conservation\/teachers-inadvertently-spread-invasive-species\">Read a short version of the story<\/a> at Audubon online<\/li>\n<li>Oregon Sea Grant&#8217;s<a href=\"http:\/\/seagrant.oregonstate.edu\/invasive-species\/wise\"> Watersheds and Invasive Species Education<\/a> program enlists teachers and their classrooms to discover how invasive species and other emerging watershed issues can be used as tools to engage students in science learning and community action<\/li>\n<li>Subscribe to our new <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.oregonstate.edu\/wise\/\">WISE Blog<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The latest issue of Audubon, the magazine of the National Audobon Society, reports that in the 1970s an Alaskan high school science teacher purchased red-legged frogs from a supply house in the Pacific Northwest.
