Wood frog tadpoles like this one are more susceptible to a parasitic fluke when they live in water tainted by road salt. But when their polluted ecosystem includes other species, like the American toad, which are not more likely to be infected in saltier water, biodiversity works in all the tadpoles’ favor.
