Inspired by how happy I was finding guppy silhouettes yesterday, here's my contribution: poison frog researchers, here are some strawberry poison frog (Oophaga pumilio) silhouettes if you need it for making figures. Uploaded to PhyloPic.org: phylopic.org/name/86d8b3de-… #poisonfrog


Paper out 🥳 Prior residence effect, not color or body size, determines success in male-male territorial competition in the wild in a polymorphic poison frog population. doi.org/10.1111/eth.13… with @PremelV and @Cori_Zawack RZ Amphibian Lab Get Your PhD @PittBioSci Smithsonian Panama #colsci #poisonfrog


So incredibly proud of Layla Freeborn, who defended her dissertation today and became the newest Dr. to emerge from the RZ Amphibian Lab ! 🐸❤️🤗🤓🙌

Curious about #amphibians, #disease #ecology, and #ecophysiology? Then join Living Earth Collaborative and @WUSTLBio's #EEPB group in welcoming: Dr. Michel Ohmer (Michel E B Ohmer) - Ecophysiology meets disease ecology. Thurs., Oct. 22, 4 pm CST: youtu.be/wC38DDX8unk


Has fun celebrating Layla Freeborn with RZ Amphibian Lab members past and present tonight. Cheers Dr. Freeborn!🥂



I'm giving a talk this Thursday (10/29) 4pm CT at the Living Earth Collaborative and @WUSTLBio's #EEPB seminar series. It will be streamed through youtube, so tune in if you are interested in #colsci #poisonfrog #guppies #sexualselection😊 youtube.com/watch?v=1eCYcB…


The last of my main thesis chapters now published in Behavioral Ecology 🎉 Females prefer same-colored males in the polymorphic strawberry poison frog, but male territorial competition can limit pref expression. #colsci w/ Corinne Zawacki in RZ Amphibian Lab Get Your PhD @PittBioSci academic.oup.com/beheco/advance…


Happy to announce a PhD position available in my lab to work on an NSF funded project studying the role of learning in speciation (using poison frogs as a model system) in Get Your PhD @PittBioSci in the RZ Amphibian Lab


Here’s 40” by 40” of amphibian admiration! This piece is from my 2018 artist residency at RZ Amphibian Lab . It’s included in a catalog of works from 2018 and prior. Message me here or at ashleycecil.com/contact to get the PDF with prices for your holiday shopping.



This episode also features research by Yusan Yang 楊雨珊 on my new favourite furious frogs! Preview of her paper and experiment in the thread below - make sure to tune in on Monday to hear more: x.com/yusan_yang/sta…

#SICB2021 is starting! Time to start binge-watching talks 🤓 Check out my talk of my PhD projects with Corinne Zawacki on the evolution of color polymorphism and reproductive isolation in the strawberry poison frog here: sicbannualmeeting.pathable.co/meetings/virtu… #colsci RZ Amphibian Lab SICB


It's International Day of Women and Girls in Science and we are proud to introduce some of the women of Australian ecology. To read more, click the link below 👇 ecolsoc.org.au/blog/internati… #WomenInScience @LA_Brannelly One Health Research @FVASunimelb @WomenSciAUST
