Winter ‘sauna’ helps endangered frogs fight off fungal disease newscientist.com/article/243717…

Inside a “sauna,” heat helps frogs rid themselves of a deadly fungal infection. scim.ag/7tk

Purpose-built “frog saunas” allow amphibians to warm up in winter and bake off chytrid infections. As Anthony Waddle (Macquarie University) writes, you can even DIY and build a frog sauna for your own backyard with our step-by-step guide. theconversation.com/our-frog-sauna…

Hotspot shelters allow frogs 🐸 to behaviourally increase resistance to chytridiomycosis. Congrats Anthony Waddle et al for a great experiment! | doi.org/10.1038/s41586…

Super excited about our newest manuscript out now nature - “Hotspot shelters stimulate frog resistance to chytridiomycosis”

Holy shit guys not only were they theoretically able to help frogs recover from Chytrid by providing a gentle hot spot, but they found that the frogs recovered thru heat were potentially resistant to future infections theconversation.com/our-frog-sauna…

Life is surreal sometimes. Our paper and photos covered in Forbes! Some of this I said in an interview this morning 🤯. forbes.com/sites/grrlscie…

Mini saunas save endangered frogs from fungal disease 🐸 go.nature.com/3zn8z2k

Turns out #frogs also enjoy long soaks in a hot sauna, and research shows it provides them with a chance to withstand outbreaks of the chytrid fungus 🐸 Learn more about the #research and how to make your own frog sauna to protect local frogs this winter: ausgeo.co/frogsaunas

A fungal infection some scientists consider one of the worst wildlife diseases of all time is wreaking havoc on the global frog population. Now, scientists say they’ve discovered a way to help frogs fight back: tiny saunas. wapo.st/3zrN8gJ

Excited to see our research on the cover of the latest issue of @nature !! I was never much of a photographer - the frogs did the heavy lifting on this one by being cuuuuute.

So excited to see our research on the cover nature ! Great work and photography Anthony Waddle all the photos from this study are beautiful

NEWS: Audubon Society is challenging the constitutionality of labor law in response to the NLRB complaint that found management committed several Unfair Labor Practices. Audubon CEO Elizabeth Gray joins Elon Musk and others in this anti-union approach. cwa-union.org/news/releases/…

FYI if you’re giving your money to the National Audubon Society they’re spending it on this bullshit instead of paying people to do work that helps birds

Awesome Journal of Animal Ecology highlight by Erin Sauer 🐸 on our Nest Parasite Community Science Project ParasiteSquad 💚 Appropriate that it was published on Halloween👻🪰😂 besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/13…
