Here’s the #OA editorial for the first part (yes, we had to split it into two because of the high number of submissions!) of our Evolutionary Ecology Special Issue on #poisonfrogs! Fernando Vargas-Salinas rdcu.be/dHhSl KLIVV Vienna Vetmeduni

A meaningful day as we wrapped up a UCE sequencing dataset that includes unisexual Ambystoma, A. laterale, and A. jeffersonianum from all across their range. Gigantic effort by so many people. This seemed impossible only a few years ago! Can't wait to see what we find out 🔎🧬

The first part of our Evolutionary Ecology Special Issue on #poisonfrogs is out at last! Bonus: a beautiful cover with illustrations done by @LiaSchlippe 😍 BIG thanks to the many reviewers whose work was crucial for the SI to be a reality 🙌 Fernando Vargas-Salinas link.springer.com/journal/10682/…

Check out this blog I wrote for the Australian Museum - we need your help to report sick frogs again this winter australian.museum/blog/amri-news…

Public reports of sick and deceased frogs were crucial in understanding the winter 2021 mass frog mortality event in Australia. Your ongoing help is vital. Please send in any reports of sick and dead frogs via the #FrogID inbox at [email protected]. australian.museum/blog/amri-news…

I'm so excited to share that we've been published in Nature! Our study shows that saunas can be made from inexpensive material purchased from hardware stores to vaccinate frogs from the deadly fungal disease, chytridiomycosis. nature.com/articles/s4158…

New research reveals that purpose-built ‘frog saunas’ can help endangered Australian frogs clear infections from the deadly chytrid fungus! 🐸 Read more below to get instructions on building your own, and use FrogID to track how they're doing: theconversation.com/our-frog-sauna…

Charles Elton wrote his classic book "Animal Ecology" nearly a century ago. Yet much of it, including the conclusion, remains insightful.

The full programme for #wch10 is now online (2024wch10.com/docs/10WCH-dai…) and I am *SO excited* to see so many familiar names and interesting talk titles! Can't wait for a whole week of #HerpSci in beautiful Borneo🤩🐸🐢🐍🦎🐊

Presenting on the relationship between Australian frogs, fires, floods, and fungus today at #WCH10

So excited to see Eli Bieri talk about his research on Australian frogs, fires, flood, and fungi at 4.15 today (Wednesday). Come along to Room 5 to hear more! #wch10

Wow! A blind snake (Indotyphlops braminus I think) feeding on ant brood. These snakes are completely subterranean, so you can’t really observe them in the wild. They’re specialized predators of ants and termites and, evidently, they look really weird when they eat. Ant 🐜 🐍 🐜

Meet Pugh’s Mountain Frog (Philoria pughi) 🐸 Breeding from spring to summer, this little frog can be heard calling in the Gibraltar Range and Washpool National Park in far northern NSW. If you're in their area, listen out for their low-pitched 'orrk' call. 📷: Stephen Mahony

I’ll always be a Minnesota guy. But after meeting some great people at the Big House, I must admit – Michiganders know how to host a good game day.

One of the most impressive plays of the season:
