Often asked “how are the amphibians going?”. After 10 years of working this out, along with 100s of other dedicated people, we have an unfortunate answer: not great. BUT with ramped up research and conservation that could still change!

Jodi Rowley and Tim Cutajar from UNSW Science and AMRI among the team documenting the global threats to amphibians - important paper just out in @nature - nature.com/articles/s4158…

this is a #blackcaiman captured at night with our #DJIMatrice using thermal infrared camera. #UAV imagery has proven to be a useful tool for #crocodile #conservation and provides valuable data for our #caiman project in #frenchguiana🐊🇬🇫 National Geographic Society Paleo Project French Guiana Universität Wien

Biogeographic realms aren't merely vast stretches of land; they're unique ecological zones teeming with distinct amphibian species. Influenced by factors like climate and geography, these realms are pivotal for ASA. Why?⬇️

In a month we have received interest from 100s people who will join us on May 22, 2024 to sample #biodiversity with #eDNA in the lakes below 🎉. But we have to make this truly global. If you see a gap and want to join us sign up here --> evaluation-app1.let.ethz.ch/TakeSurvey.asp…

Making sure I get some call recordings in for #FrogIDweek. If you’re in Australia, download the FrogID app. It’s fun, free, helps you identify frogs and helps researchers study and conserve them!

🚨 New research led by Australian Museum’ @tomoparkin used #FrogID data to help scientifically describe two new frog species: the South Australian Tree Frog (Litoria calliscelis) and Kangaroo Island Tree Frog (Litoria sibilus). Your FrogID app is now updated! 📲 australian.museum/blog/amri-news…

I really love glass frogs. I guess that’s how I went from never having seen one to being the top observer of this one on #inaturalist in three months 😂

🐸 Happy #EarthDay! Exciting news: the updated Australian Frog Atlas, powered by #FrogID data, is here! Featuring detailed maps of Australia's 254 frog species, including range extensions and new species discoveries. Access this invaluable resource today: australian.museum/blog/amri-news…

Frog nerds: Here's a great opportunity to work in a growing, productive, close-knit team of awesome amphibian conservation biologists! Two-year postdoc!

Stoked to talk about frog parasite ecology at World Congress of Herpetology today at Kuching, Malaysian Borneo! #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

First time attending #WCH10! Thank you everyone for assisting to my talk 🦎

Lots of appetite to hear about women in herpetology at #WCH10. Next time let’s value this better by scheduling it in a bigger room.

Full house to listen to Itzue W. Caviedes-Solis talk about the Global Women in Herpetology project, the hardships faced by #herpers and what needs to be done so we can move forward 🫶🏼 Big round of applause! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

It was such a privilege to attend #wch10 in Boneo and represent the Australian Museum AMRI and FrogID with my presentation on #CitizenScience and Banjo #frogs! Also great to hear about the fantastic research from around the globe 🐸🐊🐢🦎🐍

#AcademicTwitter is there a kinder place for us to be? What took off? Mastodon? blue sky? Is threads already the domain of influencers?

I’m timcutajar on the other Bluesky. Don’t think I’ll stay here much longer :)
