Memphis Zoo is looking for a 3-year Postdoc in #AmphibianConservation and Research! 🐸🐸🐸 More info: shorturl.at/hmSU6 Please help spread the word! @MIAZS_Now @thezooscientist @zoos_aquariums @MemphisZoo #ZooResearch #ZooScience #Herpetology
We are excited to announce that the #GWHbook is featured on @AmphibiaWeb as the #Amphibian news of the week! Head over to amphibiaweb.org to read the full feature! 🐸💚👩🔬 #womeninstem #HERper #herpetology #herpetologynews
Amphibians, with their unique reliance on skin for respiration and ion regulation, are severely threatened by climate change. Rollins-Smith & Le Sage (2023) compiled research on heat-stress and desiccation to better understand future risks. amphibiaweb.org
This week we are celebrating the Global Women in Herpetology Project, which highlights female scientists worldwide. Their captivating book showcases 50 inspiring women, their fieldwork, challenges, and amphibians & reptiles. womeninherpetology.com amphibiaweb.org
IVF for frogs? 💉🧫 🐸 Researchers are looking into repopulating declining species using embryos from frozen sperm and eggs. However, Poo et al. 2022 found IVF frogs smaller than their wild counterparts indicating more research is needed in this area! amphibiaweb.org
Communication is key when raising kids right? 👨👨👦! 🐸? Many poison dart frogs have bi-parental care, including multiple types of acoustic communication. Moss, Tumulty, and Fischer (2023) analyzed the evolution of calls dad makes to tell mom to feed baby! amphibiaweb.org/index.html
Many amphibians can adjust hatching times in response to external factors. For terrestrial eggs, flooding can cause embryos to hatch early. Poo et al studied this plasticity in rhacophorid tree frogs in Thailand. amphibiaweb.org
Research in vitro? 🧪 🐸 🧫 Cultured cell lines exist for 23 diverse amphibian species. Douglas (2023) reviews and encourages use of this amazing resource to further study host-pathogen interactions in declining species. amphibiaweb.org
Brilliantly colored Peruvian Mimic Poison Frog have extensive biparental care. Tadpoles feed on unfertilized eggs rather than the usual tadpole diet of detritus. Weinfurther et al. (2023) found evidence of unique gut microbiome in the egg feeding tads. amphibiaweb.org
Frog cologne and perfume? 🐸 Chemical signals are likely used during mating in some frogs. Brunetti et al. (2023) found that some of the odors were coming from symbiotic microbial communities found on the skin of Burmeister's Treefrog. amphibiaweb.org
Had a rough week? Bounce back with a Titicaca Water Frog (Telmatobius culeus) this #FrogFriday! #Telmatobiusculeus #Telmatobius #Wildlife #WildlifeConservation #TiticacaWaterFrog #Frog #WaterFrog
Rhacophorid tree frogs make up 6% of all anurans. They inhabit a wide range of climates and have evolved multiple modes of reproduction. Ellepola et al (2022) looked into how and why these frogs are so evolutionarily successful. amphibiaweb.org
👅 🐸 Tadpoles and adult frogs have vastly different diets - herbivorous to carnivorous. Do their tastes change? Possibly! Hao et al 2023 found bullfrog adults and larvae express different genes in their taste receptors. amphibiaweb.org
MVZ Seminar TODAY! Live in the GML! Professor W. Chris Funk, Department of Biology, Colorado State University discusses, "A frog tale about a tailed frog: Why an evolutionary perspective matters for predicting sensitivity to increasing temperatures." mvz.berkeley.edu/mvz-lunch/
The Conservation Science group at the University of Newcastle, Aus. @ConservationUon has announced 3 amazing PhD scholarships opportunities to study the impacts of longwall mining on the Littlejohn’s tree frog. Check it out: newcastle.edu.au/study/research… 📸 Nikola Markovina
Looking for a podcast about citizen science? Check out this series by @BobHirshon @SciStarter who interviewed me about the global amphibian bioblitz through @inaturalist and vernal pools. citscipod.podbean.com/e/join-the-amp…
Save the date for the Midwest PARC 2023 Annual Conference! 🎉 This year’s gathering will take place Aug. 25-27 at the Touch of Nature Outdoor Education Center at Southern Illinois University. Stay tuned for details and registration. 🐸
Looking to move? Amphibians are generally small and dry out easily, but they often move more than expected. Davis et al 2023 used extensive modeling and 6 years of mark recapture data to understand how and when salamanders move between ponds. amphibiaweb.org
Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) is a fungal pathogen responsible for global amphibian decline. With museum collections, Ghose et al. (2023), reconstructed the historical spread of Bd across Africa. amphibiaweb.org
Did you know? Over 7% of global frog species, are found in 0.7% of the world's land area - on the island of New Guinea. Oliver et al. (2022) documented over 500 species and suggested there may be over 200 more to be scientifically described. amphibiaweb.org

I have a pretty good job.
Glass frogs camouflage themselve by being nearly transparent when sleeping. Some organs can still be seen, so where is their blood? Taboada et al 2022 found the 89% of the blood cells hiding in the liver, making the frog as transparent as possible. amphibiaweb.org
Three Asian-endemic newt species show similar genetic patterns across the transitional mosaic landscape of southern China. (Yuan et al 2022) These findings can help management plans for species at risk due to pet trade and habitat loss. amphibiaweb.org
Within a biological reserve, Serrano-Rojas (2022) found higher amphibian diversity in regenerating forest and forest used by Indigenous communities than in immigrant agricultural land. amphibiaweb.org
Although most famous in Australia- cane toads have also been introduced in North America. Mittan-Moreau et al. (2022) look into where the N.Am. populations originally came from. amphibiaweb.org
@Lizardeve @AmphibiaWeb @MollyCWomack @davidcblackburn @frogsicles @EmmaSteigerwald I also think it's fascinating that so many undescribed NEW species of amphibians have info on GenBank (see Fig 4)! I knew that museums had undescribed species but not on GenBank too. We need help describing new amphibians.
@Lizardeve @AmphibiaWeb @MollyCWomack @davidcblackburn @atrox10 @EmmaSteigerwald almost all of the genetic information on amphibians in NCBI is from Xenopus. The majority of SRA data was from Xenopus until 2019
Spadefoot tadpoles are either omnivorous or eat their siblings. Frogs are carnivorous so scientists assumed some tadpoles start that transition early. Ledón-Rettig's findings support differential gene expression in tadpoles, not accelerated carnivory. amphibiaweb.org

Hot and salty. Chuang et al. 2022 found lower temperature tolerance and survival rates for tadpoles raised in high salinity. Their work highlights the importance of considering multiple variables when predicting the effects of future climate change. amphibiaweb.org
