Co-authored by ESPM PhD candidate @becca_brunner and @USFQ_Ecuador professor @jmguayasamin, the discovery highlights “cryptic diversity” in the Andes while underscoring the importance of conservation in a global hotspot for biodiversity.
Amazing opportunity to work with an amazing lab!!!

Coverage of my waving glass frog in the @UCBerkeley news 🐸 news.berkeley.edu/2021/01/14/gla…
So excited to share my latest paper with @jmguayasamin! Glassfrogs now join the few other amazing frog families that visually signal near waterfalls--a really amazing example of convergent evolution!! doi.org/10.1163/156853… DM me if you want a PDF! 🐸
You’ve probably heard of frogs and salamanders, but did you know that there is a third type of #amphibian? Caecilians are limbless and nearly blind creatures that spend most of their lives underground. We were very lucky to find one while doing research in #Ecuador @InsideNatGeo
Perfectly sums up my life in the field. #fieldwork

Should I take it as a compliment that this hummingbird mistook my nose for a flower? The beak tickled, but its tongue wasn't quite as pleasant... #fieldworkfail #fieldwork #tropicalecology #hummingbird

#IAmAScientistBecause nothing makes me feel more alive than the natural world, and we must foster knowledge and understanding to protect it.
Unsurprisingly, my inaugural tweet (ribbit?) features a frog from my recent #Madagascar adventure. Boophis luteus!
