@eye4msu so sorry for the loss of your grandma

So glad this mammoth is finally out! @donaldmcknight2 and I kicked this off just before COVID which really restricted participation with lockdowns, but excited about all the student authors on this project, some as the first paper they have been on! #NocturnalBasking #Turtles

@neorsd @Fieldkorn There are smallmouth salamanders there, but most of the salamanders are unisexual Ambystoma, a very interesting group with an interesting way of reproducing. Here is a video from science Friday featuring @amphibs and @RD_Denton describing them: https://t.co/OMbOdsmuYR

@neorsd @troy_neptune @HotHerps @Nicole_Harvel Fun fact is the belly patterns are unique for each individual, like a fingerprint, so we can recognize the same individual year after year when they come back to breed.

i am not a herpetologist but i believe this is scientifically referred to as a smol bb

@amphibs Super fun to work with @amphibs on this! One of the many interesting bits is that warmer winter/spring associated with more overlap in breeding between wood frogs and tiger salamanders. Colder weather = tigers breeding earlier than wood frogs.

Delighted that this beast of a manuscript is finally out in the world! I had an absolute blast working on this with @BenardMF. Do science with your friends, y'all, it's the best.

@TJNear I want to see this!

A few salamanders from this week's field work in upstate New York. Can you identify them all, and which is your favorite?

Woody's back!

It's not too late to put in an application for these Collection Manager positions.

@vickorano @wienerwilson I think it can be easy to miss if you aren’t listening for it.
