While it feels like silly to promote papers while the world burns, it is a exciting to see the first MS student thesis published from the lab! @jesslsandoval examined factors influencing paedomorphosis in mole #salamanders https://t.co/CBVQFn1SiT

@TLAmphib Woohoo!

I have salamanders on the brain! Did you know that some salamanders mamas, like the Ensatina, stay with their eggs until after they hatch? Look at these pics of two mamas found under a board in Monterey Co., Calif.

Have you ever wondered how hydroperiod affects fall breeding in ambystomatid salamanders? Read this new paper by @TLAmphib, @jesslsandoval, and @Amphib_nerd.

Second up was @jesslsandoval with her study on the drivers of facultative paedomorphosis in mole #salamanders

[Tom Anderson @TLAmphib]

A busy week in the lab with two excellent MS defenses! First up was @Amphib_nerd with their work on hydroperiod and predation risk in smallmouth #salamanders.

It's a good day when you see a siren. It's an even better day when you see two!

Every year I give my students an assignment where they can blend their creativity with any topic covered in class. Many students make memes, and the memes for my wildlife data collection and analysis course this year are on point. Get ready for nerdy population modeling memes! 🧵

Happy spring! Here is a troubling comic

[Cy Mott @cy_mott]

It's nesting season for four-toed salamanders!! Females care for their own eggs deposited among sphagnum moss around wetlands, and sometimes a female will guard eggs of another smaller female. Hatchlings have extremely larval periods, leaving the water after 20 – 40 days!
