Our paper's photo appeared in the cover of #JEB @Darwin2009: A male glassfrog (Centrolene savagei) from the #ColombianAndes brooding its eggs. We found that the evolution of glassfrog calls is associated with parental care. Photo: Santi Castroviejo-Fisher. https://t.co/fgA3ssqgDz

Let's call on Ecuador’s courts to uphold their rights of nature this week as a municipal court hears a case to determine the future of a large-scale copper mining project in Intag Valley, only home of the rediscovered Longnose #HarlequinToad. #SalvemosIntag (📷: Gustavo Pazmiño)

A new treefrog 𝑂𝑠𝑡𝑒𝑜𝑐𝑒𝑝ℎ𝑎𝑙𝑢𝑠 from Brazil just published in Breviora by @prmelosampaio @ljclmoraes and me. The study also highlights the value of ongoing training of new taxonomists to boost the documentation of Amazonian biodiversity. https://t.co/v8LAX7SS6C

This is SO cool! The amplexus of #harlequin toads (Atelopus) has evolved to last for *MONTHS*! Bravo, @herpetobeto @CrawfordAJ & Co! 👏👏 Out now in @asab_tweets' #AnBeh #CienciaCriolla 🐸 #herpsci https://t.co/M77h6oH8UM

I assume the next step will be "For 12400 EUR you won't even have to deal with peer review".

Edward O. Wilson, Ed as we knew him, a leading light of our community, died yesterday afternoon. He was an important advocate of the MCZ, a kind presence, and inspiration to us all.

¡Pum! significa infartos, terror y abandono de los nidos y de sus crías, huidas sin regreso, vuelos interminables para buscar refugio, no encontrarlo y luego, emplumado latido derrotado, caer y morir exhausto. ¿Qué se celebra si mueren tantos inocentes?

I'm looking for a PhD student to work on landscape genomics of lizards (genus Gallotia) endemic to the Canary Islands.

Awesome organisms, fantastic location and fascinating questions to be studied.

DM for details. Please RT.

An Indigenous community in Colombia established a protected reserve in the face of illegal logging, mining and coca cultivation to protect the golden dart frog, which they historically used in their darts while hunting.

A Bokermannohyla luctuosa é do grupo das pererecas que possuem listras nas pernas. Seu nome científico "luctuosa" refere-se ao seu coaxo que parece triste, pesaroso (luctuosus = triste).

Colorful and caring parents.
Carvajal-Castro et al. (2021) found correlations between bright warning coloration (aposematism) and parental care in Neotropical poison frogs, Dendrobatidae.

Can you spot the tadpole in the photo?

1. This is long thread with personal thoughts & ideas on how to revert male dominance in scientific events. I have Brazil and Latino-America in my mind right now, but this can apply everywhere. If you feel this is useful, join the conversation & help me spread ideas far and wide.
