Just #published!
Having problems with your neighbours is common, but for The Blue Mountains Tree Frog, could the frogs they share their stream with be deadly? We investigated the dynamics of #Bd in 3 Sydney #frog species. Read more here: https://t.co/1KGkJZxftR

Extract of videos pre and post treatment: the algorithm detects movements by comparing (in terms of pixels) the current frame to the background. Collected with @pestell37, @GaurKendrika and Citizen Scientists 🙏 during pilot deployment.. before Covid happened 😷 #SCBMelb20 (3/5)

Really please to have my latest manuscript just published in #PLOSONE. Great project with some fantastic collaborators. Check it out! #frogtweet #frogs Sexual dichromatism in the neotropical genus Mannophryne (Anura: Aromobatidae) https://t.co/7fB5QhupfP

My PhD thesis was accepted today! It hasn't quite sunk in yet, but I'm excited to be (still only almost) Dr. Jess! Thanks to everyone who supported me throughout this pretty awesome experience :)

@jodirowley What about non-Australians living in Oz? Is that 0.8 FTE?

@MyFrogCroaked Got to love a monstera!

Horses are lovely animals - but they can live anywhere. Corroboree frogs can’t. There is NO reason horses should be protected in National Parks.

Buried treasure—marine turtles do not ‘disguise’ or ‘camouflage’ their nests but avoid them and create a decoy trail | Royal Society Open Science https://t.co/CZA42sahl3 Our new paper put now, with @han_davids and many others

Just two lonely herpetologist missing the sounds of fieldwork. Anyone want to join our chorus? #StayHome #frogs4lyfe @WallacxFrogging

OK, buckle up. I wanna talk to you about Triscuit.

My first ever, first author paper is out! We found that globally, marine protected areas are more commonly established in areas of low political opposition, limiting their ability to manage some key, current drivers of biodiversity loss #biodiversity2020 https://t.co/BlDDBdKwVg

@daniwallace95 @DonADriscoll It’s been great working with you Dani, excited to see all you’ve got ahead!

Great talk and research by @LA_Brannelly in new methods to detect Bd in the wild using eDNA. #WCH9 @WCHerp @DiseaseEcolAust

[Anat Belasen, PhD @AnatLovesFrogs]

Bd is a major hurdle to wild reintroduction of susceptible spp like Rana onca. Immunizing frogs (through either live vaccine or infection+clearing) was successful at inducing adaptive immunity to protect against Bd - Anthony Waddle @AnthonyWaddle #WCH9
