#NewSpecies alert on #FrogFriday! 🐸
Say hello to Amnirana parva, a „new“ ranid frog from West Africa.
Formerly known as widespread A. albolabris, @GFMJongsma and colleagues showed in 2018 that the population from the Upper Guinea forest forms a totally different clade. (1)

Hey #frog people!
If you are using @inaturalist, please feel invited to the new „Frogs in Amplexus“ project!
We try to collect all amplexi, (to be) recorded on iNat. So please add your future amplexus observations, or such that you help identifying/correcting. #amphibians

"Movimos un congreso al otro lado del mundo para impedir discriminación de visas"
Los congresos "mundiales" en países con restricciones de visas (UK, Canadá, Europa, EEUU) excluyen investigadores del sur global
Son "mundiales" solo en el papel

New paper in @Nature led by @PatriceEcoEvo! We demonstrated global vulnerability of amphibians to warming, threatening 10% of >5,000 species examined. How did we do it? | https://t.co/Sq7YMaC8NP | See thread🧵

@sladeypg Love them, they always look like made from rubber

@sopjap Haha this only shows who is not able to distinguish social democrats from communism 🫠 maybe he’s not even wrong but for the wrong reason

[Frederic Griesbaum @fg_wild]

@mbeisen @frogsicles Maybe it’s entire capitalism that needs to go

@crocutamatata On one hand, that’s sounds crazy indeed, on the other hand, do they live in the same biome/sympatric? Bc I think especially as naturalists we should not refer to national borders as units in any way… in a far utopy all animal species could live in one single „country“ 🤷🏼‍♂️

🐟Korbinian Pacher explains how striped marlin groups hunt schools of sardine and opens our eyes to the endless possibilities of studying behavioural ecology in the open ocean, using aerial vehicles!🎥

Never before have I seen a frog so fake looking.
I imagine this is what it would look like if a regular tree frog could experience the uncanny valley.
Tapichalaca treefrog (Hyloscirtus tapichalaca)
Sadly, it is only known from the Tapichalaca Biological Reserve in Ecuador.

Höre, dass weite Teile der deutschen Wissenschaftslandschaft erleichtert seien, dass „deutsche Betsy DeVos“ abdanken musste. Hochschulen und Forschende im ganzen Land würden „den längst fälligen Untergang“ von FDP-Wissenschaftsministerin Bettina Stark-Watzinger gebührend feiern.

Check out our new paper with cool results on a by-product mutualism in group hunting striped marlin! The study is based on my masters and is now published in @FunEcology! For more info and a cool video check thread below and find the paper here: https://t.co/AMZ58XqMHM
