A request to make a small donation if you are able: My friend and colleague, Gumercindo Crispin, is undergoing surgeries after having broken two vertebrae in his neck. He is an important force for science, community, and conservation Read more @ GoFundMe: gofund.me/4acac23a

This is a call to value microreserves and use them strategically-- each one is an ✨opportunity ✨to draw microendemics, critically important habitats, and critically important populations into our PA network-- particularly for currently underrepresented taxa!

For more explorations of microreserves as a tool in amphibian conservation, see our paper! 👀👀(Resumen en español disponible con los suplementos)

What should we think about when creating new protected areas (PAs) to meet with #30x30 goals? Our new @CommsBio article focuses on amphibians to explore the conservation potential of microreserves: tinyurl.com/2a5ky95y with @wavingfrog @acatenazzi @koomapper

University of California folks-- how are you dealing with reducing your google drive storage 😵‍💫 Getting threats of discontinued email service... Have spent DAYS trying to reduce below 5GB limit as Berkeley alum and just my email still consumes 7.32GB !

Evolution of the 👀 vision 👀 side of visual signaling in frogs-- great work by @majonavarrete4 in the @frogsicles lab!

Environmental correlates & evolution of skin morphology, highlighting the endless value of #naturalhistorycollections with @MollyCWomack 🐸🐸

Lots of folks from @MVZUCB and @UCBerkeley at the #WCH10 (world congress of herpetology)! 🐍🐸🦎🧪 @Valeria_RamCas @majonavarrete4 @dianaguilr @ras_nielsen @EmmaSteigerwald also @MollyCWomack not in photo

A molecular clock for chytrid infections using telomeres and methylation? Cool ideas from @TorresSanchezM !

#WCH10 delegates! We are looking for folks who do snake outreach/education programs in Brasil, Iran, north and east Africa, China, and Japan, to participate in this study. Please share!

if you want to learn about how pumpkin toadlets, their skin bacteria, and chytrid fungus respond to experimental drought, come see my talk at @WCHerp #WCH10 at 12:30 in room 2 🎃🐸

Can we think of chytrid-affected species as essentially new species? Cool talk by @BenCScheele on how chytrid is reshaping distributions & fundamental ecology of species 🐸🐸

#WCH10 folks, consider coming to my talks on 🐸 The genetics of contemporary, climate-driven range expansion, noon, rm 3 🐸 & 🏔️ Genetic adaptation to altitudinal extremes, 6pm, rm 2 🏔️ in the world's highest elevation frogs!

@lpipes @SOESTnews @uhmanoa Congratulations, Lenore!!!

What a dream to be going back to the Pacific to start my lab. I am thrilled to announce that I will be an incoming Assistant Professor in @SOESTnews @uhmanoa 🌺 starting in September. Beyond excited to be joining the labs there pushing the envelope in eDNA technology!
