Fantastic to finally show off our beautiful baby harlequins. @McrMuseum might be closed but our exciting work continues regardless! Thanks for the lovely write up @danithecole @ManchesterMill. Sorry for talking non-stop for 1.5 hours! We really love our frogs here 😅🐸🐸🐸

Another lovely wee 2800 year old detail I spotted @BrightonMuseums on Saturday and of interest to @Matthew0Donnell: the frog-headed goddess Hekat (her name is given in #hieroglyphs above her head), a protective presence for the deceased on the exterior of a cartonnage coffin 🐸💚

@EgyptMcr @McrMuseum Oh wow!! I love these 💚🐸. Frogs are often linked with fertility in cultures around the world, would the same be the case in Egypt?

On #FrogFriday (remember that?!), here are two adorable amphibians I spotted in Cairo last month. 2000 years a part in date, one appears in the mastaba of Kagemni and the other on a shrine of Nectanebo I. Paging @Matthew0Donnell + @McrMuseum's #Vivarium team! 🐸

Check out this great pre-print from @amdecology ‘s MRes, which uses #eDNA to investigate links between amphibian communities and Bsal in the Netherlands. Very happy to have contributed to this project, with Bd’s scary little cousin! Hopefully will lead to further collaboration 🐸

Research Briefing with @amael on the GAA2 paper in @nature. Amphibians are the most at-risk vertebrates worldwide (41% threatened with extinction). We MUST scale up investment in amphibian conservation to prevent further extinctions and reverse declines rdcu.be/dnOb

Thrilled to announce the publication of the 2nd Global Amphibian Assessment, a collaboration of 100+ co-authors & contributions by 1000+ experts. We now need a global movement to catalyze the recovery of the world’s amphibians. #SaveAmphibians @ASG_IUCN @amphibiansorg @SynchEarth
Re:wild@rewild

(1/2) The 2nd Global Amphibian Assessment published today in @Nature reveals climate change is emerging as the major driver of amphibian declines. Scientists assessed 8,000+ species for @ASG_IUCN #SaveAmphibians #SaveSalamanders 🐸 🌎

This time last week I was presenting my talk on eDNA metabardcoding for amphibians in Costa Rica at #SEH2023, 22nd European congress of Herpetology in Wolverhampton. A fantastic conference, with some amazing talks, researchers and professionals from across Europe! #eDNA #frogs
