Turns out that hybridization is not widespread between Plethodon cinereus and P. electromorphus. Check out the results in a new paper in Ichthyology and Herpetology by Kuchta et al.: DOI link: doi.org/10.1643/h20210… 50-day free access link: ichthyologyandherpetology.org/ihbjbb/pbh2021…

@jfrtonini @frogsicles I enjoyed it ! Cool stuff!!!

Come by room 206D at 4pm to see pictures of cute frogs and learn about African biodiversity #JMIH2022

@Herpomania 😍🐍🦎🐸🌿

Learning about Sri Lankan frogs from @himidu_ at #JMIH202: huge diversity of Pseudophilautus (Rhacophoridae) in Sri Lanka, described based on morphology (snout angle length in this ex). But are the species valid? In one case nope! P. popularis and P. regius should be synonymized

@frogsicles Thank you Dr Tarvin, I’m so glad you attended and liked my talk!
