"#poisonfrogs may be only a few cm in size, but when they breed, they carry their tadpoles between 20 to 200 m across the rainforest to find them the perfect puddle to grow in. Then they turn right around, and make their way 🏡 again." Nice story about 👉elifesciences.org/articles/80483

Biologist Andrius Pašukonis and colleagues wanted to study the navigational capabilities of poisonous frogs that are too small for most animal tracking devices. So he designed a Speedo-like harness. But his colleagues like the term 'G-string' better. cbc.ca/radio/asithapp…

Look who's here! It's my dear friend Andrius Pašukonis @frogtracker talking about the "fancy pants" he's been putting on tiny frogs to understand how they move around the rainforest 😊 Oh, and he's next in our @VetmeduniVienna #WilhelminembergSeminarSeries (info in comments)😉

WATCH: Researchers studying three species of poison frogs in South America came up with a unique solution to help track the frogs: tiny trackable radio-pants, which help study how male and female amphibians navigate their surroundings

Our study is featured on Stanford news: "Using tiny trackable pants and a “frog spa,” a Stanford University-led team has conducted the first known comparative study of how male and female amphibians navigate their surroundings." news.stanford.edu/?p=46090 via @Stanford @LOB_SU
