Congratulations to @Marc_Kouete, @MollyBletz, @b_labumbard, and @davidcblackburn on their discovery that mother caecilians not only feed their young with their skin, but also pass on their microbiome! Caecilians are mind-bogglingly cool. nytimes.com/2023/10/17/sci…

Are the genetic indicators of the Global Biodiversity Framework feasible? Yes. Pre-print out. And THREAD! of major results: #COP15 #SBSTTA25 #GBF @CoalitionConGen @seanmhoban @LindaLaikre @JMergeay @Conserva_Mas et al ecoevorxiv.org/repository/vie…

Despite the sobering results of the #GAA2, there is growing evidence that conservation efforts are positively impacting amphibians. The extinction risk of at least 63 species has been reduced, mostly due to improved protection and management of their habitats. 📸:Cybele Lisboa.

A huge thanks to the authors of this incredibly important paper on the status of and threats to global amphibian biodiversity for all of their hard work in pulling it together. This information is essentially for guiding amphibian conservation actions.

Critical thermal maximum (CTmax) has been criticized as being a poor metric of responses to ecologically realistic temperature increases in a warming world. As shown in this paper by @AmandaCicchino, @CGhalambor, and @fieldgenomics, a cold-water frog species tells us otherwise...

New article alert! We investigated variation in body shape and calls in a gladiator treefrog 🐸, and why calls 🎵 vary within the species. It turns out they vary due to sexual selection, and not due to adaptation to the environment or genetic drift!🧬
