Our latest research highlights the urgent need for conservation management of the endangered Littlejohn's Tree Frog. Genetic data reveals 5 distinct clusters, small populations and loss of genetic diveristy. #BioDiversityCrisis #conservation #frogs rdcu.be/da5Ub

Proud to say I have submitted my PhD thesis!! It's been an amazing few years with lots of new friends and a new place to call home. Grateful to everyone who helped me get it done. ALSO HOW AMAZING IS THIS ARTWORK MY AMAZING MUM MADE!! @jenniewren94

Check out our new article in The @ConversationEDU talking about a new way to detect the amphibian fungal disease in Asia. Was fantastic to collaborate with such good people on such an important project. @SreedharanGaya3 @Science_Academy @ConservationUon theconversation.com/the-worl…

The world’s worst animal disease is killing frogs worldwide. A testing breakthrough could help save...

The chytrid fungal disease has been decimating frog populations worldwide for decades, and research progress has been slow. A new method for detecting the disease could help change its course.

Beautiful work by @Stocklet_ at #ESAus21 🙌 Detections of adult and tadpole southern heath frogs declined after the Black Summer fires, but did populations actually decline? 🔥 Answer: yes, but so far there are no #genetic impacts on populations post fire 🐸💕 #FindESAus21 #fire – at Melbourne, Victoria

Are you, or do you know of an enviro/ecology graduate in Australia who'd like to study frog development under different conditions? We have honours positions available. Plz message if you have questions. Any RTs would be gr8! #ESAus20 #wildlife #conservation @ConservationUon

For #ESAus20 I'll be talking at 2pm about what these frogs get up to when on one is around to see! Filling in some major reproductive biology knowledge gaps for Litoria littlejohni and thinking about reproductive strategies in a chytrid world🐸 @EcolSocAus

Very excited to present at #ESAus20 today (11.30am)! I'll be chatting about the effect of coal mining on habitat preferences of Litoria littlejohni and Litoria watsoni, as part of my PhD 🐸 #ecology #ESAus2020 @EcolSocAus #scicomm #conferencetime

Beyond stoked to have received the Holsworth Endowment. Somebody pinch me... Time to get cracking and quantify the genetic impacts of the fires on the newly described Litoria watsoni

This frog is taking hits from all sides. Leaving it with less than a 300m buffer between logging camps is a joke. Article fails to mention that these populations have just been listed as a new species - greatly increasing their endangered status. amp.theage.com.au/environmen…

Winter surveys completed with a record number of frogs, including this flying fellow

Putting on 5 to 6 layers of clothing while we wait for the sun to set. How L. Littlejohni are able to call and breed in this cold is beyond me and my frozen fingers. #frogfriday #imfreezing @WallacxFrogging

I've seen some melted songmetres this year but I think this one takes burnt to a new level.

A ridiculously nice birthday gift from @daniwallace95. Need to find a beautiful frame for it now!!!

A very happy #FrogFriday and hoppy birthday to @Stocklet_ !! Together with @WallacxFrogging, they are investigating the ecology and population genetics of the cryptic Heath frog, Litoria littlejohni. Here's my finished rendition of their beautiful study species! #sciart #herps

For #AmphibianWeek "Secret Lives of Amphibians" I made a video to showcase Litoria littlejohni, am Australian treefrog. Very little is known about the ecology of L. littlejohni and we hope to unlock some of their secrets through our work!!
