In their Perspective, @MollyCWomack &co champion the organism-centred approach, where you 'fall in love with your organism & let the questions pour out' showing how connecting with an organism can provide inspiration

📢Interested in doing fieldwork in the Amazon while studying 🐸 with amazing capabilities? Then this opportunity could be for you! Join @frog_tracker and me at @KLIVVWien for a PhD adventure on sensory ecology and cognition in #poisonfrogs 👇 Pls retweet!

We'll keep this short and brief.

In her #JEB100 ECR Spotlight, @ChloeFouilloux tells us about her #research, where she discovered that #poisonfrog #tadpoles that develop in cloudy #water are less likely to evade a predator than tadpoles reared in clear water 🧵1/2

Functional frog fashion. I had a lot of fun working on this story cbc.ca/radio/asithappens/fro…

"#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/8…

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/asithappens/fro…

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)😉

My first dry season data collection in Peru came to an end. Thanks to my PI @alaurenoconnell for supporting my research ideas. During the last months, I have been tracking four species of poison frogs Ameerega macero, A. shihuemoy, A. trivittata, and Allobates femoralis @LOB_SU

So thrilled to share with you our paper that highlights the role of the native communities for biodiversity conservation published now in Tropical Conservation Science journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.… Thanks to the native communities of Shipetiari, Shintuya, and Diamante

We know very little about how amphibians discover new water bodies. This field study shows that poison frog parents rely on olfactory cues to find new suitable water bodies. Check this short communication @frog_tracker

From orange juice to sea water, and between the ground and 4-story building: Researchers @uniofjyvaskyla @Stanford were surprised to find poison frog tadpoles surviving in an incredible range of chemical and vertical deposition sites @Ecol_Evol: bit.ly/3cKSK7c #JYUnique
