The coquí 🐸 are literally lining up outside our behavioral testing chambers here on the Big Island, HI.
They can't wait to become data points!
Working with #invasivespecies in tropical paradise has its perks. 🌴🌊

A big day: Our first empirical paper since setting up the lab @iBioIllinois (in the middle of a pandemic) is out in PNAS! Evolution of acoustic signals in a biparental poison frog. Read more here: pnas.org/doi/epdf/10.1073/pn…

This work was also just featured by lead author @moss_etal as part of #ABSTakeover. x.com/AnimBehSociety/status/…

We’re in hour 3 of #ABStakeover with @moss_etal, and it’s high time for some #FrogFacts 🐸. Did you know that neotropical poison frogs are not only toxic and colorful, but are also great parents? Check out the diversity in parental care modes 👇

frog friends: anyone have pictures of frog nests or nesting (broadly defined)? brooding chambers, burrows, foam or bubble nests? grateful for anything y'all are willing to share! please RT.

90% of my #SICB2022 talk is photos of these adorable goobers, who needs data??

evidence for environmentally mediated phenotypic convergence in postdocs? underlying NSF Fellowship funding mechanism also convergent.

Another moment to brag about our versatile undergrads: loved seeing @thomasqparrish perform with @XtensionChords. In the lab Thomas is doing his @iBioIllinois honors project on toe tapping in poison frogs.

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

We're lucky to have lots of multi-talented folks in the lab! Undergrad Molly Podraza @mpod54 plays trumpet in the @MarchinIllini. In our lab she is exploring how frogs use environmental cues to make parental decisions.

To identify individual frogs in group tanks, we take photos of their unique patterns - usually of their back or belly. But these D. tinctorius poison frogs also have some adorable facial patterning! #herpetology #poisonfrogs
