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

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

If you want to hear more about the nitty-gritty of putting g-strings on #poisonfrogs, check out the recent interview and the associated article by @SheenaGoodyear for @cbcasithappens. It was a really fun chat! 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…

Our 'frog pants' on CNN! Although it's more of a 'panties' than 'pants.' Or, as my French colleagues call it: 'le string télémetrique.' Either way, it helps us track frogs in the rainforest! Thanks to @RNNouragues @CNRS_Nouragues @jocotoco_org @arcasapos for hosting our research!

Here is our latest research paper, where we use our frog trackers to understand the species and sex differences in frog spatial behavior: elifesciences.org/articles/8…

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
