I’m looking for folks teaching herpetology this spring who might want to participate in a larger iNaturalist team sightings page with my penn state students. Cool chance to learn about other regions and see differences in phenology

We have a new newt in Washington state Eastern red-spotted newts have shown up in NW Washington & are successfully breeding 1st time (I think) this species has established beyond its range Grateful the word is getting out so we can track this better bellinghamherald.com/news/lo…

Whatcom amphibian experts untangling mystery of the red-spotted newt. They need your help

“We want to figure out how large these populations are,” amphibian monitoring scientist said. “Citizen science is going to be critical.”

Awesome new work with @Hoosier_Dani and Brittingham on #NoisePollution (gas compressors) and nesting success. Check out the video! @agsciences @PSUecosystems news.psu.edu/story/647898/20…

Some songbirds are not dissuaded by constant, loud noise emitted by natural gas pipeline compressors and will establish nests nearby. The number of eggs they lay is unaffected by the din, but their...
