Priest Lake, North Idaho is spectacular! Shout-out to Lonnie Johnson @Idparksandrec for suggesting Lookout Mt. and canoeing the Thoroughfare. Great views and good company.

"The team’s modeling experiments show that almost 90% of Bay warming is driven by atmospheric effects—warming air temperatures and the increase in heat energy emitted back to the Earth from the atmosphere due to greater concentrations of greenhouse gases." vims.edu/newsandevents/topst…

VIMS study reveals extent, seasonality, and causes of Bay warming

Results offer valuable perspectives on likely impacts and most effective responses.

Ryukyu Kajika Frog is the @AmphibiaWeb species of the week! Features my recent study with @XEBernal examining the functions of synchronized mating calls in these incredible animals.

Synchronized songs - Like other species, Japanese Ryukyu Kajika Frog males overlap their mating calls. Legett et al. (2021) found that females aren't turned off by the noisy hubbub. The multiple male melody decreases parasite and predator risk. amphibiaweb.org/

Warm temps this week have put #riverherring season round 2 into full swing. Check out this clip of river herring, likely blueback herring, spawning at our downstream antenna. We tagged 100 fish this week and hope to track them as they move upstream and past old #BloedeDam.

Beautiful day to wrap up @HDLegett temperature logger deployments! We are monitoring water temperature in 3 major #chesbay tributaries (Patapsco, Choptank, Rappahannock) this spring during the #riverherring spawning run. #fieldwork

Outsmarting the enemy: Tree frogs rely on illusions to find mates without being eaten

tree frogs become easy targets for predators and parasites when they send mating calls, but they're finding a way to fool their enemies with a little help from a wingman.

Recent @ASNAmNat paper with @XEBernal and @cthemingway12 is featured in Science News! "Pug-nosed tree frogs use an auditory trick to evade predators and woo mates" sciencenews.org/article/pug-… The media attention has been a nice bookend to my grad school journey.

A new study finds that some tree frogs exploit what’s known as the precedence effect to get females attention safely.
