Check out this great pre-print from @amdecology ‘s MRes, which uses #eDNA to investigate links between amphibian communities and Bsal in the Netherlands. Very happy to have contributed to this project, with Bd’s scary little cousin! Hopefully will lead to further collaboration 🐸 – at Manchester, England

As parliament debate #AccessToNature today, a personal essay.
Deep in my valley is a tree so old it makes my bones ache. There are only a handful like it in the country, and its boughs harbour some of our oldest stories.
Yet almost no-one has ever seen it. 🧵

Happy #WorldFrogDay! I love working with such an amazing diversity of animals that form a critically important component of a healthy environment. They protect water quality, control insect populations, & are simply lovely animals. Next time you see a frog, give it a smile!🐸🙂
Happy #WorldFrogDay! This week we will be celebrating our conservation collaboration with @Panwildlife - the Harlequin Frog project aims to protect these beautiful but critically endangered species. Save the frogs and save the forests 🐸💚🌳. (Atelopus varius @McrMuseum)
