Mom I’m on @netflix. David Attenborough narrated my research I can die happy now. #lifeincolor #colsci @RZ_Lab

Check out our article in @NSTA Science Scope highlighting the inquiry-driven module we created with the @RZ_Lab, Ectotherm ER: Frogs Under the Weather, connecting amphibian decline with climate change nsta.org/science-scope/scien…

So excited about Sir David Attenborough's new nature documentary "Life in Colour"!! Super happy to be involved a tiny bit (scientific consultant) and can't wait to see all of the episodes when it airs in the US!! #colsci #poisonfrog #sexualselection

This episode also features research by @yusan_yang on my new favourite furious frogs! Preview of her paper and experiment in the thread below - make sure to tune in on Monday to hear more:

A fun project with lots of angry frogs - look how angry he is at the call playback! #colsci #poisonfrog Also retagging @Cori_Zawacki since I failed that in the main tweet lol

👏👏 @LA_Brannelly gave a great keynote presentation as the Wiley #NextGenerationEcologist award winner at #ESAus20 this morning! Alpine tree frogs have a plastic reproductive response to chytrid infection and understanding this mechanism helps us protect the endangered species🐸

Here’s 40” by 40” of amphibian admiration! This piece is from my 2018 artist residency at @RZ_Lab . It’s included in a catalog of works from 2018 and prior. Message me here or at ashleycecil.com/contact to get the PDF with prices for your holiday shopping.

Happy to announce a PhD position available in my lab to work on an NSF funded project studying the role of learning in speciation (using poison frogs as a model system) in @PittBioSci in the @RZ_Lab

The last of my main thesis chapters now published in @BehavEcol 🎉 Females prefer same-colored males in the polymorphic strawberry poison frog, but male territorial competition can limit pref expression. #colsci

Curious about #amphibians, #disease #ecology, and #ecophysiology?
Then join @LECBiodiversity and @WUSTLBio's #EEPB group in welcoming:

So incredibly proud of @Layla_Freeborn, who defended her dissertation today and became the newest Dr. to emerge from the @RZ_Lab ! 🐸❤️🤗🤓🙌

Paper out 🥳 Prior residence effect, not color or body size, determines success in male-male territorial competition in the wild in a polymorphic poison frog population.

Inspired by how happy I was finding guppy silhouettes yesterday, here's my contribution: poison frog researchers, here are some strawberry poison frog (Oophaga pumilio) silhouettes if you need it for making figures. Uploaded to @PhyloPic: phylopic.org/name/86d8b3de-b… #poisonfrog

An international collaboration of researchers has found that frog diseases can be detected in environmental samples like soil and water @LA_Brannelly @onehealthres @FVASunimelb
