Another arrival to our vernal wetland! This beautiful Spotted Salamander (Ambystoma maculatum) was one of the first to arrive to breed in this particular area. You can view this (and others!) enlarged here :flic.kr/p/G3UvTu #herpetology #salamander #wildlifephotography

New #paper: #turtles learn the locations of traps, and periodically relocating traps increases capture & recapture rates and improves assessments of population size & community structure. Great job @EthanHollender for leading this one. #Research #Ecology publish.csiro.au/wr/Fulltext…

I was disabled by LongCovid in early 2020. I was mostly bed-bound for the first 2 years. For the last 6 months, I improved a bit, but activity is totally incapacitating. I have cyclical relapses out of the blue. It’s not going away, & I’ve accepted it’s likely permanent.

Fun fact: Male Frogs croak to attract a mate. It is especially common to hear frogs croaking during the spring at night after it rains.🐸 💋💕 #naturalhabitatshorts #naturalhabitat #naturalhabitok

Louisiana folks in academia—there’s a bill called SB 76 in the state senate right now that proposes eliminating fees for graduate student workers! If you’d like to provide a short testimonial voicing support of the bill, please add it to this form: forms.gle/j3iYH2nrPhdffUPz5

Yesterday I was part of a discussion on paper writing and I would like to share a tidbit that has stayed with me for many years regarding writing a paper's introduction: Write it like you're crafting the movie version of The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring

Please update your terminology if you do not want to be part of the problem: 🧵 * If you're talking about masks or vaccine passports, they're protections, not restrictions. Seatbelts and drunk driving laws and driver's licenses are not restrictions. 1/n
