EXCITING BONUS: This paper presents the first published reference genome for the remarkable tailed frog (Ascaphus truei) from the U.S. Pacific Northwest. Along with its closest living relatives, New Zealand's Leiopelma, it is the most basal lineage of all living frogs!
What do evolution and adaptation have to do with predicting vulnerability to climate change? Find out in our new paper led by the amazing Dr. @BrennaRForester and featuring the WORLD'S COOLEST 🐸 just published in Molecular Ecology: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...! @Mol_Ecol
Re-upping this ad after losing applicants to long-term gigs (🎉 for them!). Please share with any PhD/Postdoc who might be interesting in genomics, amphibians, bioinformatics, teaching, and mentoring. Reach out to learn more!
Hiring a postdoc to work on @NSF-funded polyploid salamander genomics/evolution. ~$55k/year, 3 years, teaching opportunities built in. Start as early as May 2024. Great team of students + @Itgenm right now. See the PUI life. Indy is hugely underated. marian.peopleadmin.com/postings/2368
Congratulations to @Marc_Kouete, @MollyBletz, @b_labumbard, and @davidcblackburn on their discovery that mother caecilians not only feed their young with their skin, but also pass on their microbiome! Caecilians are mind-bogglingly cool. nytimes.com/2023/10/17/sci…
Are the genetic indicators of the Global Biodiversity Framework feasible? Yes. Pre-print out. And THREAD! of major results: #COP15 #SBSTTA25 #GBF @CoalitionConGen @seanmhoban @LindaLaikre @JMergeay @Conserva_Mas et al ecoevorxiv.org/repository/vie…
Despite the sobering results of the #GAA2, there is growing evidence that conservation efforts are positively impacting amphibians. The extinction risk of at least 63 species has been reduced, mostly due to improved protection and management of their habitats. 📸:Cybele Lisboa.
A huge thanks to the authors of this incredibly important paper on the status of and threats to global amphibian biodiversity for all of their hard work in pulling it together. This information is essentially for guiding amphibian conservation actions.

This study highlights an exciting example a potential conservation action that works for boosting amphibian populations that have been hammered by Bd. Science such as this that demonstrates successful conservation actions for amphibians are incredibly important.
In this week's inaugural launch of AmphibiaGen's "'Phib Friday," we feature an exciting new preprint showing evolutionary rescue in response to Bd, and the effectiveness of using Bd-resistant source populations for recovery of Mountain-yellow legged frogs: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
@taylormwilcox Congratulations, Taylor!! I look forward to enjoying the products of your research.
We are hiring #postdoc to join #GalapaGenomes to sequence/assemble whole genomes of Galapagos species from museum (aDNA) and modern samples. Bay Area/SF work @SFStateBIO @calacademy Please apply and share! [email protected] @CASBirdman Details jaimechaves.weebly.com and 👇

@OncEcoEvo Looking forward to meeting the "little guy" and his mom!
Critical thermal maximum (CTmax) has been criticized as being a poor metric of responses to ecologically realistic temperature increases in a warming world. As shown in this paper by @AmandaCicchino, @CGhalambor, and @fieldgenomics, a cold-water frog species tells us otherwise...
New from @AmandaCicchino @fieldgenomics @CGhalambor in #BiologyLetters - Linking critical thermal maximum to mortality from thermal stress in a cold-water frog ow.ly/61pL50OOqRG #ecophysiology #frog #thermalstress #evolution
@vickyflechas Bien hecho, loco!
New article alert! We investigated variation in body shape and calls in a gladiator treefrog 🐸, and why calls 🎵 vary within the species. It turns out they vary due to sexual selection, and not due to adaptation to the environment or genetic drift!🧬
And...stay tuned, as this is just the first in a series of recently accepted papers by Dr. @AmandaCicchino that dive deep into thermal limits and climate change vulnerability in the world's coolest frog, Ascaphus!!!
Interested in organismal responses to climate change? If so, you should check out this paper by Dr. @AmandaCicchino. Turns out, understanding intraspecific variation in thermal limits is KEY for predicting spatial vulnerability to climate change. @SICB_ @CSU_Ecology
Interested in how thermal landscapes -> organismal thermal limits -> vulnerability to climate change? Check out our paper in Freshwater Biology - we investigated these relationships between and *within* 2 cold-water frog species! 🐸 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/fw… 1/n
