Thrilled to announce version 2.0 of my poster featuring some of Madagascar's endemic frog species, to scale! This version features 176 species—40 more than version 1.1 (now retired)! Check it out! 🐸🧪 www.redbubble.com/i/poster/Som...

Reminder that what your child is interested in at the age of six could well foreshadow their entire career path. It did mine, at least. 🧪🦎

Super proud of @stancaf.bsky.social and @shubhamsoni.bsky.social for having led this important Natural History study. Surely you have heard about arboreal 🐍, but did you ever imagine them to dive to hunt for tadpoles in treeholes?! You're welcome! 👉 doi.org/10.1002/ece3... @klivvvienna.bsky.social
Climbing trees and changing tiny SD cards in canopy reaped us big rewards! First study from my PhD with the fantastic frog force! ✨⚡

Missed our #ECBB2026 Plenary Speaker reveals? Not to worry! Here is a quick recap of all the excellent speakers we'll be welcoming at September's meeting!
The big 4 of grant writing: 1. Credibility: The topic fits your expertise 2. Narrative: It's clear what is the problem, the solution, and why you’re the right person for it 3. Juicy details: Flex your mastery of the topic 4. The concept: You connect every part to the big question
Knowing how to give a good talk is a crucial skill to have, but it's mostly not formally taught very well. Here's my strategy for how to prepare for the presentation, actually present it, and then answer the questions.
Good piece by @natureportfolio.bsky.social. The erosion of thinking time—driven by admin, bureaucracy, industry agendas, and unrealistic output targets—stifles curiosity-led science. These pressures undermine innovation and the intellectual freedom vital for real progress. 🧪🌱🌍 #ScienceIsNotBusiness
I just loved this one! It is the discussions with my closest friends that I cherish the most! genomebiology.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....

It's the time of the year for emergency speed reading of all the books I'm going to gift friends and family. Wish me luck!
Know anyone looking for a PhD? Like phylogenies and R programming? Think behaviour is really neat? Isabella Capellini, Domhnall Jennings, Karina Vanadzina, and I have a funded PhD project on parental care macroevolution, based at Queen's University Belfast! www.findaphd.com/phds/project...

Do you need a salamander phylogeny? You're in luck! We put together the largest salamander phylogeny to date based on molecular markers and used more fossil calibrations than any other currently available trees. 765 salamander species! Check it out! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Recent time-calibrated amphibian phylogenies agree on the family-level relationships among extant salamanders but had disparate sampling regimes and i…

Hi, I am Shubham, an ecologist and herpetologist interested in broadscale ecology and behaviours that underlie the evolution of species. I am also interested in function and evolution of COLOURS. My research is heavily inspired by Natural History & I love herps and sometimes photograph them too :)
It’s still hard for me to drop messy sentences😭🫨
