New preprint from @ekfischerlab! We looked at both cortisol and corticosterone in 5 species of poison frogs and found something unexpected...
ALT close-up of a poison frog (D. tinctorius) sitting under a green leaf facing the camera, it's underside and legs are light blue with black spots all over. It's face has a yellow-white spot on the nose and black along the sides. It's sitting next to a half coconut shell.
Why not both? A case study measuring cortisol and corticosterone in poison frogs biorxiv.org/cgi/content/shor… #bioRxiv
Frog Tube! Realizing a 9 year dream the live video feed of our frogs is finally live. You can find it on our dedicated community engagement website: fischerfrogfolks.com
Caution: Requires patience! Frogs live a slow-paced life.
frog friends: anyone have pictures of frog nests or nesting (broadly defined)? brooding chambers, burrows, foam or bubble nests? grateful for anything y'all are willing to share! please RT.

Evidence for transcriptional flexibility in parallel adaptation. Second chapter of my dissertation from 2015 (!) - sometimes good science is slow!
