Never before have I seen a frog so fake looking. I imagine this is what it would look like if a regular tree frog could experience the uncanny valley. Tapichalaca treefrog (Hyloscirtus tapichalaca) Sadly, it is only known from the Tapichalaca Biological Reserve in Ecuador.

Höre, dass weite Teile der deutschen Wissenschaftslandschaft erleichtert seien, dass „deutsche Betsy DeVos“ abdanken musste. Hochschulen und Forschende im ganzen Land würden „den längst fälligen Untergang“ von FDP-Wissenschaftsministerin Bettina Stark-Watzinger gebührend feiern.

Replying to @WCHerp
@WCHerp #WCH10 Organizers and moderators, I implore you to stick to the schedule. I understand tech related delays. But if someone cancels, please do not continue on with the next speaker and push talks forward. Many people are missing talks they had planned to see.

My 1st article for @NatGeo - featuring a California cicada that had been missing since World War 1. The article also covers how @inaturalist is being used by cicada researchers to track the activity patterns of rare cicadas. (1/n) nationalgeographic.com/anima… via @NatGeo

🌡️ Our new study on mollies from geothermal springs unveils a unique twist – these fish maintain thermal limits under severe hypoxia! Against theory, no loss in heat tolerance under ZERO oxygen was observed! 1/2 tinyurl.com/y8vhk52a @igb @scioi @ujat #ThermalTolerance #fish

NEW PAPER: Ever wondered why insects fly in all sorts of crazy patterns around lights at night? So did we! We set about recording flying insects to work out what's going on. I'll summarise what we found in this 🧵. Spoiler: We don't think they confuse lights with the moon.
