Seven #NewSpecies of #frogs discovered in Madagascar phys.org/news/2024-10-frog-spe

Communicator whistles: A Trek through the #taxonomy of the #Boophis marojezensis complex reveals 7 new #treefrogs from #Madagascar vertebrate-zoology.arphahub.co

"they emit special whistling sounds... These reminded the team of #StarTrek, where similar sound effects are frequently used... That's why they named the frogs after Kirk, Picard, Sisko, Janeway, Archer, Burnham, & Pike—7 of the most iconic captains"

Terrible Invasive Story 🙁

I had a real treat the other day when a Green Tree Frog visited me in the hot tub. I used to see these almost every day, but no more. Spring used to bring a cacophony of frogs chirping, but no more.

The reason is "The Beast" aka the #Invasive #CubanTreeFrog which EATS OTHER TREE FROGS! They are huge and toad-like. I kill them when I find them, but the battle is already lost where I live in north #Florida.

As you can see from the #Map, these invaders are moving north and are now #Endemic in my area (red circle). 👎

It's hot & dry in #wsanecterritory. It feels early this year.... The ephemeral ponds have dried up, seeds are rattling in their pods. When the cool wet forest friends come seeking a moist spot in your flowerbeds it's time to be extra careful about fire. #Pacifictreefrog was perched on my stick fence when I came home from work. I sang them a little song. Offered some water. Then left them alone. In the morning they were gone. #treefrog #treefrogs #frog #frogs #dryseason # #かえる #蛙  #frosch
