Bad Newts: Amphibians are in Serious Trouble

My colleagues and I have just had a paper published in Nature, based on our efforts to assess almost all amphibian species for the IUCN Red Lists. The major takeaway messages:

It is a bad time to be an amphibian

Two fifths of all amphibians are threatened with extinction.

Salamanders are the most threatened group; three fifths of all salamanders are threatened with extinction!

Climate change is a major driver of amphibian declines globally

Habitat loss, especially due to agriculture, is a problem for the vast majority of amphibians

Chytrid pandemics have caused and continue to cause catastrophic declines of both salamanders and frogs

Protected areas and careful management are working as strategies! They are actively improving the outlook of some species

As many as 222 amphibian species may have gone extinct in recent times; of those, 185 are suspected extinct but not yet confirmed.

Our paper is Open Access, you can read it here!

day 1421

#uh just a heads up if you expand the tags to see all there's. a lot. very long #amphibian #frog #poison dart frog #based on my most popular frog to date (day 651)#inspired by everyone pointing out what they think it looks like #here's a fun secret fact the original guy is actually a phantasmal poison dart frog (Epipedobates tricolor)#(according to the original artists title of the drawing)#not Anthony's poison arrow frog (Epipedobates anthonyi)#i feel too awkward to really point it out though because they look the exact same. i cannot tell if there is a difference #im half convinced the same frog was just discovered and named twice #its very curious btw if you go on the (english) wikipedia page for either species it doesn't mention the other #while hereptiles.info (no idea if this is a trustworthy site) lists both names as common names for the same frog (incorrectly??)#while inaturalist lists them as two different frogs. curiously with tricolor having wayyyyy fewer photos #ok anyway that's my rant i went on a whole journey trying to figure out if these are the same frog or not and i have no answer #i did some more 'research' and i am more confused. some sources seem to imply they are now considered the same species ( e. tricolor)#i think my conclusion is i am willing to agree the drawing looks more like e. anthonyi. it seems like tricolor is generally less vibrant re #and the white is darker and more green?#i feel like thumblr should stop me from typing more in the tags at this point this is a whole essay #at this point i am failry convinced this is specifically the Santa Isabel frog. isthat the real subspecies or morph or whatever #or just the name pet sites are using to sell it??#i even found some sources (frog selling websites) refering to it as “Epipedobates Anthonyi 'Santa Isabel' Phantasmal Poison Dart Frog” lol #Anyways if you read this far hi. species are confusing. i am not a frog scientist #the first few tags are like an hour old now i just kept trying to figure it out and adding more tags

#sci speaks #sci sings #it's something i've wanted to do for so so long.. all my rolemodels play the banjo.#dolly parton.. kermit the frog... lazlo (from camp lazlo)#oh! the song is panic vertigo by the wrecks. i love the wrecks. they resonate deeply with me. i too am a wreck.#also this song is so easy to play. so sexy when a song only has three chords and none of them are G.

me struggling how to feel about brett and reagan’s relationship because on one hand their friendship is so important and they support and care each other sm and brett only wants reagan to be happy (especially when ron happened) not to mention the lack of m/f friendships in media that stay platonic can negatively affect people’s perceptions of m/f relationships as ALWAYS needing to be romantic even most times no it does not- especially when said m/f ship is super toxic or feels forced/has no chemistry

but on the other HAND (haha pun) brett and reagan’s growing support for each other and chemistry is definitely going to become stronger as the series goes on and they’re so compatible because they’re so comfortable with each other makes it really hard for me (personally) to deny there’s no possibility of them ending up together because they’re so GOOD for each other and I need more representation of m/f couples actually LIKING each other that aren’t just the same “haha I hate my wife/gf” jokes we’ve had to suffer for DECADES

regardless please im begging at the writers LET THEM BE HAPPY

#frog speaks #inside job #reagan ridley #brett hand #breagan #the end of season two DESTROYED me I want reagan to be happy FOR ONCE #its 2 am go to sleep

Hot damn. Great question, I'd love to tell you.

High Fantasy

Look, this rainfrog is called Breviceps bagginsi, so I don't have a lot of choice, now do I?

[src]

Also, I would go with them to the end. Into the very fires of Mordor.

Low Fantasy

Phyllomedusine hylids have a certain weird clown marionette vibe to them. Just look at these Pithecopus rohdei.

[src]

Lovecraftian

The male Rhinoderma darwinii raises his tadpoles in his vocal sac.

Sci-Fi

Gephyromantis pseudoasper sometimes wear handsome stripes—very Space Age™

But more importantly, their calls evoke a battle with laser-blasters.

I filmed this calling male in 2017 at an obscene hour of the morning.

Horror

Trichobatrachus robustus, aka the Hairy Frog, has flanks and thighs covered in weird, hair-like outgrowths that increase oxygen exchange over its skin, and BREAKS ITS FINGERS TO STAB YOU WITH CLAWS MADE OF BONE

[src]

Romance

Breviceps males physically glue themselves to the back-ends of females, and if that's not romance, I don't know what is.

[src]

Comedy

Nyctimantis arapapa are probably amongst the funniest-looking frogs out there.

[src]

Adult

The 'poly' in Polypedates may be a double entendre

[src]

Crime and Mystery

Calyptocephalella gayi is a Galaxy Brain frog.

[src]

Speculative

Myobatrachus gouldii is basically what would happen if you decided to try to build a turtle, but you only had frog pieces in the kit.

[src]

tbh one Azem reincarnation I also lean towards as I was rambling in the tags the other day about, is Haldrath on account of becoming a wandering unaffiliated dragoon post-Incident, partially out of necessity but also because with hindsight now his story mirrors what Azem did to the convocation after Zodiark.

The follow up to that headcanon is "Lizzy what about the Dragoon 50 stuff? It's so vague about why we see him there because the reincarnation lore wasn't established." That's where I produce a box from under the table and open it to give you a peek of the headcanon that while Haldrath was Azem, yes, while he was in his wandering era he fathered children with commonfolk and smash cut down the bloodline to Some Shepherd Boy Called Estinien being a lost prince of Ishgard (Do not tell him it will ruin everything if he knows or this ever becomes plot relevant. He'll never come home to Ishgard ever again for one :P)

#ffxiv #endwalker spoilers #Also I am not putting Ishgard through this. Hilda would hunt me for sport personally.#if you look at original Estinien under the helmet next to Haldrath's face they look startlingly similar #... Frog put a grandfatherly hand on his shoulder once and had no idea why
