20 years ago, a hotel in Panama made international news when it rented out two rooms for rescued frogs. But this was just a temporary solution. Where are those frogs now? 🐸💚🌎🎧 Listen here: www.amphibianark.org/news/article... #Amphibian #Conservation #ConservationScience🌎 #frog #wildlife

Less sedentary as we thought? Grey partridges shift their home ranges several times a year to meet changing seasonal needs. A telemetry study of 200 tagged birds reveals surprising mobility—with important implications for conservation. doi.org/10.1002/wlb3... #ornithology 🪶 #conservationscience 🌍

Summer is arriving earlier in Iceland! Are wader species able to respond to the changing climate? It depends upon where they fly from: wadertales.wordpress.com/2026/02/28/m.... #conservationscience🌍 #climatechange
New episode is out! 🐸✨ Without conservation breeding programs, the Southern Corroboree frogs would most certainly be extinct due to a human-introduced disease. Listen to their rescue story here or wherever you get your #podcasts : bit.ly/4t8qAHC #ConservationScience🌏 #Nature #frog #SciComm
Cows have big feet! Creating the right habitat, by using cattle to graze saltmarsh, is a balancing act: wadertales.wordpress.com/2016/04/04/b... Blog from 4 April 2016 🎂🔟 #ConservationScience🌍
In Nova Scotia’s wetlands, skunk cabbage emerges in March by generating its own heat, melting snow, and resisting frost. Its heat and odor attract early insects, and it’s one of the first foods eaten by black bears after winter. #Conservation #EcologyandConservation #ConservationScience🌎 #Halifax

Waders/shorebirds have relatively high annual survival (and low productivity). Bird ringing/banding is key to mearsuring survival. When a survival rate falls it can have a rapid impact on population level. 🎂 Blog from 8 March 2018: wadertales.wordpress.com/2018/03/08/m... #ConservationScience🌍
The new Amphibian Ark #podcast is LIVE! 🐸🎙️ After 20 years rescuing amphibians in crisis, it's time you hear the stories of the people giving frogs, salamanders, and caecilians a second chance 💚 🎧 open.spotify.com/show/7K2t5Uk... #conservation #ConservationScience🌎 #wildlife #frog #addHerper 🐸✨
Do you have tracking data for waders? You can help new "Global Relevance of Protected Areas" project: www.globalwader.org/collaboratio... To learn more about how shorebird tracking is aiding conservation, check out this blog: wadertales.wordpress.com/2025/05/06/m... #ConservationScience🌍
Waders rely on networks of migrations sites. Blog about important paper by Martin Beal (@amigodeaves.bsky.social) that combines ringing, colour-ringing and tracking data for Black-tailed Godwits. wadertales.wordpress.com/2025/01/09/h... Good to finally meet Martin last week! #ConservationScience🌍
