DOI: 10.1002/etc.5477
Abstract: Amphibians have been facing global declines over the last decades from direct and indirect effects of anthropogenic activities. A contributor to declines is waterway contamination from agricultural runoffs of pesticides such as neonicotinoids. Beyond direct… read more here.

DOI: 10.1086/706463
Abstract: The freeze-tolerant wood frog, Rana sylvatica, is one of few vertebrate organisms that can tolerate freezing, with up to 70% of its total body water being converted into extracellular ice. Physiologically, wood frogs show no… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/ele.14002
Abstract: A limitation in bioacoustic studies has been the inability to differentiate individual sonic contributions from group-level dynamics. We present a novel application of acoustic camera technology to investigate how individual wood frogs' calls influence chorus… read more here.
