ABC FeedsSydney brick pit becomes arena in fight to save iconic frog
By Declan Bowring
Chytrid fungus has been linked to the extinction of 90 frog species around the world. In a long-abandoned Sydney brick pit, a new front has opened in the fight to save an iconic species.
Dan McCulloughIt’s vernal pool season!
Turn up the VOLUME and enjoy the quacking of ducks, errr, I mean Wood Frogs!
Adam OnzaWent to the frog stream. I didn't realize the kid was planning to abduct some babies.🥶
I'd like to go for a night-time walk there sometime. See if I can spot any amphiumids. I hear that it is quite rare to see one. It's like the giant squid of the south, in puddles, ditches &c.
They have some wicked teeth. So only looking, no touching!😅 #amphibians
Carlton CarnivoresNew video out!
A relatively short one again, as on this day we attempted visiting Mammoth Cave!...but the coincidence of it being during the government shutdown last year meant, the cave itself was not actually open (a disappointment that will hopefully be remedied in near future). Despite that, the surrounding area was still traversable, and on the hikes there were a few critters that did in fact make themselves known!

Mark#Beavers breathe new life into Dorset as dams built, #biodiversity returns
Providing end-of-year report, the #NationalTrust project, said it's thrilled beavers were reshaping their home in #Dorset; they felled #trees to construct a 35m #dam, slowing flow of a stream & creating a deep, #wildlife-rich pool
#Coppicing trees allowed more light in & improved #habitats for #plants, #insects, #amphibians, #birds, #bats; may stop flooding on nearby road

Climate variability poses a threat to cold blooded animals
Climate change a threat to ectotherms
study has found that cold blooded #animals (#ectotherms) are unable to adjust physiologically to daily temperature fluctuations, a limitation that could leave them increasingly vulnerable as climate change drives even greater temperature variability.
(Didn't we know that already?)

Climate variability poses a threat to cold blooded animals
Research from Murdoch University has found that cold blooded animals (ectotherms) aren't able to physiologically adjust to daily temperature fluctuations as previously assumed. This could leave them vulnerable to the impacts of climate change.

Dunno, but you can help them not get squished at Hidden Valley Nature Center!
