It’s the first time a frog—or any amphibian—has been observed pollinating a plant, researchers reported in 2023.

The axolotl has the ability to regenerate its brain.

Using single-cell transcriptomics, four Science studies in 2022 revealed evolutionary innovations in reptile and amphibian brains.

The axolotl, represented here by the Mexican axolotl Ambystoma mexicanum, has the ability to regenerate its brain. In this 2022 issue, a group of four papers profiles amphibian and reptile brain neurons with single-cell transcriptomics. Analyses lend insight into why the axolotl brain retains regenerative capability that the mammalian brain has lost as well as how structural brain innovations arose during evolution.

For #AmphibianWeek here is Nohayati’s Gliding Frog (Rhacophorus norhayatii), observed in Malaysia back in 2019. The extreme webbing between digits allows them to parachute from trees to the ground. #frogs #herps #NaturePhotography 🌿
Side image of a large green frog clinging to a leaf and facing left. The frog’s head, body, and limbs are green, and the fingers, toes, and underside of the limbs are yellow. The fingers and toes are very long, and there is a ridiculous amount of webbing between them, black colored with yellow streaks at the edge.

For #AmphibianWeek, a Mantady Bright-eyed Frog (Boophis tasymena), observed in SE Madagascar, 2023. A female with eggs slightly visible in her abdomen. The etymology of Boophis is uncertain, but I like to think it derives from the Greek "Bo-Opis" or "cow-eyed". #herps #frogs #NaturePhotography 🌿
Side view of a frog perched on a leaf and facing left. The color of the head, body, and upper surfaces of the legs is a pale green, peppered with bright red spots. The arms and upper abdomen are an orangish brown color. The eye covers are a coral red, and a yellowish-green stripe runs from the nose, through the eye, and unto the neck. The eye itself is an amazing blend of colors and patterns. The base color of the iris is a silvery white. The top half of the iris is edged with light blue, in a broken ring of sorts. The bottom half of the iris is overlaid with several dark triangular marks. The dark pupil is horizontally elliptical.

Few years ago I did some drawings for #AmphibianWeek:
Did you know that amphibians are one of the most endangered groups of animals on the planet? Why not support an amphibian conservation organization? I've made a donation to Amphibian Survival Alliance.

Amphibian Week is here!

Frogs, toads & newts need our help. Habitat loss, pollution & climate change are putting them at risk.

Even small actions like adding a pond or making your garden wildlife-friendly can help.
