Very sad to hear of this. I met Emma at conference I organized in Montreal in 2019. She had a stellar reputation, so I invited her as a keynote speaker. She was charismatic & inspirational. Students in particular told me they enjoyed meeting her. Wonderful person. theconversation.com/emma-johnsto...

We’re in the second week of our ID-a-thon, and we’d love your help sorting reptiles into four broad categories: snakes, lizards, turtles & tortoises, and crocodilians. Learn more: tr.ee/identifyweek2 🐍🐊🐢

You can help make identifications on iNaturalist right from your computer! It’s the second week of our ID-a-thon, and we’re kicking it off with sorting amphibian observations into broad categories like frogs, salamanders, and caecilians. Learn more: tr.ee/identifyweek2 👀🐸✨

What an extraordinary opportunity to have been able to present my research on Wood Frogs 🐸 at my first ASAB conference in Edinburgh, Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿. Already looking forward to my next time at ASAB! #ASABWinter2025

Excited to be in the beautiful city of Edinburgh 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 for the Winter 2025 ASAB conference! I’ll be presenting a poster on my master’s research tomorrow 🐸! #ASABWinter2025

This week I had the opportunity to represent Université de Sherbrooke at #CSEE2025, presenting my research on Eastern chipmunk behaviour and life-history. I am honoured to have been able to attend, and discuss the future of ecology and evolution with both new and old colleagues and friends.

I had the opportunity of presenting the first preliminary results of my project this week at #CSEE2025, which we hosted in Sherbrooke. I’m extremely grateful to have met amazing researchers and fellow students, most of which, love frogs as much as I do 🐸.

With field work about to finish, here are a some pictures from the last few weeks 🐸!

🚨 Paper alert 🚨 My first MSc chapter is finally published! If you wonder how we accurately and precisely estimate age and birthdates of harbour seal pups, read this very cool paper we did! 🦭 Stay tuned for chapter 2! wildlife.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Colossal is back with their totally BS claims. They reverse engineered snps into 14 GENES and claim they changed a grey wolf into a dire wolf. 1/n time.com/7274542/colo...

Colossal Bioscience did not revive dire wolves, despite a sensationalist Time Magazine cover story. Making genetically modified animals that are cosplaying as extinct species is not de-extinction.

Wood frogs are back in Sherbrooke 🇨🇦 and they’re as loud as ever! Mating season should be in the coming week.

Field season is just around the corner! Getting my mesocosms filled up slowly but surely 🐸

Thank you to whoever made this

Blown away by this paper on body size variation among 11,264 (!!!) measured plethodontid salamanders over an elevational gradient. Super surprised to see that it is not temperature that has the main explanatory role, but mostly humidity and precipitation 🧪🦎 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

New paper in @nature.com led by @patricepottier.bsky.social! We demonstrated global vulnerability of amphibians to warming, threatening 10% of >5,000 species examined. How did we do it? See thread🧵 Paper: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

With the federal election approaching, it’s time to demand evidence-informed leadership. That’s why we’re launching The Vote Science Campaign 2025: a non-partisan campaign to put science at the heart of decision-making. 🧵⬇️

I will be away election day and will miss the advance polls, so I voted this morning at the Election Canada office - apparently the second voter for the riding, after my wife! Voting is both a duty and privilege - we should not take it for granted.🇨🇦
