My first first-author publication is out now in Environmental DNA! The first portion of my MS project focused on comparing sampling methodology for eDNA metabarcoding for reptiles and amphibians in wetlands. 🧬 🐸

What do evolution and adaptation have to do with predicting vulnerability to climate change? Find out in our new paper led by the amazing Dr. @brennaforester.bsky.social and featuring the WORLD'S COOLEST 🐸 just published in Molecular Ecology: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...!

Thrilled to see my master's paper is officially out! 🐸 More conspicuous green and black poison frogs not necessarily hold more alkaloids in their skin. We also found interesting frog behavioral differences across Costa Rican populations. academic.oup.com/cz/advance-art…

Out now in nature! Our comprehensive meta-analysis of global terrestrial and marine genetic diversity demonstrates rapid loss of genetic diversity and identifies conservation interventions that could mitigate this process nature.com/articles/s4158…

Genetic diversity has declined within two-thirds of more than 600 species over the past three decades, according to research published in nature. The findings highlight the need for conservation efforts to prevent genetic diversity loss. go.nature.com/3WGo8uJ

Las especies raras importan más de lo que crees 🦎🌿 En este nuevo estudio mostramos cómo la pérdida de anfibios con bajas abundancias afecta la diversidad funcional de los bosques tropicales en el Pacífico colombiano. 🌎 #Biodiversidad #Conservación

A letter that my colleagues and I wrote regarding the installation of a U.S. military base in the Galápagos Islands has been published in Science Magazine. This decision is unconstitutional, as it violates multiple articles of the Ecuadorian Constitution, which recognizes nature

Tiny Brazilian frogs’ inner ear canals are too small to help them balance well, explaining why they are clumsy jumpers, according to a Science Advances study. 🐸 Learn more during #AmphibianWeek: scim.ag/4k8af1C
