Are juvenile frogs impacted by water levels and soil moisture?
Members of the Garcia Lab recently published in Frontiers, sharing a story about how water levels experienced by tadpoles and soil moisture experienced by terrestrial juveniles impact movement behavior.
Alan Dennis from Oregon State University Extension Service created a supplemental animation that illustrates the methods used in this study, and the visual storytelling is amazing!

Dr. Scott Heppell is on site at the Grouper Moon project (www.reef.org/groupermoonproject), diving on the west and of Little Cayman island in the central Caribbean. Video from today’s dive shows thousands of fish gathered together for their annual spawning event, which will probably happen tonight. Want to know the only place in the entire Caribbean where you can see thousands of endangered Nassau Grouper gathered to spawn? Yep, only on Little Cayman. This project, led by the Reef Environmental Education Foundation (REEF), in cooperation with the Cayman Islands Department of Environment, has led to substantial changes in Caymanian fisheries conservation law and the long term viability of this species. Read all about it at the link above and on REEF’s page at https://www.facebook.com/REEF.org/.

Totally, Back story: Camera set by 1st year MS student Maanav Kamath in the Taiama Ecological Preserve in the Pantanal region of Brazil. Jaguars in this region are highly aquatic, consuming large quantities of fish, caiman, and turtles. These jaguars are thought to be the largest-bodied and to live at the highest densities of any jaguar population on earth. Maanav previously worked with tigers in India with the Center for Wildlife Studies before coming to OSU where he now works with Dr. Taal Levi
