Excited to share the first paper from my PhD!

We looked at what traits help Aneides salamanders excel at climbing using museum specimens, CT scans, SEM, and more! No claws or toe pads, so how do they do it? In short, with long limbs, big feet and grippy toes! 🦎🧪

Need some motiv-ocean to leap into the weekend?

🐟 Leaping blennies are amazing amphibious fish who can launch themselves off rocks and into the air up to 50 times their body length.

🌊 These extraordinary terrestrial fish shore do know how to make a splash, both in and outside the water!

The Roadless Rule has protected roadless forests since 2001, keeping them free from logging, road-building, and other industrial development.

Now the Trump administration wants to strip protections from 45 million of those acres.

Please add your voice to oppose this plan: biodiv.us/4ngK1vC
