The bat houses at the University of Florida - it started as a passion project of a few and has grown into a campus, cultural event 🦇 It was so cool waiting for sunset and watching these little Mexican free tailed bats emerge from the houses in the thousands!

Heatwaves, droughts, and heavy rainfall - the negative effects of climate change are already impacting our ecosystems. But do we understand by how much?

Spent the last 4 days in the Variety Woods logging concession in #Guyana, setting #cameratraps and cracking my neck looking for monkeys I was painfully reminded that mammal fieldwork requires atleast 10km of walking 😭 …my poor feet.

Roadside vegetation is so interesting to observe…full of thorns and prickly bits. There’s a plant here in Guyana, locally called “hold me back” and it literally snags your clothes lol…who are these plants angry at? #casualBotany (Also, can you spot the doves in the third picture?)

New Year New Toad! Our new friend Adhaerobufo wokomungensis was first described as a new species two months ago and is named after the location where they were found on Mount Wokomung in Guyana! (photo by D.B. Means)

A brown toad covered in lots of tiny bumps! Some of the bumps form a thin, orange colored line down their side, and some of the nearby bumps on their back are also this orange color! The bumps on their legs are very spiky looking!
