🔥HOT OFF THE PRESS🔥
My colleagues and I have revised the Scaphiophryne calcarata species complex, wading into the 'chamber of horrors' that was left behind by horrendously preserved type specimens and vague descriptions of frogs with complex biogeography

George Albert Boulenger had received a new collection from Reverend Richard Baron, including a large bluish treefrog with a white lip. He dubbed it Rhacophorus albilabris. The blue he recognised was not representative of the frog in life.

#MadagascarFrogs

Time for our #FrogOfTheDay! Two years after the last work about frogs from Madagascar, Wilhelm Peters (📸Wikimedia) described #14 Boophis madagascariensis (Peters, 1874) based on a specimen collected by a Mr Crossley in Madagascar—with this beautiful illustration #MadagascarFrogs

You can follow along on my poster of the frogs of Madagascar, and get other relevant releases throughout the year (more about this on Saturday) https://t.co/CQPoSMPoWz

@FishGuyKai

I wrote a long thread rant about @zootaxa losing its @clarivate impact factor, but twitter ate it. So instead, please read @FishGuyKai's rant, and join us in telling @clarivate that this decision undermines the already suffering field of #taxonomy and is unacceptable.

There are some pretty amazingly-coloured cichlids out there. This fish, Pundamilia nyererei, from Lake Victoria, is often used as a model species for sexual selection, sensory drive, and speciation.

We found one in the stomach of Rhombophryne vaventy when we micro-CT scanned the holotype :) https://t.co/ZWwCQ0R1RB

Do you like #frogs? Then you'll love my poster with about 1/5th of the frog species of Madagascar! Looks great in your office or on the wall of your museum (here shown in the Zoologische Staatssammlung München)!

to give an idea of how much work there still is to do, I have greyed out the species that are already described. Some of the ones left we are not 100% sure are new or not, and I also discovered that two species are accidentally duplicated, so sorry about that.
