    Bufology with Priya Nanjappa Ologies Podcast May 7, 2019 Oh hey, it’s your sister’s new boyfriend, who you’re quietly judging because of his cracked phone screen and bad shoes, Alie Ward, back with another episode of Ologies. If this is your very first episode, just a few things. We swear a whole bunch in this; we swear in a lot of ‘em, most of ‘em. If you wish we didn’t, don’t freak out, there are bleeped episodes of the podcast available at AlieWard.com. I’ll put a link in the show notes. Moving the danged heck on. Okay so frickin’ toads. What are they? And are they the best or are they the worst? Are toads the unsung underdogs? Are they warty friends yet to be made? Or are they bastards? Do they belong in a heap of canceled beasts who don’t deserve our admiration? You’ll find out. But first, business, in which I thank everyone on Patreon.com/Ologies for their questions, for their patronhood, for making the show feasible and possible and just a joy to make. Also, thank you to everyone sporting Ologies merch from OlogiesMerch.com and everyone who just gets it and knows that making sure that you’re subscribed and rating the show helps us get seen by pre-ologites, people who don’t know about the show yet. Also, thanks to the kind folks who are leaving reviews, because you know that I read them when I’m in a hotel, eating gas station food, and they make my day.

There are indications that the strong seasonal presence (late spring to early fall) of sand tigers in this area is a relatively new phenomenon as local fishermen claim that they had never seen this species in large numbers until recently. We utilized passive acoustic telemetry to monitor seasonal residency, habitat use, site fidelity, and fine scale movements of 35 sand tigers (79 – 120 cm fork length; age 0 - 1) in PKD Bay. Sharks were tracked within PKD Bay for periods of 5 – 88 days during September – October, 2008 and June – October, 2009. All movement data are currently being analyzed to quantify spatial and temporal habitat use, however, preliminary analyses suggest that sharks display a high degree of site fidelity to several areas of PKD Bay. Outside PKD Bay, we documented broader regional movements throughout New England. Collectively, these data demonstrate the that both PKD Bay and New England coastal waters serve as nursery and essential fish habitat (EFH) for neonatal and juvenile sand tiger sharks.

  • Herpetology 101 Aims to Teach Students the Basics of Reptile and Amphibian Biology While Instilling an Interest in Life and Animal Sciences
    Splash Herpetology Goals: Herpetology 101 aims to teach students the basics of reptile and amphibian biology while instilling an interest in life and animal sciences. Materials Requested: We’re requesting a frog life cycle replica, a coral snake replica, and a red eared slider replica. These will cost $29.97, but it is expected to be a little over $30 with tax and shipping included (we will pay the rest if we need to). We would like to use these replicas to teach about animals we don’t have—for example, we obviously do not have a venomous, deadly coral snake, so we would like to have a replica to show people what to look for. We would also like a replica aquatic turtle to demonstrate the differences between terrestrial and aquatic chelonians, and a series of frog/tadpole replicas to demonstrate the amphibian life cycle. Class outline is below. We’ll spend our time going over the below information and observing and handling live reptiles and amphibians! ● Introduction to us and WISE ○ Who we are on campus ○ What animals we work with (herps and inverts) ● Introduction to reptiles and amphibians ○ Similarities: ectotherms, no fur or feathers, oviparous ○ Differences: amphibians have an aquatic larval stage, skin versus scales, some ovoviviparous reptiles versus all oviparous amphibs, amphibs poisonous while reptiles generally venomous, reptile eggs are leathery ● Amphibian biology ○ Study of amphibians: “Batrachology” ○ 7,000 species, 90% of which are frogs ○ Ecological indicator species ■ Skin is a secondary/primary respiratory organ ■

  • ABDM Ballengee & Batrachology
    Contact: Julie Dukes Communications Manager (989) 631-5930 x 1602 [email protected] FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE January 16, 2014 Alden B. Dow Museum of Science and Art presents Nature’s Fading Chorus: The Works of Brandon Ballengée Batrachology: Amphibians in Art January 18 – April 13, 2014 MIDLAND, MI – To complement its “FROGS! A Chorus of Colors” exhibition (opening January 18), the Alden B. Dow Museum of Science and Art at Midland Center for the Arts presents two complementary exhibitions: “Nature’s Fading Chorus: The Works of Brandon Ballengée” and “Batrachology: Amphibians in Art.” On exhibition January 18 – April 13, they are included with Museum admission. An opening reception will be held January 18 from 7 to 9 p.m. Nature’s Fading Chorus: The Works of Brandon Ballengée: Featured are photographs that support the scientific research of Ballengée, an artist, biologist and environmental activist based in New York City. His work in the field is centered on the investigation of the occurrence of developmental deformities and population declines among amphibians. Using high-resolution scanner photography and chemical treatments to color the frog specimens, Ballengée creates individual portraits of these frogs, printed in large scale that document his ecological studies in an effort to increase the public’s environmental understanding. Ballengée explains, “For more than a decade, a central praxis of my primary biological research and subject of my artworks has been the declines and potential causes of deformities among amphibian populations.” As an artist and biologist, he has studied amphibians internationally, collaborating with numerous other researchers and hundreds of participating members of the public.

SHEPARD Norman, Oklahoma 2008 PHYLOGEOGRAPHY AND DIVERSIFICATION OF THE OUACHITA MOUNTAIN ENDEMIC SALAMANDERS OF THE PLETHODON OUACHITAE COMPLEX A DISSERTATION APPROVED FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF ZOOLOGY BY ________________________________ Dr. Janalee P. Caldwell, Chair ________________________________ Dr. Wayne J. Elisens ________________________________ Dr. Ingo Schlupp ________________________________ Dr. Laurie J. Vitt ________________________________ Dr. Gary A. Wellborn © Copyright by DONALD B. SHEPARD 2008 All Rights Reserved. Dedication I dedicate this dissertation to my grandfathers, Wayne M. Aceto and Donald B. Shepard, both whom died during my graduate career. They were two of the most intelligent, hard- working, and loving people I’ve met. I strive to be more like them. Acknowledgments First and foremost, I thank my collaborators and co-conspirators on this project, Frank Burbrink and Kelly Irwin. Without their help and enthusiasm in the field, in the lab, and with the plethora of analyses and software programs, this work would not have culminated into the high-quality product that I am proud to call my dissertation. For all the death marches and help tearing up the Ouachita National Forest flipping countless rocks and logs for salamanders, I am indebted to R. Bartlett, B. Brown, T. Colston, G. Costa, S. Filipek, D. Filipek, A. Fink, T. Gendusa, T. Guiher, R. Lewis, K. Roberts, S. Ruane, B. Timpe, and the Arkansas Herpetological Society.
