#SciArt Scientific illustrator Alissa Eckert, after helping create this image & after 17-yrs. of service to the CDC here in the USA was fired. This is not normal; this is corruption. When we take back our country hopefully she'll get her job back. We're protesting everyday now, won't be much longer.

#Frogfriday 🐍The Emerald poison frog Ameerega smaragdina was officially synonymized w/ A. petersi see French et al., 2019. I noted this being known prior to French et al. in the aposematic poison frog book we published in 2016. Enjoy a shiny moist-looking poison frog from Perú! © 2016 Ted R. Kahn.

#frogfriday ! Phyllobates sp. Copyright in pic. There are ~7 species in Colombia, one in Mesoamerica, some undescribed or not in synonymy in Colombia (my favorite country along with Venezuela . I am entirely unsure what this is. It is likely one of the most toxic vertebrates on Earth. Enjoy!
