In order to become better stewards of the natural world, it's vital that we understand how important data from the amphibian hobby can be. As amphibian keepers, we can play an important role in conservation and resource management. By interpreting and understanding trade patterns, we can engage stakeholders and policy makers and make decisions based in science and facts. This week I am joined by Sam Sucre and Devin Edmonds and we discuss their new paper, "Tracking the hidden trade of non-native pet amphibians in the United States" In this episode we discuss 20 years of import data, trends in pricing, the nitty gritty of which species were imported and why, and how trade effects the countries of origin as well as hobbyists in the US. To read and share the paper discussed in this episode, visit: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0006320726000224 And as a supplemental please check out Devin's other paper at: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14888386.2025.2453459 Exo Terra is our sponsor this week.

We've all heard the tales of witches using "eye of newt" in their potions, but did you know that amphibians (frogs in particular) were actually a common ingredient in medieval curatives? Medieval medicine was in fact rife with recipes that used frogs (in part or whole) as cures, charms, and treatments for a long list of ailments. And, in addition to their medical usage, frogs were also used as characters in medieval fables that depicted them as everything from heroes to villains To help us understand frogs in the medieval world, week I am honored to be joined by medievalist and librarian, Greti Dinkova-Bruun. In this episode, we discuss her recent article, The Medieval Frog in Medical Recipes and Fable Narratives. We talk about historical context, and many of the specifics behind the usage of frogs in both medicine and literature Greti Dinkova-Bruun's article The Medieval Frog in Medical Recipes and Fable Narratives, is published in the latest issue of Mediaeval Studies , To read the article, visit: https://www.academia.edu/130177325/_The_Medieval_Frog_in_Medical_Recipes_and_Fable_Narratives_Mediaeval_Studies_85_2023_139_162 https://pims.ca/news-item/medieval-frog/ Broaden your knowledge of herpetology online or in person at the Amphibian Foundation.

Amphibian conservation, education, and appreciation, are the three ingredients that bind the amphibian community together. And, for almost a decade now, The Amphibian Foundation has dedicated its time and resources to provide both a brick and mortar facility, as well as an online presence, that allows the amphibian community to learn, share, and grow.... And now is the time for the community to give something back. The AF's current facility is set to be demolished within a year. And as such, AF staff have been scrambling to find a new location, and navigate the logistics of a complicated, and costly move. This week I am joined by Mark Mandica, and we have a frank discussion about the future of the Amphibian Foundation, the new location, the challenges that go with moving over a thousand animals (many of which are endangered), the help that’s needed from the community, and some positive takeaways about what the upcoming year will bring.

One of the most enigmatic extinction events in history took place only a few decades ago in a tiny section of pristine habitat near Monte Verde Costa Rica. Shorty after its discovery, the Golden Toad (Incilius periglenes) suddenly disappeared without a trace. Leaving many to wonder what happened and why. This week I am joined by Kyle and Trevor Ritland. Enamored by the mysterious and sudden disappearance of the Golden toads, Kyle and Trevor made it their mission to investigate what the possible causes were. In their book, The Golden Toad- An Ecological Mystery and the Search for a Lost Species, Kyle and Trevor tell a riveting tale that explores the story arch behind the extinction, introduces us to the players involved, and hints as to whether or not some golden toads may still remain.

Social Media has become an important facet of our ever evolving society. We find news, opinions, and information at an ever increasing pace. But how do social media posts affect our perception of extinct animals? And, are posts about extinct amphibians unique in their retention? Do posts about frogs illicit a different response than mammals? (You may be surprised!) In this episode I am joined by Susan Canavan, and we discuss her research into how social media posts affect our awareness of extinction. We discuss how social media users acted after reading a post about different extinct animals, and what role amphibians played in long term interest.
