Food Calls
Hungry bats: Listen up
February 11, 2025
Spix’s disc-winged bats shrieked when they were first shown mealworms, a new food for them. Were they alarmed, or were they communicating their excitement to their fellow bats?

March 18, 2025
A baby hummingbird hatches. But it has fluffy feathers on its back, looking just like a dangerous caterpillar. Could this be something unusual among hummingbirds?
Living Small in a Big City
Túngara frog tadpoles that grew up in the city developed faster but ended up being smaller.
June 30, 2025
Have you ever wondered how city life affects animals like frogs? A new study reveals that urban Túngara frog tadpoles develop faster —but end up being smaller — than tadpoles from forests, probably resulting in smaller adults. This might be an adaptation to warmer urban puddles with fewer predators or to constantly changing environmental conditions in the city.

Learning from other species
Predators learn to identify prey from other predators
March 21, 2018
It is much faster to learn to recognize a new prey item from a neighboring species, than to learn by trial and error.
What stops mass extinctions?
Lessons From Amphibian Die-off in Panama
March 30, 2018
What slows or stops a disease epidemic if the pathogen is still present? It appears that wild frogs are becoming increasingly resistant to the chytrid fungal disease that has decimated amphibian populations around the world.
