Valeria Aspinall was at the Tapir Valley Nature Preserve in northern Costa Rica the day an expert herpetologist declared that the tree frog living there is a distinct species, something that had not been recognized by science. @UGAEcology t.uga.edu/43QX52J

The tiny Tapir Valley tree frog might live only in a 20-acre wetland in northern Costa Rica. Conservationists like master's student Valeria Aspinall are working to understand the 2-centimeter amphibian in order to protect it. ecology.uga.edu/1xr6

Valeria Aspinall inspects a tiny Tapir Valley tree frog, a species that is considered critically endangered and may be limited to a single wetland in Costa Rica. Aspinall is working on a master’s degree at the Odum School of Ecology and developing basic knowledge about the frogs to inform a management plan to protect them. (Photo by David Vela Muñoz)

The Tapir Valley tree frog or Tlalocohyla celeste has only been spotted in a 20-acre wetland within the Tapir Valley Nature Preserve, which borders the Tenorio Volcano National Park in northern Costa Rica. The Tapir Valley tree frog shares the nature reserve with the native Baird’s tapir, jaguars, collared peccaries (pig-like animals also known as javelinas) and many exotic birds.

Do consumers prefer their water “purified,” “reused” or “recycled,” and how much are they willing to pay? New research from Ecology grad Megan Hopson puts a dollar value—for the first time—on consumers’ water preferences. ecology.uga.edu/fug3

🐜 CAES alum and @UGAEcology postdoctoral researcher Haolin Zeng has found that a genetic variant in ants can shift the social structure of an entire colony - even if only a small group of workers carry the variant. 🔗 bit.ly/4jMvs1B

Are common plants less susceptible to climate change? Not according to new research published in Science from UGA's Jill Anderson and Megan DeMarche, who modeled past, present and projected climatic tolerances for the wildflower Drummond’s rockcress. ecology.uga.edu/xxla

Mackenzi Hallmark, grad student and Butler Fellow, works with farmers to improve water quality. "Farmers are on the front line of climate change, and they're the foundation of our society," Hallmark said. "If we don't have farmers, we don't have food." ecology.uga.edu/by7t
