🐸New study used #spatial & #temporal modeling, standardized surveys, and citizen #science roadkill data for five #anuran species in Taiwan's Sanxia District - a biodiversity hotspot.

Rare Frog Thought To Be Extinct Rediscovered After A 130-Year-Long Search — A Biologist Explains Alsodes vittatus had disappeared from scientific records and proven elusive for more than a century before its recent rediscovery.

🐸 Rediscovery of a Chilean #anuran described in @zookeys.pensoft.net was determined by @forbes.com "as much a story of historical detective work as it is a #scientific breakthrough."

🧐 It also highlights the role of precise locality #data & historical context.

Soft tissue preservation in anurans from the Eocene Geiseltal biota. (a–b) Photographs of specimens showing extensive soft tissues, visible as a cream-colored friable material and/or a dark brown material. Boxes indicate regions shown in (c), (d) and (f). Insets show color-coded line drawings of the bones; Legend in (a) also applies to (b). (a) GMH CeIII-6698-1932 (Pelobatidae). The two parallel linear features crossing the torso are preparation artefacts. (b) GMH CeIII-6743-1932 (Pelobatidae). (c–f) Light micrographs showing details of the soft tissues. (c) Cream-colored, friable material overlain by thin brown material. (d) Dark grey-brown sediment (s) overlain by brown material and, in turn, the cream-colored material. Sediment and brown material are superficially similar in hand specimen but are readily distinguished using light microcopy and especially SEM. (e) GMH CeIII-4936a-1932 (Pelobatidae).
