It's frog time again

07 August 2015

Winter is a busy time in the lab. The frogs start calling and it means that we all have to get out into the field. 

For me, nothing is nicer than spending a day than getting up into the mountain and making a recording of moss frogs. 

Here you see a microphone array, errected to conduct spatially explicit capture recapture. See Stevenson et al  for a recent publication on this method.

16 July 2015

Congratulations to the Lab team who won the ZSSA student pub quiz to the tune of a R500 drinking voucher at the Rat & Parrot, Grahamstown. It was a win with a narrow margin, mostly as André insisted that Rugby was a game originating in Norway! The clue's in the name, André.
