Biologist Maria Schreider on the annual FrogID initiative and how recording frog calls can help in saving them from extinction. - Биолог Мария Шрейдер о ежегодной инициативе Австралийского музея FrogID и о том, как австралийцы записывают кваканье лягушек на телефон и тем самым помогают их спасти от вымирания.
On Saturday 5 November 2022, journalist and author, Ali Gripper, sat down with Dr Jodi Rowley for an intimate Q&A on Jodi's life's work and to learn five things we can do to make our gardens frog-friendly. Frogs play a crucial role in the balance of our ecosystems. Australia has over 240 known species of frog, almost all of which are found nowhere else in the world. With climate change robbing them of habitat, clean water and food sources, frogs are fighting for their lives. Since 2017, Curator of the Australian Museum Herpetology Collection, Dr Jodi Rowley, has been championing the protection of frogs through citizen science app FrogID. Through people power, over 700,000 frogs have been documented, giving Jodi and her team of scientists an unprecedented picture of the lives and deaths of Aussie frogs.
Modern science's rapidly evolving techniques are pretty impressive, but the big secrets of the animal world continue to keep our scientists guessing. In this episode, ancient creatures of Central Australia are unearthed by Australian Museum palaeontolgist Patrick Smith, while back in the present, frog expert Jodi Rowley hunts for answers to explain the mass frog die-off that plagues the eastern states. The combined power of the Australian Museum collections and citizen science may just offer some answers. A First Nations' take on the significance of the Eel offers a new understanding of this elusive creature and clues as to how we might reboot our connection to the natural world.Guests: Dr Patrick Smith, Dr Jodi Rowley and Sara Judge Host: Alice GageFind images, extra stories and transcript at australian.museum/explore-----Sara Kianga Judge is a Neurodiverse Walbunja-Yuin woman born and grown up on Burramattagal Country.

Hello everyone and welcome to Episode Thirty Three! The polar vortex continues here in east-central Illinois, the mercury is pooled at the bottom of the thermometer, so put on a sweatshirt, make yourself a cuppa, and pull up a piping hot episode about frogs! Our guest this week is Jodi Rowley, a conservation biologist with the Australian Museum in Sydney. Jodi has been involved with frog field research in Australia, Cambodia, Vietnam, and other places, and she is also involved with a very cool community science project called FrogID. On her Facebook page, Jodi describes herself as "a conservation biologist obsessed with amphibians", which is something a lot of us can identify with. I've enjoyed her enthusiasm and passion for frogs on social media and I was not surprised to have those signals come in loud and clear during our conversation. Along with her field research, we discussed the Australian FrogID project, which has been tremendously successful in getting ordinary folks involved with recording calling amphibians, and these days, species conservation absolutely requires the attention and involvement of everyone. Thanks for coming on the show, Jodi! I had a great time talking about frogs (I guess that's no surprise to anyone). And folks, you can follow the FrogID project on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram as well. PARC: As I mentioned in the show, here are some links for Partners in Amphibian and Reptile Conservation: the main PARC page, and a 'find PARC' page with a map that identifies which PARC chapters cover which regions. Check it out! PATREONERS! Thank you so much to all of my Patreoners for supporting the show! I really appreciate it. To others in the listening audience, if you like the show, please consider supporting it via the So Much Pingle Patreon page. And thanks in advance! And as always, please keep the comments and suggestions coming, and please take time to rate the show on your podcast platform! The show email is somuchpingle@gmail.com, and there’s also a So Much Pingle group on Facebook, for discussion, comments, feedback, suggestions, herp confessions, frog calls you can learn from home, tips for herping better, etc. Cheers!

Nov 9-18 2018 was FrogID week, so we headed out #frogging in Main Range on the border of Queensland and New South Wales. Specifically, we were searching for the Red and Yellow Mountain Frog, Philora kundagungan. This amazing little frog is endangered and restricted to this isolated, sub-tropical mountain region, so is quite the challenge to locate. In this amazing environment, we were sure to find plenty of other cool creatures along the way.

Recorded another bulletin yesterday evening and it was vintage rols premium delirium golden hour - come for the news, stay for the crazy. Stories I covered: 1. Recycling sitch is becoming especially scary with some quantifiable figures emerging: ie our recyclable waste contamination rate averages out around 20% (does that mean 1 in 5 of us is just that lazy?) and for China to start accepting it again it’s gotta be at 0.5%. WHAT YOU PUT IT IN THE BIN MATTERS! 2. Canberrans are currently winning this very game with food waste bins proposed to offset both landfill volumes and fuel emissions. Yes we CAN,BRA. 3. Researchers are asking nerdy citizens in WA to record frog sounds to an app called FrogID to help flesh out data on these slippery and elusive beings - and guess what, it’s working. How cool are nerds! 4. If you don’t know who Boyan Slat is, you should, as he is about to launch a genuine attempt to launder the worlds messiest diaper aka the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. Critics abound, but f them! We - or rather, he - gotta start somewhere. 5. If acceptable edible yield of a fish is around 40%, what happens to the other 60% of its biomass? Well, now you can buy it in Paddington, and it’s proper delicious and proper good for you. Plus 2 bonus stories if you make it that far down the road with me. Climatechange news: worth my sanity, worth your hungover attention! Thanks again ABC environment portal www.everydaygreen.org www.abc.net.au/news/environment/
FrogID citizen scientists are putting frogs on the map.
We had an awesome time with Dr Rowley talking frog conservation, the new FrogID citizen-science project, and much more, over some coffee and cupcakes. After checking out Jodi's talk at the Caboolture Region Environmental Education Centre, we head out to have a play around with the #FrogID app around the CREEC reserve and creek system. We're also joined by Scott Eipper from Nature4You and some keen local froggers. What an amazing night with some interesting people! Thanks again to CREEC and FrogID for letting us tag along! Cheers :)
We're back in Karawatha Forest! After some wet and wild weather, we headed out to Karawatha again, hoping the local frogs would be out and about. I'm joined by Callum McKercher, UQ frog biology student and Lisa Owen from Scales Wildlife Services for a nighttime wander and chat. We discuss frog behaviour, conservation, some new great ape discoveries, and much more. Our froggy walk also gave us a chance to try out FrogID, the fantastic new citizen-science app from the Australian Museum! This free smartphone app lets you identify your local area's frog calls by simply recording their froggy songs. Furthermore you can submit frog calls to the FrogID database, adding to the first nation wide frog count to help understand the state of our native frogs. We had an awesome time using this tool to ID some cool native species, even if we couldn't see them all To get involved in this fun, free, ground-breaking citizen science project, check out FrogID at the links below.
