Folge vom 15.04.2022Episode 84. A History of Dart Frog Locales in the Hobby with Devin EdmondsAs the dart frog hobby evolved over the past 50 years, many different species and locales came and went along with it. However, for the longest time, we haven't had a clear picture of which species made it into the hobby, when they made it into the hobby and how they made it into the hobby. That is - up until now. Tonight I am joined once again by Devin Edmonds and we discuss his new paper published in the Herpetological Review titled, "Poison Frogs Traded and Maintained by US Private Breeders." Devin made a painstaking effort to track the origins of hundreds of different dart frog species and locales, and in this week's episode we discuss his findings. If you've ever wanted to hear an origin story of species in the hobby - this is the episode you've been waiting for!For more information visit: https://biodiversitygroup.org/staff-member/devin-edmonds/To read the paper visit: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/357577942_Poison_frogs_traded_and_maintained_by_US_private_breedersFor Amphibicast Gear visit: https://the-amphibicast-store.creator-spring.com/For discounts on In Situ Ecosystem vivariums visit: https://insituecosystems.com/?ref=amphibicastTo support the show by becoming a Patron visit: https://www.patreon.com/Amphibicast

Folge vom 08.04.2022Episode 83. The Problem with Toads and Psychedelics with Robert VillaTonight I am joined by Naturalist Robert Villa. In recent decades a phenomenon has developed around the Sonoran Desert Toad (AKA the Colorado River Toad) and the recreational use of its toxins for psychedelic purposes. There is however, a great deal of misinformation out there regarding the topic. So to set the record straight I am joined by Robert Villa. Robert dispels many of the common myths associated with the species and we discuss how exploitation for its unique toxins is affecting its survival. We also discuss how the psychedelic phenomenon started (Hint- it's not how many of you think it started).Robert is a naturalist and the president of the Tuscan Herp Society. He also has an intimate understanding of the Sonoran Desert Toad and has been a source of factual information for many publications including the New York Times.For more information visit: https://tucsonherpsociety.org/If you'd like to support the show, consider becoming a Patron and visit: https://www.patreon.com/AmphibicastFor listener discounts on In Situ Ecosystem vivariums click: https://insituecosystems.com/?ref=amphibicastFor Amphibicast Gear visit: https://the-amphibicast-store.creator-spring.com/
