Re: Worlds Smallest Frog
So cool. FHF's Eric Rittemeyer is part of the frog discovery team, too, no?

Re: Worlds Smallest Frog
I have no idea if that is true. All I know is what is in the article.

Re: Worlds Smallest Frog
You're right Tamara. Eric (ritt) was involved.

Thanks

Re: Worlds Smallest Frog
He's in Panama with limited internet access until next week, but if this thread gets buried before he sees it I'll make sure to let him know.
Re: Worlds Smallest Frog
I can help. Not only was Eric involved, but this was from an expedition he and a couple others organised and secured funding/collaboration/permits for while undergraduates. Oh, and it was not even his senior thesis project. That was on phylogeography of Texas Alligator lizards. He's a superstar and deserves the attention. Hope he's enjoying it
Re: Worlds Smallest Frog
My favorite quote from the cnn article on this subject was, "Researchers believe these creatures eat even smaller animals". I sure hope the person who figured that out got a medal! That aside, this is a very cool find.
