Do you like caving ? In early September, Anthony Herrel and I went to Moulis (Ariège, France) to visit the CNRS laboratory cave part of the SETE, hosted by our collaborator Olivier Guillaume, without whom this would not have been…
Filming salamanders at the Amphibian Foundation
Why salamanders are so special? Were you aware that Salamanders present the most important diversity of developmental strategies among vertebrates? Most salamander species have what we call a biphasic life cycle, meaning that, like the frogs, eggs are laid in…
Catching and filming salamanders at the Amphibian Foundation in Atlanta, Georgia, USA
We traveled to the Amphibian Foundation in Atlanta, Georgia in the United States to catch and film salamanders! In this gallery we share photos of our fieldwork and how we set up the camera and lights to film feeding behaviours.
Filming feeding behaviors in live salamanders
To document the diversity of feeding strategies among salamanders we're using high-speed video to capture feeding behaviors from live salamanders. In this photo gallery we share photos of how we care for our live salamanders and prepare them to take center stage for filming.
