Any folks out there teaching #herpetology with a lab in Fall 2020 or Spring 2021 #online , #hybrid or needing to prepare to do so?
I am currently planning on #HerpFall2020 being hybrid with outdoor labs for as long as we can in MN.

If enough #herpetology folks are in a similar boat and would want to bounce around ideas 💡 as a group, we could organize a virtual brainstorming meeting (or if this is happening already, let me know).

If interested, plz comment & share!
UPDATE: there is a good bit of interest in a discussion about #online#herpetology ! 👍🏽 👍🏽
Please DM your preferred email and I’ll get our brainstorming 🧠 ⛈ 🐸 organized.

🏙️#Sex biases in the individuals studied in the lab & field. Why is it more often males of a species? What data are we missing because of that bias? 🤔

Any recommendations for ways to collect data about color & pattern from images of #wildlife? We want to quantify things like %cover by a color & intensity.
Have enjoyed reading some of the work by Davis & Grayson on quantifying #color, hue, % coverage in #newts and other animals.
They used Fovea Pro, a Photoshop add in. The newer version (QIA-64) costs ~$800 😬
Am also considering the methods of Paterson & Blouin-Demers where they quantify continuous variation in throat color in #lizards using Adobe & ultimately analysis in #imageJ (but haven't had time to test it out yet)
