Bad Newts: Amphibians are in Serious Trouble

My colleagues and I have just had a paper published in Nature, based on our efforts to assess almost all amphibian species for the IUCN Red Lists. The major takeaway messages:

It is a bad time to be an amphibian

Two fifths of all amphibians are threatened with extinction.

Salamanders are the most threatened group; three fifths of all salamanders are threatened with extinction!

Climate change is a major driver of amphibian declines globally

Habitat loss, especially due to agriculture, is a problem for the vast majority of amphibians

Chytrid pandemics have caused and continue to cause catastrophic declines of both salamanders and frogs

Protected areas and careful management are working as strategies! They are actively improving the outlook of some species

As many as 222 amphibian species may have gone extinct in recent times; of those, 185 are suspected extinct but not yet confirmed.

Our paper is Open Access, you can read it here!

Anyone else think Hiccup's back would get kind of fucked up from dragon riding? Like the way he hunches over on toothless with how the stirrups are positioned, he's bent so fucking weird. And speaking from experience, sitting weird and leaning forward until your kneels parallel with your shoulds is fine for a bit but if you stay like that for more than 30 minutes you'll regret it.

Imagine after like hours of flying, or even after working on an invention, sitting leaning over his desk for hours with that artist shrimp posture, (also. The transmasc slouch...he was doomed from the start), he's got bad posture. Hes horribly hunching over while standing, and Astrid gives him shit for it like: "you keep this up you're gonna match with the twins" and he immediately (fearfully) stands/sits up straight like one would at a dinner with their grandmother
