Fascinating Article: Frogs Mate Under Full Moon

For those of you involved in our amphibian monitoring program and those just curious, I just learned of this really interesting article about a study done that shows that frogs, toads and newts tend to mate under a full moon.  When we talk about Big Night events, we’re generally looking for those rainy nights since that’s when amphibians can move through the forests most easily and without dehydrating. This article gives us another interesting factor to consider.
