Mylena Masache and the #frog #species she discovered *while an undergrad* at Pontificia Universidad Católica del #Ecuador in #Quito
She and her colleagues named the frog after Neisi Dajomes, the first Ecuadorian woman to win Olympic gold at the Tokyo 2020 Games: Nymphargus dajomesae
The species is a glass frog (you can see through it from underneath) and is a sign of a much larger #amphibian hotspot in the Cordillera del Cóndor
Mylena is now in grad school

A secret from a hidden world: A new glassfrog of the genus Nymphargus (Anura: Centrolenidae) from Cordillera del Cóndor, Ecuador
The genus Nymphargus is the most speciose of the family Centrolenidae with 44 species. In this study, we describe a new species of Nymphargus and present an updated phylogeny.journals.plos.org
We decided to transplant a dahlia into a clay pot.
When we picked the plant up it erupted with jumping frogs. It was a whole convention I think.
This one hung out while I fetched my phone.
I think they all settled in the damp weeds around the roses. They blend in like they were never there.
