Japp, Wouter kommer

Nu finns det uppdateringar om bordsbokning och att vi behöver ett par frivilliga som har koll på kaffe och dyl.

Har hållit utkik i kalendariumet efter groddagen, men såg denna tråden nu. Tur det, jag var på väg att fråga i en ny tråd. Ett tips är att uppdatera kalendariumet ifall fler letar lika som jag gjorde.

Kalendariet uppdaterat. Tack för påminnelsen

Vi har fått lite info om fördrag till groddagen. Mycket intressant tycker jag:

Poison dart frogs in Amazonian Ecuador
Jan Verkade

The poison dart frogs of of Amazonian Ecuador will be subject of the lecture of Jan Verkade from Holland.
His house in the Amazonian basin did function as a ‘base camp’ for most of the trips of Jan and his wife José. Ameerega bilinguis, Ameerega parvula and Allobates zaparo were for years subject of their research. These frogs do have (mainly) a red dorsum. Interesting mimicri relationships in coloration and markings were found. Some other poison dart frogs share the habitats of Ameerega and Allobates, such as Hyloxalus, Colosothetus, Ranitomeya and Excidobates. Ranitomeya variabilis has some subtle color variations. Jan found them all and made some beautiful photographs and sound recordings of their vocal calls.

Captive bred/farm raised frogs of Fundacíon Jambatu and Wikiri is a second subject of his lecture. The primairy goals of both Jambatu and Wikiri are conservation of nature in general and research and conservation on amphibians in particular.
Financing research on frogs and conservation of frogs in nature cost a lot of money. The money needed for that is partly raised through breeding frogs for hobbyists. Only frogs that are not suffering from extinction may be bred for this purpose. Oophaga sylvatica, various Epipedobates, glass frogs, Hypsiboas picturatus and Atelopus are bred in substantial quantities and made available to the market.

Så häftigt! Fantastiskt att vi får höra mer berättelser av Jan!

Roligt!

Hmm. Hur tar man sig till Gränna lättast om man saknar bil? Bor i Uppsala men der verkar lite klurigt att ta sig till Groddagen denna gång.
