@… There's a species of frog in Australia called the Banjo Frog - also known as the Pobblebonk Frog - and their call sounds a bit like twanging a thick rubber band.

Lipschitz-type estimate for the frog model with Bernoulli initial configuration
We consider the frog model with Bernoulli initial configuration, which is an interacting particle system on the multidimensional lattice consisting of two states of particles: active and sleeping. Active particles perform independent simple random walks. On the other hand, although sleeping particles do not move at first, they become active and can move around when touched by active particles. Initially, only the origin has one active particle, and the other sites have sleeping particles accord…

Only first spotted in 2011, the flea toad (Brachycephalus pulex) is now confirmed as the smallest frog AND overall vertebrate species in the world (found so far). The males are around 7.1 millimeters and females are 8.15 millimeters 🤯🐸

A small brown green flea toad on a leaf. Only 7-8mm long, the smallest frogs and vertebrates in the world (found so far).

This Insanely Tiny Frog Could Be as Small as Vertebrates Get
Smaller than a pea, flea toads are so teensy they approach the limits of how small a backboned animal can be.

Happy Leap Day!
"Grimaldi's Leap-Frog in the Comic Pantomine of the Golden Fish"
1812 engraving of part of the act of celebrated English clown Joseph Grimaldi. "Drawn & Etched by W. Heath".
#LeapDay #LeapYear

1812 color engraving in two scenes. Both show man in clown outfit with baggy white pants, red coat, white facepaint, along with a large frog - presumably actually a person in a frog costume. In the first scene, the Clown holds out a bowl of water towards the sitting Frog. In the second scene, the Clown bends over, as the Frog propels itself over the Clown by jumping with hands on the Clown's shoulders, "leap frogging".

Quadruped-Frog: Rapid Online Optimization of Continuous Quadruped Jumping
Legged robots are becoming increasingly agile in exhibiting dynamic behaviors such as running and jumping. Usually, such behaviors are either optimized and engineered offline (i.e. the behavior is designed for before it is needed), either through model-based trajectory optimization, or through deep learning-based methods involving millions of timesteps of simulation interactions. Notably, such offline-designed locomotion controllers cannot perfectly model the true dynamics of the system, such a…

Smallest insect: Dicopomorpha echmepterygis, a parasitic wasp, US
The world’s smallest insect is so tiny that it is smaller than some single-celled organisms.
As little as 0.139mm long, the US parasitic wasp spends most of its life inside its host, the bark louse.
“A species of ‘fairyfly’, these are tiny wasps which develop as parasitoids, with eggs laid inside the eggs of bark lice, which are not too large themselves,” says Dr Gavin Broad, the principal curator of entomolog…

What pop culture icons did you imprint on as a child?
I know I developed the worldview of Kermit the Frog, the ethics of Jean-Luc Picard, and the sense of humor of Groucho Marx.
Which probably explains a lot of things about me.

Walking Your Frog Fast in 4 LoC
Given two polygonal curves, there are many ways to define a notion of similarity between them. One popular measure is the Fréchet distance which has many desirable properties but is notoriously expensive to calculate, especially for non-trivial metrics. In 1994, Eiter and Mannila introduced the discrete Fréchet distance which is much easier to implement and approximates the continuous Fréchet distance with a quadratic runtime overhead. However, this algorithm relies on recursions and is not …

Frog-Snake prey-predation Relationship Optimization (FSRO) : A novel nature-inspired metaheuristic algorithm for feature selection
Swarm intelligence algorithms have traditionally been designed for continuous optimization problems, and these algorithms have been modified and extended for application to discrete optimization problems. Notably, their application in feature selection for machine learning has demonstrated improvements in model accuracy, reduction of unnecessary data, and decreased computational time. This study proposes the Frog-Snake prey-predation Relationship Optimization (FSRO) algorithm, inspired by the p…

The frog chorus is in session. Amazing to hear hundreds/thousands of frogs suddenly active after winter. There is some type of interesting synchronization in their singing. They can suddenly stop, as if on queue, then start again on queue.
Not sure how this recording will work. Turn up sound to maximum.
