I remember having an epiphany about
frogs back in 1997. I was walking along the shore of the Mad River up
near Arcata. I'd put my foot down and half a dozen frogs that had been
invisible about the size of quarters would scurry away from the general
area and disappear again. I'd put my other foot down and the process
would repeat, mostly with completely different frogs that were just as
invisible. Then I realized that those frogs were perfectly evolved to
be invisible sunning themselves on those rocks. I'm thinking that the
reason climate change is threatening frogs is that their niches are
moving faster than they can change to adapt to the new niches.
