Daily Doodle 228 – November 30, 2018

I wanna see myself drawing all the time, but as soon as I get on my PC, I instantly stay and do something else by impulse, it keeps my stress there

.. And I didn’t actually slam my desk, but I’m still frustrated

 Today I woke up pretty late and got on my PC to doodle as I wanted to get on with the day. I listened to some Halo music and worked on the doodle until it was done

I then finally left my room and made myself a yummy cheesy breakfast of scrambled eggs. I then got back on my PC to start the day.. By not doing much.. It feels weird that I bash myself for wasting time during the day but at the moment I just wanna relax and destress the stress I can’t bring myself to tackle

Anyways, I caught up with all the videos I had piled up from yesterday, browsed a bit of art, browsed memes. Then noticed more videos got uploaded, guess Friday is the day for that

Later in the afternoon, I finally started finishing the inking phase on the commission I’ve been meaning to hurry and finish. Got some nice new tunes and got to preparing the colors

I then watched another cruise video, getting that need to go on one again. I later launched some games to take some screenshots a friend asked for. Once done I just spent the night chatting with Pix

Paid my phone to not have to worry about that and then made myself a quesadilla. I then continued working on the commission a bit, browsed some references

Pix went to sleep early and I just then chatted, telling some people that aren’t from the island how it’s annoying for people who call me at night cuz they mention the coqui frogs here being loud. I guess my mic amplifies it but everyone on the island isn’t bothered by those little frog noises, in fact, I have trouble sleeping if I don’t hear them!

Anyways, I ate a bunch of cookies and wrote the doodle. It was a very uneventful day, wow.. Though a few fun chat stuff happened at night, but nothing too special

my mom holds her accent like a shotgun, with two good hands. her tongue, all brass knuckle slipping in between her lips her hips, all laughter and wind clap. she speaks a sanchocho of spanish and english, pushing up and against one another, in rapid fire there is no telling my mama to be "quiet," she don't know "quiet." her voice is one size better fit all and you best not tell her to hush, she waited too many years for her voice to arrive to be told it needed house keeping. English sits in her mouth remixed so "strawberry" becomes "eh-strawbeddy" and "cookie" becomes "eh-cookie" and kitchen, key chain, and chicken all sound the same. my mama doesn't say "yes" she says, "ah ha" and suddenly the sky in her mouth becomes Hector Lavoe song. her tongue can't lay itself down flat enough for the English language, it got too much hip too much bone too much conga too much cuatro to two step got too many piano keys in between her teeth, it got too much clave too much hand clap got too much salsa to sit still it be an anxious child wanting to make Play-Doh out of concrete English be too neat for her kind of wonderful. her words spill in conversation between women whose hands are all they got sometimes our hands are all we got and accents remind us that we are still bomba, still plena say "wepa" and a stranger becomes your hermano, say "dale" and a crowd becomes a family reunion. my mama's tongue is a telegram from her mother decorated with the coqui's of el campo so even though her lips can barely stretch themselves around english, her accent is a stubborn compass always pointing her towards home.

Coquí frog has hung around Caribbean for 29M years

The bright chirp of the coquí frog, the national symbol of Puerto Rico, has likely resounded through Caribbean forests for at least 29 million years, researchers report.

In a new study in Biology Letters, researchers describe a fragmented arm bone from a frog in the genus Eleutherodactylus, also known as rain frogs or coquís. They discovered the fossil, the oldest record of frogs in the Caribbean, on the island where coquís are most beloved.

“It’s a national treasure,” says lead author David Blackburn, curator of herpetology at the Florida Museum of Natural History.

“Not only is this the oldest evidence for a frog in the Caribbean, it also happens to be one of the frogs that are the pride of Puerto Rico and related to the large family Eleutherodactylidae, which includes Florida’s invasive greenhouse frogs.”

Coqui: Tiny bone, oldest frog

Jorge Velez-Juarbe, associate curator of marine mammals at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County, found the fossil on a river outcrop in the municipality of San Sebastian in northwestern Puerto Rico.

Velez-Juarbe and his collaborators’ previous collecting efforts at the site uncovered fossil seeds, sea cows, side-necked turtles, and the oldest remains of gharials and rodents in the Caribbean, dating to the early Oligocene Epoch, about 29 million years ago.

Still, “there have been many visits from which I have come out empty-handed over the last 14 years,” he says. “I’ve always kept my expectations not too high for this series of outcrops.”

On this trip in 2012, he combed the deposits for half a day without much luck when a small bone, partially exposed in the sediment, caught his eye. He examined it with his hand lens.

“At the moment, I couldn’t wrap my mind as to what it was,” Velez-Juarbe says. “Then once I got back home, cleaned around it with a needle to see it better and checked some references, I knew I had found the oldest frog in the Caribbean.”

The ancient coquí displaces an amber frog fossil discovered in the Dominican Republic in 1987 for the title of oldest Caribbean frog.

Researchers originally estimated the amber fossil was 40 million years old, but now scientists date Dominican amber to about 20 million to 15 million years ago, Blackburn says.

Based on genetic data and family trees, scientists had hypothesized rain frogs lived in the Caribbean during the Oligocene, but lacked any fossil evidence. The small, lightweight bones of frogs often do not preserve well, especially when combined with the hot, humid climate of the tropics.

Matching a single bone fragment to a genus or species “is not always an easy process,” Velez-Juarbe says. It can also depend on finding the right expert. His quest for help identifying the fossil turned up empty until a 2017 visit to the Florida Museum where he was once a postdoctoral researcher.

“I got to talk with Dave about projects, and the rest is now history,” he says.

Raft arrival

Possibly first arriving in the Caribbean by rafting from South America, frogs in the genus Eleutherodactylus, which encompasses some 200 species, dominate the region today.

“This is the most diverse group by two orders of magnitude in the Caribbean,” Blackburn says. “They’ve diversified into all these different specialists with various forms and body sizes. Several invasive species also happen to be from this genus. All this raises the question of how they got to be this way.”

One partial arm bone may not tell the whole story of coquí evolution—but it’s a start.

“I am thrilled that, little by little, we are learning about the wildlife that lived in Puerto Rico 29-27 million years ago,” Velez-Juarbe says. “Finds like this help us unravel the origins of the animals we see in the Caribbean today.”
