    Be n obscenely busy at the labs, but it appears the egg run is over. Total of 90 eggs with an astonishing 96% viability. Tadpole mortality less than 2%.Noticed some conspecific nibbling. Strange that it was the smaller younger larvae attacking the older large ones. Caused by population density it appears. Student sorted and isolated larvae by size/age and it ended. Interesting survival tactic!Mind still blown that “poor” water chemistry is beneficial to these. Too clean and they die!Getting ready to extract and sequence DNA from the few larvae that didn’t make it. Have to custom design sequencer library...
    Watching FrogTV because it is better when someone else has to maintain the enclosure!
