Highly acidic water usually breaks down a tadpole’s gill lining, but an Australian frog has evolved to suck in more protective calcium from the extreme ecosystem where it lives

Check out our new research on the physiology of the amazing scarlet-sided pobblebonk - one of the world's remarkable 'acid frogs'!.
Some science! Tadpoles of the scarlet-sided pobblebonk can survive in naturally acidic waters around the same pH as stomach acid - but how? Our research in @J_Exp_Biol shows that environmental calcium and adaptations to calcium transport in the gills may play a role.
