Been a long time coming but I'm so excited to see this out there! Ecstatic to be a part of this special issue "The evolutionary ecology of nests: a cross-taxon approach" Come learn how turtle moms are impacting nests & offspring via nest-site choice! 🐢doi.org/10.1098/rstb.2…

Meet California's very own salamander - the California tiger salamander! They enter a dormant state called estivation during dry months. It's similar to hibernation, but they find a humid, safe place to rest underground. Photo by John Cleckler/USFWS

❗️Hot off the presses! Check out our latest paper using reproductive tech to help protect & recover the critically endangered Baw Baw Frog! Awesome work with lead author Dr Aimee Silla & the teams from Zoos Victoria, Taronga Zoo & UOW Research #Frog mdpi.com/2076-2615/13/1…

Happy World Snake Day! 🐍🐍🐍

Happy World Snake Day! Here's a little baby Puerto Rican garden snake (Magliophis exiguus) we caught awhile back. Although all snakes are lovely, tiny little newborn snakes are something special 💚🐍

The Green Keelback (Rhabdophis plumbicolor) is a beautiful green snake endemic to the Indian subcontinent. When threatened, these gentle serpents may flatten the neck or the entire body on the ground, perhaps to look larger or to imitate its cobra neighbors. #WorldSnakeDay

🚨NEW PAPER🚨 Here we present the first detailed assessment of accumulation, impact and mechanism of PFAS pollution on a snake. A collaborative effort between CSIRO Curtin MLS and DWER WA! 1/n sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

This week we are celebrating the Global Women in Herpetology Project, which highlights female scientists worldwide. Their captivating book showcases 50 inspiring women, their fieldwork, challenges, and amphibians & reptiles. womeninherpetology.com amphibiaweb.org

This frog’s name hasn’t always stuck. Historically, it’s been a bit of a sticky situation, like their tongues or toe pads. After genetic analyses, it's now known as the Sierran treefrog or Sierran chorus frog (no longer the Pacific treefrog). 📷: Evan Grimes, CC-BY-NC #FrogFriday
