Hello Burtons Legless Lizard 👀 Yes, he is a lizard with no legs that only eats other lizards! 🦎

Two BIG announcements: 1) This spring, I began a tenure-track faculty position in the Dept of Biology University of Dayton! 2) I am recruiting a fully-funded MSc or PhD student for fall 2023 to work on salamander color polymorphism and/or global drivers of trait change in amphibians!

Happy first day of February! With #ValentinesDay right around the corner, be sure to send that special someone a froggy valentine! Ribbet! 📷: Northern Green Frog (Lithobates clamitans) by Nate Engbrecht #frogs #frog #amphibians #herps #herpetology #mwparc #parc #conservation

Lots of turtle activity on Minnesota roads this week. Stay wildlife aware and report sightings. Live and roadkill turtle observations are needed to identify road mortality hotspots. Report to HerpMapper. #Roads #Turtles #mnleg #conservation #CommunityScience

Erosion control blankets provide cover and support for new plants at our project sites 🌱 In 2020, we switched from plastic to natural fibers (like jute), preventing the use of 64K pounds of single-use plastic in 2021! This also helps protect wildlife from getting entangled 🐸
