I finally published our new paper embracing the heterogeneity of whole genomes for understanding evolutionary processes! And it's on #snakes! Always a plus! Huge thank you to my collaborators! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

🛡️🐍 Did you know that some snakes have hidden armour? 👩🏻‍🔬 Dr. Frýdlová from Faculty of Science of Charles University and her colleagues have discovered #osteoderms in three additional snake species, including the very first record of osteoderms in shield-tailed snakes (Uropeltidae). 🤩 Link below ⬇️

#SriLanka hosts cool limb-reduced skinks Nessia & Chalcidoseps. A broader study on the biogeography of scincines led by Aniruddha Datta Roy traces their closest relatives to Seychelleian scincine lineages. Read more here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.111…

I'm thrilled to share the first publication of my PhD! In this work, we attempted to understand the biogeographic origins, dispersal routes, and major diversification centres of the speciose and widespread house geckos (Genus: Hemidactylus) Cont 1/4

Dasia haliana (Nevill, 1887) Haly's Tree Skink What a stunning species. I find the head movements of this species are exactly the same as other arboreal lizards like Cnemaspis podihuna. very interesting.
