Anyone who's published on an Australian reptile. Check Greer's phenomenal Encyclopedia preprint, check your study species and if you have information to add email the papers to him. Lets make this as comprehensive as possible! researchgate.net/publication…

In today’s herping highlight I bring you an iddy biddy banded eastern brown snake. This individual is likely to be 8-10 months old and will eventually loose its pattern as it matures #wildoz

This study goes way back to our grad school days working on Red-backed Fairywrens in Australia. Males come in two flavors: ornamented red/black and female-like brown. Females love the ornamented males but we never really knew why... UNTIL NOW! 2/8

As I’m about to take off to USA and attend the #SETAC conference I thought it fitting to finally read this classic, the book that kicked ecotoxicology into action! Catch ya soon Texas 🫡

Another productive meeting the other day with the Oceania regional chapter of the IUCN Snake Specialist Group! Including bringing expert minds together to try and solve some bewildering mysteries uncovered in recent research w/in the group relating to snake conservation in Oz.

A fun project finally published! We have genomic work coming out for some #snakes, but our survey work served as great data on its own for a fun paper on microhabitat and species distributions! royalsocietypublishing.org/d…

Meet Pugh’s Mountain Frog (Philoria pughi) 🐸 Breeding from spring to summer, this little frog can be heard calling in the Gibraltar Range and Washpool National Park in far northern NSW. If you're in their area, listen out for their low-pitched 'orrk' call. 📷: Stephen Mahony

Why numbers are sometimes better than words. What people think you say when you say “little chance,” “probably not,” or “highly likely.”

Replying to @LettsGetSnakes
@LettsGetSnakes, Chris Jolly (Twitter absconder), and I just published an article on @ConversationEDU about the possible impact of a changing climate on snake sightings and abundance in Australia: theconversation.com/warm-win…

Warm winters are waking snakes early. Here’s what that means for them and us

Evidence suggests climate change could make snakes come out of hiding earlier. But it’s also likely to cause population declines or shifts in the long run, as snakes adjust to the new conditions.

Applications for the 2025 AWC ecology internship program are now open! Applying for an AWC internship was one of the best decisions I ever made: I loved mine so much I never left! If you're thinking of applying, I'm happy to answer questions about my experience with the program.

Huge congratulations to Milad Esmaeilbeigi on his first PhD paper, out now! Milad found evidence for a metal disease refuge from the deadly #amphibian #chytrid fungus, possibly explaining persistence of some populations of threatened #frogs 🐸 @UC_CCEG authors.elsevier.com/c/1jalD…
