PAPER ALERT!🚨 New paper in Scientific Reports by Ali Puruleia, Cristóvão Nanvonamuquitxo, Alexandre Antonelli, Allison Perrigo and CMEC postdoc Harith Farooq et al. on the #rediscovery of Africa's montane skink and the implications for #conservation. nature.com/articles/s4159…

Good start to 2024: Our paper led by Harith Farooq now out in Conservation Letters: "The fear factor—Snakes 🐍 in Africa 🌍 might be at an alarming extinction risk". conbio.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/co… CMEC


Our new paper led by Harith Farooq now out in Current Biology : "Threats to reptiles at global and regional scales" In here we extend our work on mapping threats using the IUCN Red List data to 🐍🦎🐢and link threats to risk of extinctions authors.elsevier.com/c/1izpi3QW8S6E…


To ECCB 2024 Bologna goers interested in how we can use #RedList data to map hotspots and understand the relationship between threat and socioeconomic factors at the global level come see Harith Farooq and me in the Area-based session at 10 in Room A tomorrow (19th)
