The Amphibian Genomics Consortium is now online. Please join us and help spread the word about our organization! We aim to bring amphibian genomics information to the hands of people that will use it for conservation and functional research 🐸🧬🐸🧬mvs.unimelb.edu.au/amphibian-geno…

Save the date! It is with very great pleasure that, on behalf of the Local Organising Committee, I invite you to join us at the 22nd European Congress of Herpetology which will take place at the University of Wolverhampton, United Kingdom, between 4th and 8th September 2023.

Londoners: at a loose end tomorrow evening? Get yourself to Royal Institution for battle of the unloved organisms: RATS - @VikkiNeville University of Bristol vs SNAKES - Jeffrey W. Streicher Science at the Natural History Museum vs WASPS - me UCL Centre for Biodiversity & Environment Research. It's going to be FUN ☺️! #votesforwasps #scicom rigb.org/whats-on/wasps…

Very excited to see this study published in Proceedings B! Led by Karla Alujević, we show that male lizards in territories of low thermal quality have reduced fitness because of opportunities lost to thermoregulatory behavior. royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/abs/10.109…

Chameleons - why do some species have so many fewer chromosomes than others? Microchromosome fusion and convergent evolution by MarcelloMezzasalma Natalie Cooper Jeffrey W.
