Thanks Global Amphibian and Reptile Disease Conference for the kid zone and maternity room, making the conference work for this mom of 2! #GARD2022

Very interesting data on Bd-Ranavirus antagonism in Florida amphibians from ⁦Arik Hartmann⁩ at #GARD2022

Awesome talk Carly Muletz Wolz !!

Cool to see my picture (Top) being used at the Global Amphibian and Reptile Disease Conference! 😎 #ConservationPhotography #GARD2022

Ecstatic that my first North American snake is the black racer, this guy has obviously heard about me through the colubrid grapevine! What a welcome! The snake is part of a monitored population, just outside of Knoxville. #GARD2022 #Herpetology #Reptiles #Snakes

And what a cool and important talk about Bd tolerance, resistance, and evo-evolutionary implications!

Exciting work by Kelsey Hauser on mast cell enrichment elevating Bd resistance, likely through control of inflammation! #GARD2022

Enjoying all the cool talks at #GARD2022! #RDZLab members Tristan and Monica (Mónica Alexandra ) did a great job presenting their thesis research 👏🏽 👏🏽👏🏽🐸🐍🍄 #LatinxPI #txstbio #txst

Leon Grayfer putting the Lego pieces together explaining how endogenous retroviruses contribute to tadpole resistance to Ranavirus - super cool stuff!! #GARD2022

Yes we had one spot open up! Grab it while you can & contact me with any questions UCF undergrads

Invasive species often have lower genetic diversity, despite adapting to new conditions. How? Lafond 2022 found bullfrogs maintained diversity at important functional loci involved with immunity. These genes help the frogs combat the fungal disease Bd. amphibiaweb.org

If you work with #seaturtle mtDNA, see supplement for tables of long-fragment haplotypes (>550bp) across species with GenBank accession # and synonymous names. 🐢🧬 For each haplotype, we included: life stages, countries, & ocean basin(s) where it's been found + citation. 🧵3/5

I started an invasive snake lung parasite monitoring project a year ago with Terry Farrell & now it’s grown big enough to have a name. SLAM - snake lungworm alliance & monitoring. Pictured are some pentatomes delivered by Andrew Durso & his students at FGCU !!

Here's the dissection video I've been promising! In this, Terry Farrell & I show several snake dissections & discuss the differences between native & invasive snake pentastomes. The updated fact sheet & webinar details (5/24 at 4 PM ET) coming soon... youtu.be/qMiEnSrapFc

today I am extracting DNA from a large female Ro that was removed from the lung of a captive garter snake that died… the pet trade likely has a great influence on the spread of this invasive snake parasite. though morphology is consistent w Ro, I will confirm ID molecularly.

So incredibly pleased for Katie who won this well-deserved award for her JMIH talk on sea turtle MHC evolution!

What a day for Savage Lab! Congrats to Matt for this #JMIH award recognizing his dissertation work on Perkinsea disease in FL frogs. See his paper out in Journal of Animal Ecology last week for more details 😍
