Glad to have been part of this amazing team to help resolve systematics of the Pope’s pit vipers complex doi.org/10.3897/vz.74.… #herpetology #NewSpecies

Rumour* has it Frank Herbert was inspired to create the Dune sandworms after seeing the mouths of Allodiplogaster sudhausi under a microscope. *This rumour can't be confirmed and may or may not have originated from this tweet.

We are back in Hyderabad! This year, the Molecular Phylogeny Workshop is happening at the University of Hyderabad from Oct 10-14, 2024. If you want to learn the basics of molecular phylogenetics and its applications, please do apply!

It is important that the effort and energies of the forest dept are devoted more towards the pressing challenges and threats to India's biodiversity rather than to arbitrarily and illegally acting against #wildlife researchers. Ritwick Dutta, Tiasa Adhya✍️thewire.in/environment/of…

Another new snake species! A new long-snouted vine snake from India sciencedirect.com/science/articl… Harshil Patel 🦎🐍🐸 #herpetology #newspecies #India #Bihar #Assam

Wow! A blind snake (Indotyphlops braminus I think) feeding on ant brood. These snakes are completely subterranean, so you can’t really observe them in the wild. They’re specialized predators of ants and termites and, evidently, they look really weird when they eat. Ant 🐜 🐍 🐜

A new genus and species of snake from the Himalayas, Anguiculus dicaprioi named after Leonardo DiCaprio rdcu.be/dXDI7 #newspecies #herpetology #nhm #rewild #leonardo #dicaprio #HimachalPradesh #Himalayas #Liopeltis

Meet Ophisops venustus, a new species of snake eye lizard that we describe from hills of Gujarat and Maharashtra. The new species is named 'venustus', a Latin term for charming / elegant / beautiful. Link to the paper : taprobanica.org/Archives/Volum…

A new snake discovered from Himachal Pradesh has been placed into a newly identified genus, Anguiculus (meaning small snake). This finding highlights the distinctiveness of the Western Himalaya. Zeeshan A. Mirza Justin Bernstein ✒️Neha Jain india.mongabay.com/2025/01/an-ins…

Researcher Zeeshan A. Mirza @MPI_Bio has described four new tarantulas from the Western Ghats. Among them was an entirely new genus called "Cilantica", named after the Tamil word for spider. #NewSpecies ✒️Liz Kimbrough, Ph.D. 🌈 india.mongabay.com/2025/01/new-ta…

Happy to share our recent study on Phylogeny and Systematics of Oligodon juglandifer with Comments on the Taxonomic Status of Oligodon lipipengi mdpi.com/3191916 #mdpidiversity via @DiversityMdpi Zeeshan A. Mirza Virender

The first woman to be awarded a Nobel Prize, the first individual to be awarded two Nobel Prizes and still today the only individual with two Nobel Prizes in two different scientific categories: Marie Skłodowska Curie. Skłodowska Curie developed the term radioactivity,

🐜 If you are interested in studying ant systematics, diversification, and trait evolution, we are looking for a PhD student to join our lab in 2025. 🐜 For more details please check out our lab website: aparnalajmi.weebly.com Entrance exam: researchadmissions.gitam.edu 🙏 RT

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

Geckos serve as the best example of vocal reptiles. However, we, Virender et al. (2025), report vocalisation by an agamid lizard, Calotes emma. Read about the observation: hamadryad.org/index.php/jour… #herpetology #research #lizards #vocalization

Very happy to share our work on diversification dynamics in peninsular India is out in Ecology Letters. Thank you DBT/WT India Alliance for the support! CCMB
