📢 City lizards are more social ! Thrilled to share the first paper from my PhD, out now in #BiologyLetters @RSocPublishing ! We show that urban lizards are more social than their non-urban counterparts 🦎🏙️🌳 doi.org/10.1098/rsbl.2…

So cool!

It is finally out my paper with @LizabelDM where we described an usual association between ocelots and common opossums in the Peruvian Amazon. esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ec…

Do not forget to include on your today's reading list our new paper, on Tokay geckos and human handlers. 🤩🥳🥳 nature.com/articles/s4159… @BirgitSzabo @BehavEcoBIE

We are hiring a post-doc to work on invasive and urban wall lizards here in Ohio! It’s a two-year, NSF-funded position including research and teaching, especially focused on those interested in pursuing a career at a PUI. Full details here: tinyurl.com/4f56up8a Please RT!

It turns out...Komodo dragons have iron-coated teeth! nature.com/articles/s4155… Their serrations and tips pop into the mouth with an orange hue. Using different techniques, we show that these iconic lizards have special iron-rich coatings on each tooth, keeping them razor sharp!

I am so immensely thankful for this award! Thank you to all the students who continue to surprise and amaze me. ☺️🧑‍🎓 aktuell.uni-bielefeld.de/2024/07/24/kar…
