In todayโs herping highlight I bring you an iddy biddy banded eastern brown snake. This individual is likely to be 8-10 months old and will eventually loose its pattern as it matures #wildoz
This study goes way back to our grad school days working on Red-backed Fairywrens in Australia. Males come in two flavors: ornamented red/black and female-like brown. Females love the ornamented males but we never really knew why... UNTIL NOW! 2/8

Another productive meeting the other day with the Oceania regional chapter of the IUCN Snake Specialist Group! Including bringing expert minds together to try and solve some bewildering mysteries uncovered in recent research w/in the group relating to snake conservation in Oz.
A fun project finally published! We have genomic work coming out for some #snakes, but our survey work served as great data on its own for a fun paper on microhabitat and species distributions!

Meet Pughโs Mountain Frog (Philoria pughi) ๐ธ
Breeding from spring to summer, this little frog can be heard calling in the Gibraltar Range and Washpool National Park in far northern NSW. If you're in their area, listen out for their low-pitched 'orrk' call.
