@EdwardsHerpLab Those four species each linked to geography:
kartiwarru - Strzelecki Desert; tjakalpa -Gt Victoria Desert; Tuniluki - mallee south of the Murray River, and mallee on the Eyre Peninsula.

@EdwardsHerpLab Four species are new. Clockwise from top left: Ctenophorus kartiwarru, C. tjakalpa, C. tuniluki and C. ibiri. Grateful to a team of photographers from a mix of colleagues and keen naturalists posting on iNaturalist. Love your work and willingness to share.

@DrEmSherratt Academic parenthood is very similar to the other sort.

@PutterT @ian_g_brennan @Keogh_Lab Can’t wait to read! Filling a massive gap in Oz herp diversity studies. Nicely done to all the parents of this baby!

@LoneRangifer One of your house guardians has manifested!

@michael_s_y_lee Congrats on the long-term pair bond, Mike and Meredith!

@LoneRangifer @DrAliceClement @FlindersPalaeo Wonderful stuff folks! Love stories of evolution like this.

@Dr_Rob_Davis @annajmhopkins Not surprised you found this. Natural history collections are underfunded, understaffed and cramped for space. And collecting vertebrate specimens is severely constrained by regulators that are uninformed regarding the roles of collections. Don’t see it changing.

@JamesUVanDyke @MikeG_lizards Yes, little known fact. A lab in Wuhan was subcontracted for the job.

@kanishkauku Cool critters! Nice work Kanishka

@NankivellJames Excellent news! Big congrats!!

@eco_jolly @ABCaustralia This kind of headline is irritatingly shallow. The thorny devil lineage had an early divergence, yes, but that does not mean that the ancestor looked and lived like our TD.

@AWLandscapeSA @kailah_thorn Think it might be the smaller species, striata not kintorei. Elliptical pupil and plain reddish coloring.
