It’s nubbin’ time! Our new paper on skink limb reduction and its environmental associations is out: https://t.co/AnRBzxu2gM. Thanks to @DrTeethAl @chapple_lab Christy Hipsley @uncshai @MarkHutchos @AlexSlavenko @rco_anderson.

Almost the entire evolutionary history of Pig-nosed turtles occurred in the northern hemisphere. But now, scientists have discovered a five-million-year old Pig-nosed turtle fossil in the bayside Melbourne suburb of Beaumaris.

Ready for the special @BlackAFinSTEM episode? UM, YES.

30 OLOGISTS share their stories: Electric fish snouts, turtle butts, bird songs, bats, Econ, porcupine noses, #BlackintheIvory, how to be a better ally & more.

I LOVED MAKING IT. A must-listen:

The Monash Skink Mafia (feat. amphibian and snake fanciers) brought the heat to #WCH9 with some solid talks. Thanks Dunedin! @chapple_lab @RoAguilar15 @rco_anderson @Genevieve_DM @maddydejong @Scincomancer @r_tingley @uncshai @SilkeCleuren

Does a common anti-depressant found in surface waters alter anxiety-related behaviour and sociability in fish? https://t.co/xl5GxU4SiF @Martin_J_M_34 with colleagues from #BobWongLab and the US and China found 'yes' and 'no'. @BBM_Wong @MinnaSaaristo #MonashEcology

[Geometric Biology @GeometricBiol]

How common is sexually antagonistic selection and how can we empirically test for it? Models developed by Tim Connallon and @Genevieve_DM suggest that the cross-sex gentic correlation for fitness is a poor proxy for sexual antagonism. https://t.co/4gBqTxoRP3 @MonashBiol

@DSRovinsky @PalaeoJamesRule @Genevieve_DM @_alexmcd I think I did pretty good with those creatures we were fighting as well :)

#climateChange is a disaster for painted #turtles, and all species with temperature-dependent sex determination.

Now is the time to take action, and save those turtles!

Thanks Bob! And thank you @EcolSocAus for supporting my research!

#Skinks come in a variety of colours and patterns. But why and how are these colour polymorphisms maintained? Genevieve Matthews from @chapple_lab summarises her recent publication in the Journal on the blog https://t.co/zFNBOH64HL
