#ProtectedAreas are key tools against the #Biodiversity crisis. Yet despite being vulnerable, tarantulas are often overlooked. Here, species richness & areas of endemism in Argentine species are investigated, aiming to propose new PCAs!

Sphaerocrystals, small "Maltese crosses" visible in polarized light in plants, were found on seed surfaces and in testa cells in some Euphorbia species, but missing from major clades in the subgenus Esula!

Prehistoric #Dolphin remains found in the Shomyoji Midden off Tokyo Bay share haplotypes with modern populations, suggesting maternal groups of bottlenose and white-sided dolphins have been present here for 4000 years!

This #WorldReptileDay learn about the diversity of anoles in our latest paper!
21 Oct 2024
New paper w/ Josh Hall and @cjbthawley in @BiolJLinnSoc
Cuban brown anoles (Anolis sagrei) and Puerto Rican crested anoles (A cristatellus) are outstandingly convergent in ecology, morphology, and behavior...
..but what about their life histories? 🥚🦎

The nectarless male flowers of Pandanus were thought to be wind-pollinated, yet their floral scent suggested otherwise, with detailed analysis revealing the first example of insect #Pollination in this genus!

#Iconic examples of evolution, Darwin's finches have adapted to differences in foraging strategies. Smaller finches have shorter wings for increased manoeuvrability, while longer legs enable climbing behaviour in larger finches!

Famous for its rich #Biodiversity, many radiations in Lake Tanganyika are still unclear. To address this, 2 #Catfish clades were investigated, finding evidence of niche conservatism in Synodontis!
