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.

Does a common anti-depressant found in surface waters alter anxiety-related behaviour and sociability in fish? pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021… @Martin_J_M_34 with colleagues from #BobWongLab and the US and China found 'yes' and 'no'. @BBM_Wong @MinnaSaaristo #MonashEcology

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. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/… @MonashBiol

#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!

#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 animalecologyinfocus.com/201…

It's World Wombat Day, so let's all remember that wombats can crush their enemies against the walls of their own burrows using their specially reinforced butts. Be the wombat.
