Herp Workers Meeting 2026 in Glasgow is on its way #HWM2026
My kind of homecoming after an evening of roadcruising in Arizona!
How genus-splitting #taxonomy works in real life - an analogy.

Workshop on #ConservationGenetics at #HWM2026 led by Axel Barlow and @simonmaddock.bsky.social of @bangoruniversity.bsky.social and Newcastle University -assessing participant knowledge and solving scenarios.
The GRC Venom Evolution, Function and Biomedical Applications is back for 2026! The conference and corresponding ECR seminar will be held in Barcelona in May 🐍🐜🐌🐝🦂🐡🪼🕷️🐞🇪🇸🌞
Accepted manuscript now online! The first paper from @miaryras.bsky.social's exciting PhD work on the consequences of warming winters for lizard physiology and behaviour, in collab w/ @wolfgangwuster.bsky.social, @arc-trust.bsky.social, & others:

How does life evolve to adapt to modern cities?
Out now in Science, my PhD work with @lindymcbr.bsky.social uncovers the ancient origin of the “London Underground mosquito” – one of the most iconic examples of urban adaptation.

Winter is warming faster than summer, posing substantial threat to hibernating ectotherms, whose physiology depends directly on environmental conditions. While the effects of active season warming are...
Understanding how life is adapting to urban environments represents an important challenge in evolutionary biology. In this work, we investigate a widely cited example of urban adaptation, Culex pipie...
Winters are warming faster than summers, which could affect hibernating ectotherms, but it turns out that wall lizards cope well with warm winters & mini winter heatwaves, although they suffer more DNA damage, so the effects of warm winters may be concealed

Foreign aid cuts are expected to cause a rise in malaria cases and deaths across sub-Saharan Africa
