So glad to have this published in the J. Biogeography! We use genomics to elucidate patterns of diversification and dispersal in the Indo-Australian Archipelago and reject notorious biogeographic hypotheses in the region! Amazing job to all of the coauthors. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

I did something I thought was impossible. I cleared out my email of 11 years, 30,000 emails. Including an email from 3 years from myself with a link "how to clear your inbox and clean your email."
So excited to have this important work on Philippines biodiversity get accepted. Congratulations and many thanks to my colleagues and friends over seas for having me be a part of this! zookeys.pensoft.net/article/1673...
Check out our new paper embracing the heterogeneity of whole genomes for understanding evolutionary processes! And it's on #snakes! Always a plus! Huge thank you to my collaborators @bwperry.bsky.social and many more!

So proud of the student I've been mentoring, Soe, on her first publication! Check it out @HerpNotes to see some neat country level records on wolf snakes in Myanmar! herpetologynotes.org/index.php/hn...
If you're a fan of #snakes, then check out all of the incredible talks this week through the links for Snake Week!
Very happy to announce that I will be continuing my #snake research as an Assistant Professor at Slippery Rock University in Pennsylvania Fall 2026! This is the start of the SERPNT Lab! 🐍 Thank you to the huge number of individuals that have made this possible!

Wondering how fossils 🦴 can tell the stories of the past? Check out our new paper on Holocene #bats in the Caribbean, and what they taught us about extinction! 🦇 Congratulations to lead @mormoops.bsky.social at the AMNH, and all collaborators royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/...

I'm amazed that even in torrential downpours and flash floods, these guys still manage to hang onto branches or even just sit atop leaves. Pseudogekko and Cyrtodactylus in the Philippines
