Check out some new work on Amazonian tree canopy biodiversity from our lab! 🌳🙊🌳

Thanks so much! 🦎🦎🦎

An exciting new study now out in which I played a small part - Wood Frog Testicular Microstructure
Correlates with Plasma Hormone Concentrations
During Late-Stage Spermatogenesis www.herpconbio.org/Volume_20/Is...
Excited to see this out, and to add a new taxonomic group to my pub list!! 🐸❤️

High dissolved oxygen extends dive duration and suggests physical gill use in a vertebrate Highlighted Article: High levels of dissolved oxygen in water extend dive durations in a semi-aquatic Anolis lizard, suggesting that anoles may rebreathe bubbles to uptake oxygen from stream water.

Water anoles take a bubble of air down when they submerge, which they breathe like a tiny scuba tank, and now @lindseyswierk.bsky.social & co reveal that the reptiles may also be using the bubble like a gill, to breathe oxygen directly from the water

I’d love to be added if possible… thanks for putting this together!

Hello bluesky! I'm a #behavioralecologist and PhD candidate in @lindseyswierk.bsky.social 's lab, currently studying #antipredator #behavior and #thermal #physiology in #Anolis aquaticus, a species of diving lizard!

Fantastic, thanks for putting this together Alex!

We have TWO new student-authored papers out this fall about Mexican jumping bean (larvae) behavior! Check them out! 🫘 #undergraduateresearch

This is gorgeous!!! 😍

Our lab is thrilled to share new research published today in
Biology Letters on the function of water anole 'bubble breathing' ! 💧🦎💧 #lizard #HERper
