Episode 121: Herp Science Sunday: Bubble-breathing Anoles - So Much Pingle I'm so happy to produce another Herp Science Sunday segment with Dr. Alex Krohn! In this episode we talk with Dr. Alexandra Martin, one of the co-authors of a brand new paper, which lays out some asto...

Thanks to @somuchpingle.bsky.social for a great podcast on our lab's paper in @jexpbiol.bsky.social, led by Dr. Allie Martin @alliemartin.bsky.social 🦎💧

*Allie is currently looking for a postdoc to grow her genomics and/or Bayesian stat skills.* If you have or hear of an opening, please reach out!

Color-changing Females: Just Blending in or Born to Stand Out?? Across the Anolis genus, color and color change are used in a variety of ways, from camouflage to signaling. While many studies have focused on male coloration, few have explored the more subtle fe…

Fantastic research led by @kellywuthrich.bsky.social

Anolis aquaticus, a species of small, semi-aquatic lizard is seen here being held in the hand of Allie Martin, a permitted researcher.

My intro is in need of a little update!Hello bluesky! I'm a #behavioralecologist and recently earned my PhD in @lindseyswierk.bsky.social 's lab, studying #antipredator #behavior and #thermal #physiology in #Anolis aquaticus, a species of diving lizard!

Excited to (finally) share the last bit of work from my undergrad with @lindseyswierk.bsky.social

Color change in female water anoles isn’t associated with social interactions, but color could signal body condition!

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

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
