Congratulation to @jameststroud.bsky.social on winning our Bicentenary Award 2026! An exceptional evolutionary ecologist with 61 papers and 3,000+ citations, his 2025 paper in Nature caps a decade of landmark lizard evolution work. His outreach programme Lizards on the Loose has engaged thousands!

@ggcostoya.bsky.social has signed! Can't wait for Guille to join my group as a postdoc this summer -- lots of lizard papers on the horizon!! 🦎🦎🦎

I'm very happy to announce that I will be joining @jameststroud.bsky.social's lab at @gtsciences.bsky.social this June as a Postdoc Fellow! Super excited to join the 'zard hunt on "lizard island" and for all the excited research ahead! #anoletime 🦎

Thrilled to share that my first dissertation chapter is now published at Ecology! dx.doi.org/10.1002/ecy.... We embed TPCs into population dynamics to show how changing temperatures' ordering — not just its distribution — increases extinction risk (i.e. heatwaves matter!) @esajournals.bsky.social

Excited to share our new review in @natrevbiodiv.nature.com, coauthored w/allstar postdocs @vale-alaasam.bsky.social @annainthefield.bsky.social @anthonysnead.bsky.social Bridging island biogeography & evolutionary processes, we explore how eco-evo dynamics play out in the urban mosaic rdcu.be/e4tcj

🦎 Funded 4-year PhD position on Lizard Evolutionary Ecology in our lab at UCLouvain (Belgium)! Apply before 9 March! jobs.uclouvain.be/Personnelsci...

Why has live birth evolved repeatedly in lizards? A mechanistic model linking behavior, thermal physiology, and life history shows cold climates favor viviparity, providing causal support for the classic cold-climate hypothesis. Image credit: Wikimedia academic.oup.com/evlett/advan...

Check our new paper in @evolletters.bsky.social "Live birth in lizards: A process-based model for the roles of temperature, behavior, and life-history" In this study, we develop and validate a model capable of accurately predicting gestation length in lizards! academic.oup.com/evlett/advan...

Accurate quantification of thermal environments is vital for predicting climate change impacts. Here is a new method, integrating aerial thermography with field-deployed operative temperature models to generate fine-scale, spatiotemporally complete maps of operative temperature 🗺️ 🌡️ buff.ly/vngpJqN

The late Eric Pianka made thousands of observations of desert lizard body temperature and activity. We used them to test biophysical models of their cost of living and projected the models to past and future climates in Africa and Australia #unimelb #ARC @science.org www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

How an infinite DNA glitch saved millions. Our latest video is about Kary Mullis - quite possibly the weirdest person ever to win the Nobel Prize.

What a cool paper! 🤩 Using @inaturalist.bsky.social observations, Mayer et al. found that there are more melanistic snakes in colder regions than in warmer ones AND that melanistic snakes are more abundant with ⬆️ avian predator density 🐍🐦 Have look at it here: doi.org/10.1111/jbi....
