Responses of Mainland and Island Wall Lizards to Rat Chemical Cues

🧪 New paper out! Growing up, wall lizards undergo a UV-visible “awkward phase” (who doesn’t?) that we can’t see—but they can. These ontogenetic color changes may mediate juvenile–adult interactions by delaying the onset of adult social signals. doi.org/10.1002/jez.... #colsci #lizard #ontogeny

Cryptic Ontogenetic Changes in the Ventral Coloration of a Color Polymorphic Wall Lizard (Podarcis muralis)
Wall lizards' ventral coloration undergoes cryptic ontogenetic color changes invisible without UV vision. We tracked wall lizards from hatching to one year of age. Spectrophotometry and visual modeli...

Check this one out— super-cool mesocosm design to test the impacts of night time warming. Turns out, it’s not great for these lizards. Thanks to @constantperry.bsky.social and Alexis Rutschmann for the fantastic collab.

Thrilled to see *National Geographic* highlight the wall lizards living in Cincinnati and our research on these little guys! www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/arti... #WalliesWorld
nationalgeographic.com
10 lizards were smuggled into Cincinnati in a sock. Now there are tens of thousands.
Native to Europe, common wall lizards are growing bigger, faster, and more resilient in Ohio. Scientists say the city itself may be driving their evolution.

The NPS says it’s just following orders. But executive orders are not laws. Contact the NPS and tell them that their compliance in erasing trans people is not acceptable.

Though widespread and popular in the pet trade, we know very little about their natural history. In this study, lead by undergraduate student Ethan Livingston, we characterized their thermal biology. This Includes one of the highest temperature tolerances *ever recorded* for a vertebrate!

Check out our first study with sandfish skinks (Scincus scincus)! Published in the Journal of Herpetology and available now (open access): doi.org/10.1670/2317...
A brown-and-yellow striped sandfish skink (lizard) with a small temperature sensor adhered to it's back.

Despite rescinding the original memo, the NSF continues to comply with the federal funding freeze and have not communicated with us on timeline... leaving many PRFBs without pay. Also, it seems that many Universities are unaware this is happening... spread the word

Have you ever thought about the perks of doing fieldwork in your own backyard? ...Are you "urban-ecology-curious"? Come to our workshop at #SICB2025 on Jan 4 10:30-12:00 to learn about urban field safety, accessibility, engaging undergrads, designing experiments, permit perils, and more!

Check it out! The Salamander Population and Adaptation Research Collaboration Network is looking to hire *10* postbaccalaureate mentees for the second cohort of our NSF RaMP program. I'll be hosting one here at OWU! Details in flyer below and at sparcnet.org/home/sparcne....

Super-cool work from @agunderson.bsky.social and his lab. I was so taken by a presentation of this work from 2 years ago that we started collaborating to look at lead in wall lizards, too. The little buggers are nigh indestructible!

I want to create a list of turtle scientists around the world! 🐢 If you study turtles, could you please reply to this post or DM me so I can add you to my list of "Fun Turtle Science"? (Creating a list instead of a starter pack so I can pin it to my feed.)
