Another successful NHM Adder Day! Eight adders, one slow worm and one common lizard :)  In collaboration with Prof Julia Day and Dr David Gower, we are offering a PhD project that will expand on our previous frog vision research: Diversity and evolution of burrowing frog visual systems Read the full project description here.  Wonderful to help host Prof Jing Che and Dr Kai Wang from KIZ on their recent visit to London!  Had a wonderful time at the tenth World Congress of Herpetology in Kuching. Great talks, posters, and loads of former NHMers attended! Mac users can download our eBook at Apple Books. This book provides an introduction to animal vision and highlights what we discovered during our NSF-NERC project. A lovely meeting at the University of Wolverhampton. Really fun to give a joint plenary with Patrick Campbell about the importance of museum collections in herpetological research - many thanks to the organizers for the invitation. Dr. Ian Brennan and Joe Rees also presented new research on frogs and squamates. Overall an exceptional outing to the Midlands complete with a visit to the Wolves pitch (Molineux Stadium) for the closing banquet! Super grateful to the hundreds of amphibian biologists that generated the molecular data used for our recent study in Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution. Time-calibrated trees are available to download on GitHub and OSF. NHM Press Release  With support from the Society for the Study of Amphibians and Reptiles and the Systematics Association, we held a symposium on amphibian vision at the 2023 Joint Meeting of Ichthyologists and Herpetologists in Norfolk, Virginia. Many thanks to co-organizer Dr. Rayna Bell and all of the speakers! An excellent conference in New Mexico. Enjoyed sharing Southwestern cuisine with other NHM/Londoners in attendance! |
