Herpin' Ain't Easy: Anoles (and what their poop can teach us) with Chelsea Conner
Manage episode 284668604 series 2829930
Chelsea Conner (@ChelseaHerps on Twitter, and @Outtochelsea on Instagram) catches us up on anoles, the incredibly biodiverse lizards of evolutionary biologists' dreams. She discusses her research on the diet of Dominica's endemic eyed anoles (Anolis oculatus) and the invasive Puerto Rican anole (A. cristatellus). We learn about lizard lassoing and how Chelsea gets all the poop samples she needs. Oh, and did you know you needed stickers of anoles eating ice pops colored just like their dewlaps? Yep, you do [https://www.redbubble.com/people/ChelseaHerps/shop].
