Philly naturalist Robin Irizarry and Billy talk with their antipodean urban bioblitz colleague Stephan Fricker about the Great Southern Bioblitz, the fall (or spring if you're down under) counterpart to the City Nature Challenge.
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].
