Thrilled to see *National Geographic* highlight the wall lizards living in Cincinnati and our research on these little guys!

#WalliesWorld
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.

Super proud of my grad students @ashockney24.bsky.social and Kate Manges Douglas. They gave stellar presentations at #SICB2025 after just one semester of grad school!

Everyone needs to see this 😂😂 🦎🦎

I learned that Crested anoles in cities have longer toes than crested anoles in the forest #SICB2025 #DrawWhatYouLearned
A crested anole is dressed like Carrie Bradshaw with her toes hanging over the ends of her heels. She’s a lizard in the city!! The label says “crested anoles that live in the cities in Puerto Rico have longer toes than forest anoles” and she is labeled “crestie Bradshaw”

Now we’re learning about how lizards adapt to urban environments w/ @princetonvaughn.bsky.social!

Urban anoles- across multiple cities- have longer limbs! They can also handle higher temps because cities are hotter.

Princeton asks- are city lizards faster sprinters with those gams??

Excited to talk tomorrow at #SICB2025!!

Excited to talk about parallel adaptation to urban environments in anole lizards at #SICB2025 as part of the Cities as Natural Experiments Symposium! Swing by Marquis A Saturday at 9 and say hi! We'll talk about thermal performance, morphology, and kinematics, so be sure not to miss this!

Hi new Bluesky people. I study urban evolutionary ecology, catch lizards, run marathons, and have an awesome lab of amazing people at NYU!

Hi! I am new to bluesky and trying to find all my Twitter friends, and/or anyone who loves lizards, ecology, or conservation 🦎💚

Happy to be here (finally) 🥰

Hi everyone! Decided that since I’m over here now, I should introduce myself!
I am a PhD student in Shane Campbell-Staton’s lab studying how anole lizards are adapting to anthropogenic change.
I use genomics, functional morphology, and kinematics to study rapid parallel evolution!
