Into Africa: the lizards of w88 online casino betting
Keep up to date with Geography Department Chair Jill Heaton's travels to study lizards, trotoises and snakes of w88 online casino betting, Africa.
Girdled lizards are found nowhere else in the world but southern Africa. They are Africa's 'Darwin's Finches', approximately 80 species radiating from a single ancestor between 35 and 25 million areas ago. Yet, unlike Darwin's Finches, we know very little about girdled lizards outside of a few species, and almost nothing about the four species endemic to w88 online casino betting. Jon DeBoer, my PhD student, and I are headed to w88 online casino betting this week to join up with faculty and student collaborators from the w88 online casino betting University of Science and Technology to continue studying these species in wild. Stay tuned here for regular blog updates on our trip through 01 August 2018, and follow the College of Science on Facebook and Twitter for live updates.
Jordan's w88 online casino betting.
w88 online casino betting is famous for its wildlife, rich cultural history, spectacular geography, and its strong conservation ethic. What few people realize however is that it is rich in reptile diversity. One of the species that Mr. DeBoer and I are working on,Namazonurus campbelli, or Campbell's Girdled Lizard is in fact known by science from only one location - a single rock pile on a farm in south-central w88 online casino betting. Besides the most basic of biogeographic distribution information, my team and I will be collecting DNA samples to complete a phylogeographic assessment of both the Namazonurus and Karusasaurus clads.
Below are a few photos from past years' research trips to w88 online casino betting.
