#87 - Anna Thonis: Puerto Rico Anoles

Published: Dec. 29, 2020, 9:21 p.m.

Today\'s storyteller is Anna Thonis! She\'s a PhD student at Stony Brook University in New York, studying anoles in Puerto Rico. Anna\'s research is all about figuring out how competition between the various anole species works, and using that information to develop species distribution models. And then taking all of that into account with the added complications of climate change. We talk about field work, all about anoles, about hurricanes and climate change, and at the end, I share a very strange phobia I have about a particular lizard. Enjoy!
