New species 🚨, not one, not two, 13 new bush frogs from Northeast India!!!
One of the exciting revisions I've been involved in for a few years now is out today. It is led by @bitupan-herp.bsky.social, a PhD. student who will soon be a doctor.

Peter’s Lanka skink (Lankascincus fallax) is a tiny skink endemic to #SriLanka that displays throat color polymorphism. A study led by my former student Ishara Jayamanna found that bright throat colors occur only in larger males. Learn more here: doi.org/10.33256/35....
