California is home to almost 80 species of “herps” in a variety of sizes and shapes. This talk will provide an overview to some of our common and uncommon neighbors, and give a preview of groundbreaking research in how lizards communicate (and explore the world) in wavelengths of color invisible to the human eye. From Gila monsters to the common fence lizard of your backyard, the world of reptiles and amphibians will come alive during this presentation.
Charles Hood, author A Californian’s Guide to the Birds Among Us and its companion title A Californian’s Guide to the Mammals Among Us (Heyday Books) will team up with PhD candidates and co-authors Erin Westeen (UC Berkeley) and Jose Gabriel Martinez Fonseca (Northern Arizona University) to discuss a selection of species featured in their new book, Sea Turtles to Sidewinders: A guide to the most fascinating reptiles and amphibians of the American west (Timber Press).
