It's another episode of Herp Science Sunday!  On this installment, Dr. Alex Krohn and I discuss two papers:



Between fruits, flowers and nectar: The extraordinary diet of the frog Xenohyla truncata

by Carlos Henrique de-Oliveira-Nogueira et al., and published in Vol 35 of the journal Food Webs



Aggregation and social interaction in garter snakes (Thamnophis sirtalis sirtalis)

by Morgan Skinner and Noam Miller, and published in Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology (2020) 74: 51



and as always, drop me a note if you need a copy of these publications.
