The "Hoser review" of the genus Thamnophis...

Lol..... the day I start calling a blacknecked garter snake "Gregswedoshus (Whybrowus) cyrtopsis" will be a cold day in hell.

By the way.... hi guys

Let's be real, guys: no self-respecting scientist would take to a hobbyist forum to defend their work. Anyone who has had legit work published should only concern themselves with how it is received by their peers.

But where do I start with this paper? Firstly, it is poorly written. No legit journal would publish a paper like that based on the grammar and formatting alone.

Secondly, the abstract mentions phylogenetic evidence but the text does not provide any. The evidence provided is primarily a statement of morphological differences.

Thirdly, this is not original research. This is a research paper based solely on past work by other parties.

Hi, there. How are things?

[aSnakeLovinBabe]

Well actually they're a mixture of bad and good. Very bad on the snake keeping side. I'll explain, possibly tomorrow in a new thread.

Yeah, I saw the facebook posts. Very tragic.

I haven't forgotten to come back and write up a post! I'm just busy this weekend with field herping and the baby I'm hoping to have some in the field tham pics for my post.

Dear all, Australasian Journal of Herpetology Issues 13-15 complete the current global review of snakes at the genus level and has now for the first time treated all extant snakes consistently, for the first time.
Between them, issues 13 and 15 name about another 50 genera, at least 20 tribes and lesser numbers of subgenera, species and subspecies of mainly primitive snakes.
One of the highlights is the naming of a new monotypic genus in honor of the recently deceased snake handler, Luke Yeomans.
Details at:
Australasian Journal of Herpetology
While I cop criticism from some quarters for adopting the standard practice of naming taxa after people, I have no regrets at all, and especially when the people I choose are so deserving of recognition.AJH-Issues-13-15-2.jpg
All the best

I hope this thread gets deleted. Nobody wants your stupid book.

I got tired of my career as an architect. Now I'm a fireman.

Hey Stefan... I'm bored of my job as a gamer... Can I get a job being a fireman assistant? I don't know exactly what I'd do but I'm bored.
