PUBLICATIONS: three new student notes published

Three new student-led notes were recently published in Herpetological Review 56(1). One was a Geographic Distribution Note reporting seven new occurrence records of six species of Michigan amphibians and reptiles, and was written by M.S. student Jake Kuschel. The other two were notes written by Ben Genter, an undergraduate researcher in the lab. Ben’s notes were: 1) a batch of distributional records of non-native amphibians and reptiles in the Florida, and 2) a Natural History Note describing a predation where at Mexican Treefrog (Smilisca baudinii) had consumed a Mediterranean Gecko (Hemidactylus turcicus) in south Texas. Congratulations to both students on their publications!
