PUBLICATION: student note published on Hemidactylus

A new student-led note was recently published in Herpetological Review 56(3). MS student Kevin Green published a series of distributional records of the non-native Hemidactylus aff. malcolmsmithi from Mississippi and Louisiana, including the furthest north documented population in the USA, in northern Louisiana. This species is rapidly expanding its range across the southern USA, and will likely become the dominant Hemidactylus species at introduced localities. Congrats to Kevin on another publication!
