Field notes
The stories range from measuring preserved specimens to reconstructing how a snake collected in New Guinea acquired the wrong name. Short “Did you know?” entries add compact research details, including a portable photo setup made with a black cotton T-shirt and a craft-store crochet frame. The homepage also lists publications, co-authors, and species pages alongside the story collection.
