This episode, we speak with Graham Reynolds, co-author of the new book Boas of the West Indies: Evolution, Natural History, and Conservation.
Graham’s co-authors of the new book are Robert W. Henderson, Luis M. Díaz, Tomás M. Rodríguez-Cabrera and Alberto Puente-Rolón.
Graham Reynolds is Associate Professor of Biology at the University of North Carolina Asheville, an Associate at the Museum of Comparative Zoology at Harvard University, and a National Geographic Explorer. He is coeditor of The Amphibians of Tennessee and The Reptiles of Tennessee. You can follow him on Twitter @CaribbeanBoas.
We spoke to Graham about how he and his fellow researchers and co-authors have helped to significantly increase the level of knowledge and understanding of the biology of boas in the West Indies, how they hope their new book will draw new researchers into the field, and we’ll hear Graham share some interesting behind-the-scenes stories during his time studying boas.
