A free public lecture by US Geological Survey research biologist
Robert Fisher Exciting discoveries are spurring research to
uncover hidden secrets deep within South Pacific tropical
forests. A scientific expedition roaming the forests of Papua
New Guinea recently discovered a new species dubbed the
bumblebee gecko. Some Pacific Islands species are endangered,
while others pose emerging threats to nearby wildlife and
ecosystems. How are scientists studying these species, and what
are herpetologists finding while studying Pacific lizard
biodiversity? This USGS public lecture will also be webstreamed
