Djoko Iskandar

Djoko Tjahjono Iskandar (born 1950) is an Indonesian herpetologist who studies the amphibians of Southeast Asia and Australasia. He is a professor of biosystematics and ecology at Bandung Institute of Technology in West Java, Indonesia.

Iskandar has been the first to describe many species of amphibian, including the Bornean flat-headed frog (Barbourula kalimantanensis) in 1978,[1][2] and, in 2014, Limnonectes larvaepartus, the only known frog that directly births tadpoles.[3] He is the author of The Amphibians of Java and Bali.[4] The monotypic banded watersnake genus Djokoiskandarus is named in his honour,[5] as are several species of lizard and frog.

gollark: But what if you need to give someone 92 guns?
gollark: To be truly marxist, you should have communism where literally everyone is given 100 guns by the state.
gollark: Didn't Marx say something about not taking away guns from the proletariat?
gollark: They seem to have decided that now knives are EXTREME DANGER™ and are overregulating them, despite them being waaaay more useful as general-use tools than guns.
gollark: I mean, knives would be very UK.
