Update: the project is fully funded!

Thank you to all of our backers! We are now fully funded, thanks to generous donations from family, friends, colleagues, and some fellow science enthusiasts that found this project interesting.

The campaign doesn't technically end until the end of the day on June 1st. So, if we are luck enough to receive any more donations, Martin will be happy to hear he is getting a raise! Otherwise, we are very grateful, and I look forward to updating you all as the project continues.

About This Project

The decision of where to nest is perhaps the greatest one a lizard can make for her offspring. Many lizards dig nests in open, sunny spots because warm temperatures help lizard embryos grow and survive. However, climate warming is raising temperatures at those nest sites to the point they may soon become harmful and even lethal to lizard embryos. This project investigates whether lizards can choose shadier, cooler places to nest, which could buffer offspring from effects of climate change.

Blast off!
