Saying thank you for your generous support!!!

Dear #TeamBlackWidow friends and supporters,

Thank you so much for helping us meet our fundraising goal!!! We are so excited that we'll have the opportunity to go back to the field to study black widows next summer and we are so grateful to everyone who contributed. We truly appreciate your generosity and support for our research!

Now we would like to send you a token of our heartfelt thanks. The thank-you cards, stickers, buttons, and fridge magnets have been printed and we're getting ready to send them out. If you haven't yet responded to my message asking for your mailing address, it's not too late! And if you didn't get the message, my sincere apologies! Now is your chance to send your address and your #TeamBlackWidow swag preferences. Please contact me at catherine.scott [at] mail.utoronto.ca if you haven't been in touch with me already.   

Thanks again, and stay tuned for updates as we start planning next summer's field season!

Best wishes,

Catherine

About This Project

For a male black widow spider, life is a series of deadly challenges. He must first make a dangerous journey to find a female, then convince her to mate with him rather than cannibalize him before he can pass on his genetic material. At every stage, he will face fierce competition from rival males with the same agenda. In this project, we seek to understand how male black widows use chemicals produced by females and rivals to gain a competitive edge in the race to find and secure a mate.

Blast off!
