Hello all - thank you for your support during a great first week! We have added a video explanation for the project, accessible from the main project page.
As always, feel free to ask us any questions via the discussion page. And if you like our work, please help us get the word out by sharing this link: https://experiment.com/turtle-climate-change-genes.
Thank you!

Climate change is expected to have impacts on biodiversity worldwide. Many species will be faced with a choice: move to track shifting climate conditions, or try to adapt to shifting conditions. But what about animals that are poor dispersers, such as turtles? Our aim is to investigate this question using two turtle species in Wisconsin. By using genomic methods and existing genetic data, we hope to determine if turtles have enough variation in adaptive genes to respond to climate change.
