Common lizard research project in the Carnic Alps
pinned post!
You've heard of COW TOOLS, but did you know the Gail Valley is also home to an incredibly cool lizard hybrid zone? Here's a thread about our work on the Eurasian common lizard, Zootoca vivipara, and its egg-laying x live-bearing hybrids. (Thanks

Who's catching all these lizards? Meet the 2025 field team! It's a long season (May–September), so not everyone was there all at once, but here's most of us—including PI
@profkathrynelmer.bsky.social
and visiting ecophysiology collaborators,
@jflegalliard.bsky.social
and his PhD student Nicolas.

Interbreeding means overwintering controlled crosses in shared enclosures. This means that after catching lizards from the hybrid zone, the field team then had to care for them until they went into their enclosures, as well as incubate their eggs and care for the young. A lot of lizard husbandry!

We'll have some Actual Content soon, we promise -- but to get you started, check out Molly's thread from last year about what we're doing here:
add a skeleton here at some point

Hello world! We led a tour of the field site yesterday, and one of our guests was asking if we had social media. We didn't ... until now!
