@UGAEcology researchers recently released a study on the effects of high temperatures on monarch butterflies and their parasites. Although the heat limits parasite development, it also lowers the monarch's survival. 🦋

Herps play a vital role in ecosystems. They:
🐍 Serve as both predators & prey, contributing to balanced food chains & ecosystem processes
🦎 Can have high biomasses, helping pest control
🐢 Often serve as indicators of declines in habitat

Box Turtle Baby! 💚 Female Eastern Box Turtles don’t reproduce until age 7-10, so every new turtle is vital for sustaining the population. Hatchlings are only around 1 inch long when they first hatch, and some may overwinter in the nest before emerging!

DYK: The U.S. wild pig population has caused billions of dollars in economic damage over the last decade, in addition to damaging ecosystems.
However, recent research out of @UGASREL and @UGAWarnell has proven population control efforts effective.

Alligators have intrigued researchers at @UGAEcology and @UGASREL with their unconventional approach to determining sex through temperature.
Higher incubation temperatures, which develop male alligators, have exhibited higher survival rates.
