Once again, the trip has not has not been made yet by Bill Love, the person intended to gather the data. The data/pics you've seen are by someone that (at least to my knowledge) was not sponsored by this endeavor, but has been kind enough to share his findings.

Kurt,


Do you have any collected data, you can share in regards to U. phantasticus (similar to your post with the U. sikorae photo above).

A couple of U.phantasticus habitat shots would also be great.

This all sounds like a very very good idea, is it still going on?

As far as I am aware, it's all still dependent upon and waiting for Bill Love's next trip overseas.

Hmmm...I would hate to be the barer of bad news, but I just talked to Bill Love at show in Raleigh...I don't think that this is going to come to fruition.

I personally believe that if anyone is going to go to Madagascar in search of Uroplatus...they should be going their to retrieve tissue samples/GPS plots for genetic barcoding purposes. This is probably the only thing worth donating money towards at this point.

That's pretty lame. Bill got on board, so what's the deal? Is he not taking his ecotourist groups out to Madagascar anymore, or does he just not want to take the time and effort to gather a little UVB data?

I'm really wishing I was a geneticist now so I could pursue grants for travel there, because I'd be more than happy to take samples. I just don't have the knowledge or equipment in my lab to get into genetic analysis.

Bummer.
