GeckoWatch is a community science project that aims to map the fine-scale distribution of nonnative geckos in the continental United States. The project is an outgrowth of a collaborative effort by the Espinoza and Jeanne Robertson labs (CSUN), Aaron Bauer (Villanova University), Heather Liwanag (California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo), and Greg Pauly (Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County) to examine what factors are allowing the Mediterranean House Gecko to be such a successful and rapidly-expanding colonizer. Click here to learn more about GeckoWatch.
