30 days of thermal exposure

Incubator at the University of Montana holding Lednia tumana nymphs at 1ºC

We didn't know how things would turn out, but happily, our long-term thermal exposure project outlasted our worst expectations! This week we celebrate the 30-day mark for testing survival in Lednia in the lab. Lednia have not only survived in our incubators but we have even managed to get flight performance data from ~15 individuals!
