On Tuesday, I returned (finally!) to Puerto Rico to continue my research at the Cayo Santiago Biological Field Station.

On this trip, we hope to run some follow-up studies to studies from last summer’s trip. I hope to go over these in more detail in a future post. Last trip it was only Astrid and I, but this summer I will be working with Daniel Horschler, a graduate student from the University of Arizona. Our main project is one that we are collaborating on together and we’re both really excited about it! We will also have two research assistants coming down in another week.

That’s all I have time for today, but I will be trying my best (!!!) to keep this updated throughout the next few weeks. This summer presents a particular challenge because we need to drive an hour to get reliable Wi-Fi, so it has been a lot just to get the necessary work done each day (on top of field work). Hasta pronto!
