This snorkeling site was really deep so there wasn't too many cool fish stuff, but we did see some sharks and rays. Then after playing for over an hour we went off to kicker rock. Then they would swim rigth at your face and you would be worried they were going to collide into you and then they would take off in another direction. We got to play with the sea lions which was one of the happiest things in the world. it is like a little nursery for them while mama goes and hunts. and isla lobo there were tonssssssssssssss of baby sea lions. įor our fun day we went to isla lobo and leon dormiendo/kicker rock.
My prof kicked me during the exam (on accident when diving down) and there were people wearing thong bikinis on the beach as well and those two things don't happen too often during an exam. but it was fun snorkeling for the field exam. there were bigger schools over sandy and were more often found on the surface (plankton?) But we did find a lot of other significant differences like size of schools, and were they were located in the water column. We did it at two different beaches and there was a signficant different at one beach, but not the other. We hypothesized that there would be more schools over sandy substrate because it is harder to find food there (less niches because lots of stuff can grow in rocks) and also because there are fewer places to hide over sandy substrate. We studied schooling behavior over sandy and rocky substrate. After our 8 day cruise we returned to San Cristobal and had to do mini group projects much like we did in the rainforest. I'll just finish up a little on the Galapagos, but I'll make it shorter and sweeter. On may 24 my friend jean and i are going to ARGENTINA i don't think we have time to go to machu pichu (or dinero) this time through but we still might visit cusco. Tomorrow morning I'm leaving here at 4:30 am to get to the airport to fly to Lima Peru. and I got pretty good at rummy and I enjoyed beating the boys everyonce in awhile.

I also learned how to play rummy and cuarenta. When it was a smaller group it was usally ok. I tried being apart of this and even though my spanish has improved it is difficult to speak and understand when it is a larger group of people. All of the Ecuadorians (all guys pretty much from ages 18-24 and one women 27 w/ a baby) were already friends and joked around all the time. Yanayacu was a really beautiful place but I had a difficult itme there because for 90% of the time I was the only English speaker. This stuff is way cooler to tell w/pictures and it takes FOREVER to upload them on here so i will eave it at that for now. some made it, some weren't as fortunate (actually if they make it into the lab they all die :( ) then there are some.actually around 60% that are killed by parasitoids Then we would enter data on the lil buggers and try to make them adults. We'd do transects to find caterpillars or just look for them on the side of the rode OR beat bamboo with sticks. A parasitod is a organism that spends part of its life on or attached to a host and eventually kills its host. There are about 1,200 species of Caterpillars that they have collected. Wilmer has been working on the project for about 5 years I believe. I helped collect caterpillas essentially with the gusaneros: Wilmer and Lucho. It is a called: Caterpillars and Parasitoids of the Eastern Andes. While I was there I helped on a project that was started by a man named Lee Dyer about 8 years ago. I went to the opposite side of the country as everyone in my group and went to Yanayacu Biological Station and Center for Creative Studies - if you'd like to checker out. After our Galpageno adventures we all headed off on our own to do internships.
