I've just completed a 3 month field season in the Napo basin in Ecuador. This year, we crammed a bunch of sampling into that short time, re-sampling stream communities for my annual sampling program, doing another round of the colonization experiment, and sampling for a new project I've started looking at how stream insects allocate their resources along a gradient of disturbance intensity and frequency.
I always love doing fieldwork, and it's especially awesome to return year after year to the same place to see how things change. Last year, it was amazing to see how landslides had changed our sampling sites, and this year it's been incredible to see the landscape start to recover.
