Thank you!

I wanted to reach out and thank all of you again.  Working with Experiment has been an amazing experience.  I am touched by all the support I have received, and that you all believe in my research too.

Because of you, I am able to fully fund one full field season, including research supplies.  I am meeting with my advisor tomorrow morning to hash out a solid plan and project details.  My field season will take place sometime next year.  I shall keep you all posted and be sure to post plenty of pictures from the rainforest.  Below are some of the beasts I look forward to working with!

About This Project

There are 40,000+ species of spider in the world. Spiders are beneficial predators & an integral part of a healthy ecosystem. My goal is to find out if there is a quantifiable relationship between morphology and foraging behavior of spiders. Based on preliminary research I conducted in the Ecuadorian Amazon, it seems the answer is yes! The more we understand about these animals, the more we can protect rainforest ecosystems as a whole.
Blast off!
