Thank you so much to everyone that contributed to my campaign. I appreciate all of your generosity! I am working in Monteverde, Costa Rica collecting data until June 23rd. Then I will continue my work in the lab extracting DNA and running PCRs at the University of Utah.
I celebrated my successful campaign by cooking a delicious plate of fried plantains!
Thanks again for your support!

Epiphytes grow in the canopy of trees, deriving support from their hosts, but getting water and nutrients from rain and mist. They enhance nutrient and water cycles and provide resources to arboreal animals in forests, but their functions in human-altered habitats remain unknown. As conversion of forest to agricultural land in the tropics is increasing, I wish to examine the effects that pastures have on epiphyte population variability in the tropical landscapes of Costa Rica.
