During
June 20-29 2004, Dr. Mike Dorcas, J.D. Willson, Joy Hester, and
Bill Johnson traveled to Tortuguero, Costa Rica in seach of herpetofauna.
The group also kept a list of all tetropods encountered. This trip
occurred during the beginning of the rainy season and the weather
behaved accordingly - the first few days were sunny, then came periodic
heavy rains. Trip planning and coordination was facilitated by the
Carerras family of San Jose, who have a strong interest in the conservation
of Tortuguero. Carlos Carerras (Davidson Class of 2002) accompanied
the group to Tortuguero for a few days. Funding was provied by the
Dean Rusk Internation Program and a Faculty Research Grant to M.
Dorcas. |
