Hello all, I am happy that I have been able to send photos of our work in the field. We are now in southern Chile. Our team is composed of Dr. Charles Griswold who works on spiders. Our nickname for him is 'Pope of spiders.' Hannah Wood is a graduate student doing her thesis at UC Berkeley and she is working with Dr. Charles Griswold. We also have Professor Richardson from CSIRO in Australia. He is interested in the beetles from the canopy and also jumping spiders. Dr. William Shepards, is also a part of our team and is here collecting aquatic beetles. We also have undergraduate Chilean students Gabriela Urrutia and Carolina Holmqvist who are working with us on the arthropod collections. Erica Venavides, who is a park ranger, and Sergio Ocares, who is a parataxonomist, are also both in our team. Please ask us any questions you have about our pictures or travels. We would be glad to answer them. |
