Finally, that update to the rest of the work done this go-round in Trinidad. The project I was there to assist with seemed to be successful so far. Three predators were successfully introduced into three experimental pools in Arima RO (RO= rivulus only). Barriers were built to keep predators and rivulus from moving downstream. The sites will be revisited in a few months to follow up with the experiment. The experiment is looking at how predation affects the evolution of brain and eye size in the Rivulus. Pictures are below; credit to Shannon Beston for some of the photos. Also, I'm officially one week into my time as a PhD student!
