Kat’s first post was so popular here’s a quiz she wrote for you all on insect identification: Sometimes I find crazy, exciting stuff when looking through P. erhardii stomach contents (see the bottlebrush tick and pseudoscorpion from the last post!). More often than not, however, I find myself looking at variations on a theme: clusters of … More Pop Quiz: Insect ID
Hi, Kat here! Colin’s made me entomologist in chief of the lizard gang. For my senior thesis, I’m focusing on the insect aspect of Colin’s project. The main thrust of my thesis is comparing the available prey community of P. erhardii to the diet composition of the lizard. As Colin described in a previous blog … More Guest Post: Bugs and Lizard Vomit
And finally, Kat’s conclusion of the Environmental Studies Fellowship presentation. Thank you very much to the Environmental Studies undergraduate summer fellowship for their support.
And here’s Zach’s part two of the three-part presentation for the Yale Environmental Studies department.
The Environmental Studies office here at Yale provided a bunch of support for Angus, Zach, and Kat this summer. In return, they were asked to give a two minute, one slide presentation on their work and project. I apologize for the mediocre iPhone quality video but give the videos a look, they did a great … More Environmental Studies Presentations Part 1: Angus

One of the main events we enjoyed was watching the Bald Eagles nesting in the massive pines along the water. Here’s an action sequence … More Eagles on the Mira River
Hi Everyone! Whew, it’s been a full month off of writing, sorry about that, but after all of the planning for that field season, followed by the intense 10 weeks in Greece, I needed a real break to recharge my batteries before diving into this school year. Well, the break was a bit of a break from school … More Back in action
I promised you in the beginning of the summer a movie of how to set up those kayaks. Well, here it is. We got a lot of practice over the summer. This assembly took us a little less than 3 and a half minutes! I sped it up a bit for effect. I can’t wait … More Setting up our Oru Kayaks
So last post I had a series of pictures from inside of Mt. Zas. This time, the pictures were taken from on top! Again, these are long exposure pictures. I think a film analogy is actually easiest to illustrate the principle: the longer the camera is left “open” the more light hits the film (or … More Star Shots on Mt. Zas
