Adriana Bravo: Project Update: May 2008

On May 10, we finished sampling bats on our three sites along the Los Amigos River in the Concession. I was a great field season! We have caught over 600 bats.

The last week of sampling, however, there was a cold front in the area (Patagonian cold winds reaching the southeastern Peruvian Amazon!). Therefore, we had really cold days (minimum temperatures falling to ~13 C) and bats' activity was very slow. So, we had to wait a little bit to let the bats to warm up again and sample. But besides that little change in the environment everything was great. Now, I am going to a meeting in Suriname to present some results.
