Hunting for Caterpillars in the Andes
Caterpillars in Ecuador and elsewhere have a variety of strategies designed to break through plant defenses and protect against parasites and predators. At Yanayacu, Pascal Rochette (Deschambault, Canada) and Donna Schneider (Cleveland, Ohio, USA) will help study how the survival strategies of caterpillars, plants, and parasites are affected by a changing climate. July 18-28
