McGlynn CV, August 2008

Justin Betzelberger, RET participant

Justin is a biology teacher at East Valley High School in Van Nuys. He is working with Gilbert Lam to find out how food web structure responds to differences in nutrient limitation across the rainforest landscape.  This means picking lots of mites and springtails out of litter samples.

Gilbert Lam, undergraduate

This summer, under support of the NSF-IRES program in Tropical Ecology, Gilbert is working with Justin to examine the isotopic composition of litter arthropod tissue to understand their trophic position and how it responds to spatial variation in limiting nutrients.

Stefanie Mattingly, undergraduate

As her day job, Stefanie is a master of all thing cnidarian, and this summer she is supported by NSF-IRES to investigate odor cues for defensive behavior of ants experiencing army ant raids.  You can read about what she thinks about the rainforest throughout the summer.

Evan Poirson, undergraduate

Evan is returning to his 2nd field season in Costa Rica to investigate how litter decomposition responds to nutrient and faunal gradients in the rainforest.  He presented this work at the International Congress of Entomology in Durban, South Africa, in July.
