Most of our research takes place in the Northern Range Mountains of Trinidad. Trinidad is a just a few miles off the coast of Venezuela and is home to a variety of ecological habitats including; tropical wet forests, mangrove swamps, savannas, and rocky and sandy beaches. Interns generally spend two and half to three weeks a month assisting with the mark-recapture experiments in our focal stream populations, helping graduate students, post-docs, and research scientists on independent projects.
Between recaps, interns are free to explore the diverse ecological communities and experience the culture of Trinidad.

Unlike many research experiences, we provide a stipend for travel to Trinidad, housing at the site and a modest monthly stipend to offset food costs while at the site.

When the core or associated scientists are at the site, they give weekly seminars aimed at introducing interns to the scientific questions being addressed on the project and the logic behind the experimental work being done. We also have many visiting scientists at the field site and encourage them to give research seminars on their research as well.
