Katherine Hotze of Stockton, IL participated in a Summer J-Term trip to Costa Rica.

The lowland tropical rainforest of Costa Rica is home to a diverse assemblage of life forms. This study tour was designed for nature lovers who want to explore the jungle to learn more about diversity. Behavior was examined from both the neuroscience and evolution perspective. Biodiversity field surveys - plants, insects, amphibians, birds, and more - gave way to short-term, student-designed field studies in the rainforest.
