COSTA RICAN ECOLOGY
Costa Rica
June 4 - July 2, 2017

ecological diversity in a relatively small area as

evolutionary development of many unique species
set in a constantly changing landscape. Students
in the Costa Rican Ecology Program will survey and
sample a variety of mammals while studying the
physical and cultural differences of the country from
sea level rain forests to high elevation cloud forests.

GROUP LEADER
Dr. David Ribble has experience
studying small mammals in South
Africa, Namibia, Tanzania, Mexico,
China, and most recently Costa
Rica. He has led students on study
away experiences in Tanzania and
China.
"My areas of teaching, both at the upper- and lower-division,
have been principally in ecology and evolution, which match
my academic background, research interests, and personal
convictions. In addition to fostering a sense of awe about
nature, I also try in my teaching to bridge the gap in
students thinking between scientific facts and how we come
to know those facts. "
