Pictures and News from the 2014 Alabama in Ecuador Tropical Plant Diversity class

Professor John Clark writes, concerning his Alabama in Ecuador Tropical Plant Diversity class:

“We completed a quantitative study of canopy trees in a recently established reserve (EcoMinga’s Rio Zunac).  Some highlights include the collection of three different species of Mangolia and significant range extensions of canopy tree species. Preliminary determinations suggest that we discovered at least four new species to science.”
