Perform a much-needed scientific evaluation on the dynamics of the canopy-aquatic insects and other fauna of natural tree holes (phytotelmata) and their artificial analogues. Project explores how insects in tree holes are active colonizers trapped in a risky, mostly ephemeral habitat, and, along with other fauna, play a significant role in the ecosystem functioning in the forest canopy.

Strategic Direction: 2 Improve the conservation of globally threatened species through systematic conservation planning and action
