Urban Sampling: Bug and Diatom Group

Thursday we sampled all of our urban sites.  We were able to move fast through the urban sites because they were considerably easier to get to than the Camp Robinson sites, plus we had a chance to practice our methods at Camp Robinson, which helped speed things up.  We haven't had the chance to look through our urban samples, but at first glance there is an obvious difference in the invertebrate community between our urban and forested sites.  As of now our plan is to spend most of next week in the lab processing the data we have taken so far and then on Friday (Mar 9) we will go back to Camp Robinson and finish sampling Winifree Creek and the unnamed tributary.
