Research Cenote in Mexico - Catching Isopods

Conducting research in a cenote involves working in a unique and sometimes challenging environment. Safety and ethical considerations are paramount.
Cenotes are sensitive ecosystems, and the isopod populations may be affected by various factors including climate and humans.
They are scavengers and feed on organic matter that enters the cenote, contributing to nutrient cycling.
Cenotes are vulnerable to environmental changes, pollution, and habitat destruction. Studying the organisms that inhabit cenotes, including isopods, can help in the conservation of these ecosystems by providing information about their ecological importance and sensitivity to environmental disturbances.
We join our new friend, Efrain, in his research on the many effects that these have on these little creatures.
