Currently (as of March 1998), the field camp in Camoudi and insect laboratory at Mabura Hill are functional. All pilot studies have been completed. The training of Guyanese staff is in progress. Insect monitoring (i.e., insect collecting at the 250 stations) in the unlogged plot started in September 1996 and was ended in September 1997. Thus, we are the proud owner of one year of data collected in the unlogged Block 17 ("Prior Logging"). Selective felling in the plot was performed in October 1997, and insects were also collected from the crown of mature trees on these occasions ("Logging"). We have recently re-started our insect monitoring in the logged plot ("After Logging"). Although the taxonomic study of the material collected is not a priority in this study (but is available for examination), a provisory list of insect species collected on the seedlings is detailed ("Insect Species List").
