I’ve seen and posted about Norops oxylophus on other trips, including to Hitoy Cerere, where this one was, and RBAMB.

Underwater photography
John, an Austrailian visiting Las Cruces, set up his camera on a piece of bamboo to get some underwater shots of fish. There were a few good ones of characids investigating the camera. He intends on pioneering this method in stream ecology circles.

Dam along Río Java
The streams at Las Cruces are fairly impacted. There are a handful of smaller streams (1st-2nd order) that drain only secondary or primary forest, but most of the larger streams run through some abandoned pasture or have some sort of flow management impact like this one. My students are interested in water quality, so these impacts make for good gradients to survey.
