I am a Spanish aquatic ecologist. In September-October 2004, I am lecturing a 1 month intensive postgraduate course on multivariate ordination methods applied to diversity research at the Mexican Research Institution ECOSUR (www.ecosur-qroo.mx).
For the latter course, I am gathering raw data sets from papers published in the international literature and on the topics each of my student is working which range from benthic ecology through forest succession to bird conservation. Now, one of my students is working on bat bioacoustics in the Yucatan Peninsula. I would like to enquire whether any bat researcher would be willing to lend some raw data set to be used during this course, so that my student can do some practical exercises on real data. If so, excel files are the ideal format, while please accompany the data set with a copy or, preferably if available, a pdf file of the paper in which the data was used. Data sets combining vocalization and environmental data would be the best to have. The data would indeed be used only for the academic purposes of the course and I will be happy to provide you with any further information about the course or you may wish to contact the ECOSUR postgraduate coordinator (Dr Sophie Calm�, [EMAIL PROTECTED]). Thanks in advance for your support. Kind regards, Salvador Herrando-P�rez MPhil. BSc.
