Subject: audio playback speakers for target netting
Dear All,
I need a recommendation or contact for someone
who can help me find some field equipment for doing audio playback. My old
Logitech speaker is no longer working nor is the model available anymore. I
have had no luck doing an internet search. I need a recommendation for
model(s) of speakers that are excellent for audio playback using an Mp3
player outdoors. We are target netting willow warblers in the high open
mountain birch forests of northern Sweden. Often we hike great
distances, so they need to be packable and lightweight. We need
something portable, loud (often trapping in open windy areas), good
sound quality, durable, and semi water proof (not necessary but
preferable). These speakers should also be readily available over the
internet or telephone to purchase as I need them in two weeks!
Thank you for your advice!
Many Cheers,
Keith

Subject: Graduate student opportunity: University of Alberta
A MSc or PhD opportunity is available for research on the role of plant
growth and biomass (root/shoot ratio) in tolerance and resistance of
aspen against its primary pests, Forest Tent Caterpillar and the Aspen
Leaf Miner, in western Canada. We are particularly interested in
investigating the chemical (defensive compounds) and physiological
mechanisms of tolerance and resistance, and how these mechanisms are
influenced by plant growing conditions.
This is a joint MSc or PhD program between Drs. Simon Landhausser,
Industrial Chair and Professor of Silviculture and Forest Ecology, and
Nadir Erbilgin, Canada Research Chair and Assistant Professor in Forest
Entomology, at the University of Alberta, Department of Renewable
Resources (http://www.ales.ualberta.ca/rr/). Depending on the interest
and quality of the MSc or PhD applicants, the project offers
considerable flexibility in designing a research program that
investigates areas of personal interest, such as plant-insect
interaction and chemical ecology, within the overall framework of the
project.
Background in ecology, entomology, chemical ecology, or a related field
is essential, as is an interest in the linkages between trees and
insects. Experience with any of the following will be an asset, but is
not required: plant-insect interactions, chemical ecology, forest
ecology, and silviculture. Proficiency in spoken and written English is
a necessity.
Selection of a student will be based on academic achievements, reference
letters and previous research experience. Strong verbal, written, and
computational skills are essential. Tuition and fees and a standard
Graduate Assistantship can be offered. Students are also eligible for
Tri-Council graduate scholarships (e.g. NSERC) in their first year.
The laboratory and field works will start in May 2009. The candidate is
expected to start in September 2009. The applicant must meet the
entrance requirement for The University of Alberta, Department of
Renewable Resources, which can be viewed at:
