The Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory has a rare opening for an
undergraduate to conduct a mentored independent research project
studying white-crowned sparrows. This research is part of a
continuing, long-term investigation into the life histories of
mountain white-crowned sparrows (Zonotrichia leucophrys oriantha).
This project aims to elucidate relationships between the immune
system and ectoparasite load with reproduction and growth in wild
birds under different conditions of food availability.
Approximately 35 undergraduates conduct 10 week independent research
projects at our field station each summer. Our education program has
2 spots remaining, including a mentored project involving the
handling and study of birds in their natural environment(!) For more
information, visit our website at <http://rmbl.org>rmbl.org Students
interested in applying should fill out the online application and
contact the Science Director at sd at <http://rmbl.org>rmbl.org
