[ECOLOG-L] Costa Rica Study Abroad Ecology Program

[Scott Connelly]

The University of Georgia is pleased to offer its thirteenth annual Costa
Rica Tropical Ecology Program, based at our campus in San Luis de
Monteverde, Costa Rica.  We are currently inviting participation by
interested students at colleges and universities throughout the U.S. 
Ecology Laboratory (3000 level) and Ecology Research (4000 level) courses
are offered, and the program will run from May 16 – June 8, 2011.

This interdisciplinary program involves the study of tropical environments,
their natural history, and their people.  The approach is intensive,
challenging, and hands-on, with an emphasis on building skills of
observation, analysis, and critical thinking and learning to apply those
skills in carrying out original research in the field.  Students live and
work at field stations in a variety of tropical habitats, including lowland
rain forest, coastal and marine sites, and cloud forest habitats. 
   
Applications are welcome from students at all accredited U.S. institutions.
 Students from outside of Georgia will receive in-state tuition. 
Participants must have completed one year of introductory biology or the AP
equivalent, and must be in good academic standing at their home institution.
  No Spanish background is required; the courses are taught in English by
University of Georgia faculty members. 
 
The program cost is $3000, which covers all in-country lodging, meals, and
activities (airfare is not included).  For further information on the
program, including help with arranging credit transfer and possible
financial assistance, please contact Scott Connelly (scott...@uga.edu) or

(Ochotona princeps) in the Carson Range, NV. Pika, herbivorous relatives of
rabbits and hares, typically live in rocky, talus slopes, often near
highland meadows. They are considered a species of conservation concern
because of their isolated distribution in Nevada and because populations are
thought to be declining, perhaps due to global climate change. Findings of
this study will inform current population status in the study region of
west-central Nevada. The Field Technician will work with an assistant to
conduct surveys for pika and their sign, and assess habitat characteristics,
including vegetation and thermal features, using standard methods. The field
crew may also have opportunities to participate in other ongoing studies of
small mammals and birds in the vicinity. The Field Technician should be
capable of working long hours in remote, rugged, uneven terrain, in which
daily weather conditions may range widely.

pika and other small mammals of the Sierra Nevada, and associated natural
resource issues;
o   Experience in plant identification and vegetation assessment preferred;
o   Ability to use a GPS unit and standard methods and equipment for habitat
characterization.

Additional requirements:
o   Possess a valid, state-issued driver’s license and clean driving record;

a
team to accomplish mutual goals; 
o   Possess strong organizational and leadership skills;
o   Ability to work in variable weather conditions, traverse steep and 
uneven
terrain, carry upwards of 20 pounds in a backpack, and otherwise maintain

JOB DESCRIPTION
The University of Colorado-Boulder is hiring two field technicians to 
implement a survey of the American pika within Rocky Mountain National 
Park and Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve (Colorado). 
Technicians will use GPS units, compass and topographic maps to locate 
remote study plots scattered in rugged terrain, and will record data on 
pika presence/absence and habitat characteristics within each plot. 
Training will be provided. These are temporary positions anticipated to 
begin July 11 and end September 2 (2011), including all weekdays and most 
weekends during this period. Applicants must be available for the entire 
period.

RESPONSIBILITIES
Learn and implement National Park Service protocols for pika habitat 
occupancy surveys, including the following activities. Field data 
collection (90% of time, essential): Document and map detection/non-
detection of pikas by sight and sound, as well as detection of pika fecal 
pellets and pika food stores. Record data on habitat characteristics 
including the relative cover of different classes of vegetation. Collect 
pika fecal pellet samples within plots and enroute between plots. Field 
work will be conducted in remote locations, and technicians will work 
alone for some portion of almost every day. Accessing research plots will 
require extensive travel time, including travel by car and on foot over 
rugged terrain. Data processing and equipment maintenance (10% of time, 
essential): Enter raw data into electronic spreadsheets for subsequent 
analysis. Assist with equipment maintenance and mapping projects. 
Coordinate field work and data entry with co-worker(s). Perform additional 
duties as assigned.

Access
•Experience identifying animals and their sign in the field
•Experience with GPS units and GIS software
•Basic First Aid and CPR certification
•Familiarity with leave-no-trace methods

BACKGROUND AND RELATIONSHIP TO PROJECT OBJECTIVES
The American pika is considered an indicator species for detecting 
ecological effects of climate change. Recent studies implicate climate as 
a driver of pika losses. The National Park Service has a unique 
opportunity to assess the pika’s vulnerability to climate change, and to 
predict effects of climate on pikas over time. Parks in the Rocky Mountain 
Network encompass a variety of pika habitats and are among eight NPS units 
included in a three-year "Multi-Regional Vulnerability Assessment" the 
species. Vulnerability will be assessed by determining which habitats 
pikas prefer, how frequently they move through different habitats, and how 
the distribution and connectivity of preferred habitats is expected to 
change in a changing climate. Duties of the field technicians hired for 
this specific position are associated with documenting patterns of pika 
occurrence and habitat preferences only within Rocky Mountain National 
Park and Great Sand Dunes National Park & Preserve.

COMPENSATION
Stipend of $4,000.00 (USD) plus modest food allowance.

APPLICATION PROCESS
Apply electronically before April 18, 2011, by sending the following

[ECOLOG-L] Government tightens lid on dolphin death probe

[Michael Clary]

Excerpted from  
http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/03/25/us-dolphins-gulf-idUSTRE72O3JO20110325


Wildlife biologists contracted by the National Marine Fisheries Service to 
document spikes in dolphin mortality and to collect specimens and tissue 
samples for the agency were quietly ordered late last month to keep their 
findings confidential.

The gag order was contained in an agency letter informing outside scientists 
that its review of the dolphin die-off, classified as an "unusual mortality 
event (UME)," had been folded into a federal criminal investigation launched 
last summer into the oil spill.

Re: [ECOLOG-L] Community Analysis Hypothesis Tests

[Manuel Spínola]

Hi Travis,

I don't think that a p-value is going to tell you if there is a 
biological meaningful difference between community.


What will be the metrics that you are planning to use with ANOSIM ?

Without seeing the data I can tell you that there is a difference 
between communities, but the important question is how different they 
are, so you can assess a practical or biological significance and a 
p-value is not going to tell you that.


Best,

Manuel
