[ECOLOG-L] what controls bud burst in oaks?

2011-04-04 Thread Ecojobs Admin

Anyone here know what controls bud burst in oaks?  I assume there is some
kind of vernalization requirement, but can someone point me toward some more
specific info?  I'm (somewhat surprisingly) having a hard time finding
definitive info in my usual places.  

I'm mostly concerned about valley oaks (Quercus lobata) but would be
interested in more general info as well.  

Many thanks!

sites are located in Wyoming sagebrush, pinyon-juniper woodlands and 
mountain sagebrush communities across northwestern Nevada. Restoration 
projects are focused on wildlife habitat including Sage Grouse (endangered 
species candidate), mule deer, and a variety of non-game species. The 
vegetation and site data are used to help guide proper treatment design 
and to provide a baseline data set against which treatment effects may be 
measured. 

Duties: 
General field duties include walking long distances over uneven terrain, 
collecting GPS points, observing and monitoring wildlife, identifying 
vegetative demographics and distribution, collecting water samples and 
water quality data, and taking photo-points. The Project Lead will also 
coordinate with GBI Staff and the NDOW Lead for project planning, 
equipment organization and maintenance, vehicle coordination, field 
protocol and data QA/QC, and team deployment and supervision. The 
successful applicants must have strong communication skills (both verbal 
and written) and exhibit strong leadership and organization skills. Office 
tasks include data organization, processing and QA/QC; post-processing GPS 
points; utilizing GIS to edit polygons as well as point and line data; and

[ECOLOG-L] Costa Rica primate course announcement

2011-04-04 Thread Lorna S R Joachim

Please post this announcement on your website.

We still have spaces for the upcoming Primate Behavior and Ecology Course
taught in Costa Rica this summer.
Summer 2011: June 9th July 9th, 2011
(http://treefieldstudies.wordpress.com/courses/)

Course Instructor: Dr. Lorna Joachim

This month-long course is designed to teach undergraduate and graduate students the basic skills necessary to study
primate behavior in the wild. Throughout this course you will learn techniques in ecological and behavioral data
collection and complete an independent study on one of three primate species native to the area (Ateles geoffroyi, the
black handed spider monkey; Cebus capucinus, the white-faced capuchin; Alouatta palliata, the mantled howler
monkey).While our course cost may be a bit higher than some similar field courses we take pride in the fact that our
students have the advantage of doing work in two forests, learn Spanish, take a few fun field trips and help educate
local students.

This course will take place at two field sites. The first three weeks will be held at El Zota Biological Station, an
inland tropical wet forest site comprised of primary, secondary and regenerating forest. The last week will be held at
Tortuguero, a fragmented coastal lowland tropical forest comprised of riverine, palm and secondary forest areas
surrounded by the the canals of Rio Tortuguero and the Atlantic Ocean.

To encourage cooperation and collaboration with local Costa Rican scholars and students, a Spanish language instructor
will be on hand for Spanish lessons during the course. Participation in lessons is expected from all students.

In addition, we believe the generosity of the Costa Rican people should be rewarded for allowing us to work and visit
their country; therefore a portion of the course fee will cover the high school fees of local Costa Rican students.
The cost for high school is $150 dollars a year for a student in Costa Rica; however, many simply cannot afford this
rate. Our hope is that this connection will foster a relationship between the field school and local students,
encouraging them to work towards conservation in their own community.

Finally, we take a number of fun side trips in Costa Rica; which are hugely popular and a lot of fun. We have taken
students to visit cloud forests and coffee/chocolate plantations, white water rafting, zip-lining, sea-turtle
watching, and snorkeling.

Space is limited so contact us soon!

Course Fee: $2700 USD, excluding airfare and tuition at your university (if
taking for credit)

[ECOLOG-L] FWD: Ph.D. Opportunity: Urban Green Infrastructure and Ecosystem Services

2011-04-04 Thread Paige Warren

CONTACT PERSON FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY IS: JACK AHERN (see below)

Ph.D. Opportunity: Urban Green Infrastructure and Ecosystem Services

University of Massachusetts Amherst

Green infrastructure (GI) is understood and increasingly accepted  
internationally as an alternative to conventional urban  
infrastructure.  Theory supporting green infrastructure is evolving  
with a focus on the broad suite of ecosystem services putatively  
supported by GI that support urban sustainability and resilience  
goals.  In a holistic sustainability context, these GI-ecosystem  
services can be organized/classified according to the ABC resource  
model (abiotic, biotic and cultural) (Ahern 2007, 2010, Pauliet et al  
2011).  This model is helpful to maintain a broad and inclusive  
awareness of ecosystem services, not limited to the biophysical.  The  
identification and assessment of specific ecosystem services is  
arguably the greatest opportunity, and research challenge for  
continued development and application of urban green infrastructure.  
(Ahern 2007, 2010; Pauliet et al 2011)

Landscape ecology provides a foundation of applied principles,  
theories and methods for relating spatial patterns to ecological  
process, across a range of contexts.  This research program will focus  
on urban ecosystems and urban ecosystem services as provided by green  
infrastructure.  The research will collaborate with an ongoing  
interdisciplinary ULTRA research group focusing on the socio- ecological
drivers and consequences of landscape change in the Boston  
Metropolitan area.  Planning and design for urban infrastructure is a  
highly dynamic enterprise, requiring routine re-construction, and  
continuous adaptations to new regulations and technologies.  Research  
on bio, and ecological engineering is identifying new approaches at  
broad system levels as well as at project-scale designs for urban  
green infrastructure.  New and emerging ideas and practices in green  
infrastructure will require an adaptive approach, in which planning  
and design interventions and  safe-to-fail design experiments occur  
within a program of continuous/ongoing monitoring and adaptation  
(Ahern online; Kato and Ahern 2008).

This position is offering support for a new Ph.D. student at the  
University of Massachusetts, Department of Landscape Architecture and  
Regional Planning.  I am seeking a student with the research interests  
described and specific skills including:  very strong English language  
writing skills, graphic skills - including digital tools, GIS modeling  
and assessment, and a high level of self-motivation.  Interested  
persons are requested to reply with a 1000 word statement, including  
your research interests, academic background, research skills, and 2  
academic references. The position is open for enrollment in the fall  
of 2011.  A formal application process will require GRE,  
transcript(s), letters of reference and TOEFL (if not a native English  
speaker).
