[ECOLOG-L] Cameras for monitoring insects

A colleague wants to know what cameras are available for monitoring insect movement (e.g., sphinx moth). Are there cameras available with enough sensitivity to pick up their movements even during the night without actually attracting them? Would something like a trail camera work? If you know,

Re: [ECOLOG-L] Take the Train to ESA Minneapolis

Hello Ecologgers, There is quite an interesting discussion in response to my post about taking the train to ESA, so I thought I would chime in. Paul is 100% correct, taking the train to ESA will have no mathematical impact on climate change. In fact, nothing that any one of us changes in our

Re: [ECOLOG-L] Metal Detector

I use a metal detector to find tags for plants in a demography study. The tags are cut from aluminum beverage cans, about 3x6cm, held in the ground with a 16d nail (about 8 cm long). Pocket gophers sometimes bury the tags, and I can detect them down to a depth of about 12-15cm. My metal

Re: [ECOLOG-L] Take the Train to ESA Minneapolis

So then, why take the train to ESA? 1. Reduce the carbon footprint of science. Not realistically possible. You're a student now, but when you enter the working world - either in private industry or academia - there is a very high probability your position will require you to travel by air

Re: [ECOLOG-L] Take the Train to ESA Minneapolis

Paul- I think you have this upside down in a few ways. Taking the train actually increases productivity. For example, I often take the train from Portland to Seattle - it is a 4 hour train ride, or a 3 hour drive, but those 3 hours are completely lost to productivity (except random

Re: [ECOLOG-L] Metal Detector

I agree with David that horizontal would be better, but you might check with utility companies which use antennae cut to a precise frequency used to mark the location of underground utilities. Many years ago I talked a local gas electric company into donating a few to identify the ends of a
