Subject: 'Retrospective control plots' - reference(s) needed
Dear Ecologgers,
We have been attempting to assess the effects of weeding alien plants and
fencing out introduced deer and pigs on various taxa of native organisms
(plants, birds, butterflies & snails) in Mauritius. Several such plots have
been established in Mauritius since 1987. Unfortunately no baseline surveys
were carried out in the treated areas and in appropriate control plots. We
now comparing densities of study species in the managed plots with control
plots established several years after management was first carried out. We
are then using these data to build up a picture of changes in the relative
abundance of study taxa over time since management began. We are acting on
the assumption that densities of the study species were equivalent in
treatment & control plots at the time of first weeding & fencing. Clearly
this assumption cannot be validated so I would not claim that our data were
anything close to watertight!!!
I am looking for a publication that refers to the type of approach we are
using and points out the (fairly obvious) flaws. Does anybody know of such a
publication?
Thanks in advance
John

Subject: Re: Story on Bullets, Environment
The army is indeed developing leadless bullets to be used on training
ranges. These bullets are made of a variety of things usually including
tungsten and plastics that are compressed together into the shape of the
bullet. These new bullets react the same way when fired and are less
hazardous to the environment. However they are much more expensive. This
technology is also available in the private sector. Several major
ammunition companies have developed similar rounds that are used in birdshot
especially duck shot. I have just moved offices and things are in a mess or
I would also include websites. You can find more by searching the "United
States Army Environmental Center" website at www.aec.army.mil and follow the
links from there.

Dr. Julie Whitbeck of UNO's Biology Department is seeking summer
research assistants for root ecology work. This research focuses on
root production and distribution in bottomland hardwood forest. Most
of the work involves processing and sorting roots from
field-collected soil cores, and the work is located at UNO; monthly

southeastern Minnesota, and northern Wisconsin. Daily duties
include conducting point counts, marking point locations, data
entry, and vegetation sampling.
Qualified applicants must be able to identify Midwestern birds by
sound and sight and have excellent hearing. Applicants must pass
a standardized bird song test and a hearing test. Other
requirements include: the physical ability and desire to work long
hours alone in the field, a high tolerance for biting bugs
(mosquitoes and black flies), orienteering experience, and a
driver's license. Some sites are located in rugged, remote, and
sometimes unpleasant wet spots.
$2,000/mo.+ per diem; housing, transportation, equipment, and
training provided. Send letter of interest, resume and names,

COOPERATIVE WILDLIFE RESEARCH LABORATORY, SOUTHERN ILLINOIS UNIVERSITY
GRADUATE RESEARCH ASSISTANTSHIPS, 1 M.S. AND 1 Ph.D
RESEARCH TOPIC: Distribution, density, and dispersal characteristics of
beaver populations in Illinois.
The Cooperative Wildlife Research Laboratory, Southern Illinois University
at Carbondale, is inviting applications for 2 Graduate Research
Assistantships beginning June or July 2001. Assistantships are on a
12-month basis and pay $1,092/month plus full tuition waiver and support for
research activities. For more information about our graduate program,
please see our home page: http://www.siu.edu/~wildlife
Successful M.S. applicant will conduct research on beaver distribution and
population densities in Illinois. Objectives of the project are to: (1)
determine potential beaver habitat in different land use regions of
Illinois, (2) determine current occupancy rates and estimate densities, and
(3) develop a predictive model of habitat occupancy. Research will involve
conducting aerial and ground surveys of watersheds and use of GIS to develop
occupancy models. Successful student will merge existing occupancy survey
data into project objectives. Potential exists to be involved with other
field aspects of project if interested.
Successful Ph.D applicant will be involved with aspects of the above and
will have the opportunity to develop a research plan examining beaver
dispersal patterns, the effects of density on beaver dispersal, and survival
rates of marked animals. Field work will include live-trapping beavers,
surgical implantation of radiotransmitters, and ground and aerial
radiotelemetry. For more information contact Dr. John McDonald
(jem1@siu.edu).
Degree and qualifications: Graduate studies will lead to either a M.S. or
Ph.D degree in zoology (with emphasis in Wildlife Ecology) at Southern
Illinois University. Competitive GPA and GRE scores are required; combined
verbal and quantitative GRE scores must be >1,100 to be considered. M.S.
applicants must have completed Bachelor's degree in Wildlife Ecology,
Zoology, or a related field. Ph.D applicants must have completed Master's
degree. For both positions applicants should be interested in applied
wildlife ecology, have background or strong interest in use of GIS, and be
comfortable flying in helicopters and small fixed-wing airplanes. Ph.D
applicants especially should be comfortable working independently in the
field and have experience or strong desire to learn trapping techniques.
Application: Provide a letter or interest that includes brief biographical
sketch and career goals, a resume, GRE scores, and GPA. Application packets
will be provided to candidates selected for further consideration. Mail,

Subject: Plant Community Ecologist sought
Position Announcement:
The Nature Conservancy is seeking a plant community ecologist interested in
conducting a study to determine:
1. The efficicacy of Apthona flea beetles in controlling leafy spurge
(Euphorbia esula)
2. The impacts of this biocontrol method on native plant communities
3. The abiotic and biotic conditions underwhich this biocontrol method is mo
t
effective
Currently we have financial support for two field seasons of what we expect
o
be a five year study. The study sites are in eastern South Dakota, eastern
North Dakota, western Minnesota, and possibly in northwestern Iowa. The wor
will start in late April and continue through much of September, although we
can be flexible on these dates.
What we would like from you:
A. Excellent plant taxonomy skills
B. Experience in prairie systems and with prairie plant species
C. Experimental design and statistical analysis skills and a willingness to
develop valid and efficient methods with a group of advisors already working
on this project
D. Experience collecting voucher specimens
E. Attention to detail
F. Willingness to travel, possibly in personal vehicle
What we can provide:
A. Support for two field seasons of work (2001 and 2002).
B. Housing in Clear Lake, South Dakota
C. A mentor from The Nature Conservancy in Clear Lake (the land steward who
initiated the biocontrol program in this area), a mentor from The Nature
Conservancy in Minneapolis (a PhD scientist who coordinates the conservation
science program for the Minnesota chapter; and the opportunity to work with
top invasive weed specialists from The Nature Conservancy and other
organizations.
D. Opportunity to be part of a study which we expect to publish in a peer
reviewed journal upon completion.
If you're interested, please send a cover letter and resume to Jenny Brown,

Ere he departed for the Great Army Camp In The Sky, Private Smith
was consoled and comforted by the knowledge that somewhere in his vitals,
or in the dust beyond him, lay a tungsten-and-plastic bullet instead of the
kind made of lead prone to accumulate up the food chain, the dangerous kind
