Subject: summer field ecology course, Nova Scotia
Space is still available for Villanova University's Field Ecology &
Evolution course
during summer school in 2001. We invite enrollment by qualified students
from colleges and
universities other than Villanova.
(Adequate preparation = a course in introductory ecology or equivalent
exposure to field observation and/or data gathering and analysis, or
even just a strong freshman biology background combined with sincere
interest in ecology or environmental science.)
! Please FORWARD this message to relevant students if you are able to do
so. Thanks!
** Online 'lecture' component (Biology 4451; 2 credits), 30 May - 27
June
This course will be offered in Distance Learning format; students will
not need to visit Villanova's campus to complete the lecture portion of
the course pair. The goal of this
component will be to familiarize students with the historical and
ecological biogeography and organismal natural history of the focal
region (Nova
Scotia), mainly in preparation for subsequent intensive field study (see
below). Work
will involve online 'lecture' coverage, discussion, and exams, along
with student essays based on ecological literature. For
more information, visit
http://oikos.villanova.edu/courses/~4451/M01home.html
** Field 'lab' component (Biology 4452, 2 credits): trip to Nova Scotia,
5-20 July 2001
The actual field course will begin at Villanova (suburb of Philadelphia)
on 5 July. From there, we will drive (using university vans) to
Portland, Maine, for auto ferry travel to Nova Scotia, where the bulk of
the course will take place.
The course will focus on natural history, ecology, conservation, and
management of ecosystems, organisms, and natural resources. Activities
will include group investigation of a variety of habitats and organisms
(both terrestrial and marine) in the region (including bird banding,
field use of GPS and GIS, whale watch), as well as individual student
projects and associated assignments (project proposal prior to the trip;
research report afterwards).
In addition to tuition, students will share the per-capita expense of
ferry passage, and food; accommodation will include tent camping, with
minimization of total cost a priority. More information about the trip
and anticipated cost to students is available at:
http://oikos.villanova.edu/courses/~4452/M01labbucks.html
We have prepared an on-line slide show from the last time we did the
course (summer 1995):

Instructors: R. L. Curry (ornithology, behavioral ecology, conservation
biology) and M. P. Russell (invertebrate zoology, evolutionary ecology).

Subject: Online database & discussion forum
Fellow researchers:
In order to facilitate searches for book chapters, working papers, conferenc
papers and other types of publications not commonly indexed, a few colleagu
s
and I have put together a researcher-controlled, online database that allow
you to enter in the details of any publications you might want others to kn
w
about and to control the search terms by which they are brought up. In effe
t,
it allows you to put your entire CV online, should you so desire. It also
provides for the possiblility of creating "bulletin boards" on any topics
worthy of discussion, as well as a few other functions such as various
statistics and the ability to link your publications to their references, e
c.
It's very much a work in progress and, thus, we would really appreciate any
comments or suggestions you might have to offer.
If any of you are interested, you can find it at www.getCITED.org. The datab
se
already has over 300,000 identities and 3,000,000 publications (mainly book
)
in it so don't be surprised if some of your publications and your identity
already exist. In any case, if you find the site useful, we would very much
appreciate you letting other researchers know about it.
Many thanks in advance...

Subject: Physics for Fun and Profit (washingtonpost.com)
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A6823-2001May9.html
Graduate education in the arts and sciences is a lot like the stock
market of early 2000: All the participants in the system know it has
deep flaws; things can't continue the way they have. But few people dare
to challenge what everyone else is doing. Besides, if you just ignore
the problems, there's always a chance they'll go away, right? America's
graduate schools -- by many measures still the best in the world -- are
not likely to implode like the Nasdaq. But a simple mismatch of supply
and demand is sending seismic ripples through the higher-ed system. In
the humanities, graduate programs keep enrolling students who have
almost no chance of getting jobs in their field when they emerge 6, 8 or
10 years later. Embittered students are affiliating with blue-collar
unions and demanding that they be treated like employees -- like the
dirt-cheap teachers they believe themselves to be.
Things are more complicated in the sciences. Because scientists have
technical skills industry wants, they face a softer landing if they lose
out in the academic job market, or decide teaching isn't for them.
Still, more and more people are asking why graduate education remains so
purely academic, when, according to the National Research Council, in
most science fields more than half of graduate students end up in
industry.

Subject: Fellowship Announcement
Dear Colleague:
I have enclosed an announcement for the John S. Eaton Fellowship in
Laboratory Sciences. I would be very appreciative if you would bring it to
the attention of qualified undergraduates, graduate students or colleagues.
This Fellowship was established in 1988 as a memorial to John S. Eaton,
Forest Ecologist and Laboratory Manager at the Institute of Ecosystem
Studies (IES). During his 25-year scientific career, John Eaton had primary
responsibility for both the chemical analysis of samples collected for the
Hubbard Brook Ecosystem Study (HBES) and the management of the HBES chemical
data set. He took on this responsibility with both meticulous care and
tremendous enthusiasm. It is our hope that the Eaton Fellow will not only
learn and/or develop methods in analytical chemistry, but might also
perpetuate the unique insight and values that John Eaton brought to
ecological science.
We feel strongly that scientists at all career levels - from aspiring to
distinguished - might benefit from this Fellowship; we are prepared to
tailor the program as well as the duration of the Fellowship accordingly.
Sincerely,
Kathleen C. Weathers, Chair
Eaton Fellowship Committee

JOHN S. EATON FELLOWSHIP
IN LABORATORY SCIENCES
The Institute of Ecosystem Studies (IES) seeks applicants for the John S.
Eaton Fellowship in Laboratory Sciences. The Eaton Fellow will spend up to
three months in the Institute's analytical laboratory doing research,
learning analytical techniques, and working with modern laboratory equipment
and Institute staff. Candidates must have a strong commitment to excellence
in research and a keen interest in the application of analytical methods in
chemistry to ecological questions. The actual program of the Eaton Fellow
will be tailored to the career goals, interest, and experience of the
individual selected.
There are occasionally scientists who, although they work as part of a
larger team, make solid contributions and periodic innovations that
consistently increase the quality of the results. Such are the contributions
that John S. Eaton's laboratory analyses made to the study of whole
ecosystems. Established in 1988, this endowed Fellowship seeks to pass on
to future generations of scientists the values, commitment, and perspective
that distinguished John S. Eaton's 25-year scientific career.
The Fellowship provides a travel allowance, housing on site, and a stipend
commensurate with the Fellow's experience and time needed to complete the
project agreed upon. Interested persons at all career levels are encouraged
to apply.
Individuals whose interests and goals are consistent with those noted above
should send a statement of interest, resume or curriculum vitae, and the
names of three references by 20 May 2001 to:

Subject: Field assistants still needed
FIELD ASSISTANTS NEEDED FOR HIGH ALPINE FIELD WORK IN SW COLORADO
The ongoing project to recover the endangered Uncompahgre fritillary
butterfly is again in need of volunteer field workers in the summer of
2001. Project dates are tentatively set for July 1 to August 15 and
volunteers who can commit to the entire period will be preferred.
Six to eight volunteer field assistants are needed to aid in the monitoring
and inventory of the endangered Uncompahgre fritillary butterfly in
mountainous southwest Colorado.
REQUIRED SKILLS:
All positions will require extended wilderness (low-impact) camping. The
work is physically and mentally demanding, requiring long and steep hikes
with heavy packs and extended periods at high elevations (10,000-14,000
ft.). Participants must competently self-sufficient in the backcountry for
up to 6 days at time. Obviously this also includes a lot of adventure,
incredible scenery, and good times.
Four monitoring assistants are needed for the most demanding and technical
jobs, collecting daily population data at remote high elevation sites.
Assistants will receive training in the necessary butterfly and plant
identification as well as techniques for line transect distance sampling.
Quantitative data collection will require careful observation and
meticulous recording. Camp will be situatated at timberline (1/2 - 3 mi
from road) and some camping may be done solo (although daily encounters
with hikers are the norm). Some butterfly/field biology experience will be
preferred for these postions.
An additional 2-4 assistants are needed for inventory crews that will work
in pairs visiting pre-selected alpine sites to search for Uncompahgre
fritillary colonies and map potential habitat. Training will include
butterfly and plant identification as well as techniques for collecting
descriptive data and mapping. These crews will spend most of their time
travelling on foot to access remote high elevation sites. Selected sites
wil be searched thoroughly for butterlfies, pertinent features (plant
composition, terrrain, etc.) recorded, and habitat mapped. Extended (6
days) backpack trips will be required and solid map reading skills are a
must.
BENEFITS:
Housing in Lake City, CO is provided when not in the field (including hot
shower and laundry). We typically spend 6 days/week in the field (i.e.,
camping).
A small stipend of $12/day covers food expenses.
Transporation to and from field sites will be provided, but volunteers are
responsible for transportation to nearby Gunnsion, CO (air and bus service
available from Denver).
Assistants will be respnsible for bringing their own gear and food. Large
backpack, day pack, sleeping bag, tent, stove, water purifier, rain gear,
warm and cold weather clothing, solid boots, etc. are required. However,
we may be able to coordinate the use of some shared items (tent, stove,
purifier) among the teams.
By volunteering you can make a _vital_ contribution to the conservation of
this extremely rare butterfly. Furthermore, several past volunteers have
successfully used this experience to advance their careers/studies in
conservation. Lastly, this field work is a lot of fun.
To apply, please send a cover letter and resume (with contact information
for three references) detailing your experience and motivation in regards
to wilderness skills, field biology, and conservation.
Applications can be sent electronically (plain text only) or by mail to the
address below. Application will be recieved until all positions are
filled. Please direct questions via email.

Subject: GC/IRGA procedure for estimating microbial-C
Greetings Ecologgers:
Up until now, I have been estimating microbial-C in forest soils using the
standard fumigation-incubation procedure, and estimating the CO2 flush using
NaOH as a base trap. Instead of using the base trap, I would like to measure
CO2 accumulation in the headspace of the incubation jar using an IRGA, or
possibly gas chromotography. I would appreciate any
references/opinions/experiences regarding this procedure. Mostly, I am
looking for a good procedure to use the technique successfully, and the
advantages/disadvantages of using gas analyzers vs. titration. I was also
wondering about the effects of CO2 accumulation in the incubation jar
atmosphere on microbial processes.
Thanks for the help.
Sincerely,
Matthew Warren

Subject: service learning
Has anyone on Ecolog used service learning in a high school
setting?
If so, please email me -- I'm working on a project about service
learning and am interested to talk with people who have first
hand experience. I'm curious what projects you did (ecological or
environmental ones in particular) and how the students responded.
I'd also be interested in hearing from college instructors who
used this approach but my writing project specifically deals with
high school service learning so am most interested in hearing
from teachers who have implemented such projects, or even parents
or nonprofits who have been involved in any role in a service
learning project or advisory role.
Thanks in advance!

Subject: data ownership
I would like to know whether we, as scientists, have any personal
claim over the data which we collect as part of our research programs.
As a graduate student, I am quite keenly interested in whether I have
some say in the numbers I write down--or if, since my work is funded by
a larger entity, the university has any grounds for exclusive control.
Clearly the situation will be quite different for government workers
and commercial researchers--or will it? I'd be interested in any
treatments of the legal and ethical rights of researchers, with a
(hopefully forgivable) bias towards graduate students. Do we have a say
in the fate of our data? Do we have any rights at all?

Subject: ANWR a red herring?
I have heard from a friend who follows environmental issues on Capitol Hill
closely that the issue of drilling in ANWR is a red herring. Specifically,
that opposition in congress to this move is so strong even from moderate
republicans that the idea is essentially dead in the water. Further the
Bush administration knows this and is now simply trying to use ANWR as a
bargaining chip to get other things it wants.
My friend stated that the environmental/convervation community should pay
attention to proposals to drill and mine in other highly fragile areas that
have recieved less fanfare. Further they should not be drawn into expending
resources on a high profile battle that is essentially already won, when
other areas are still very much in contention.
Thoughts?

If your research is funded using public funds, *check the conditions of
the grant award(s)*. A copy should be on file in the department in which
you're located. In my experience, the funding body (whether public or
private) held 'proprietory 'rights' to data collected in the course of
work performed under the grant and its use. But that may vary by agency,
educational institution, or researcher.

Subject: Re: data ownership
I'm sure academic institutions have written policies that answer the questio
of who owns the data, and they may not all be the same (just as not all
government agency policies are the same). My experience, having worked in
both government agencies and in private consulting, is that they who pay the
bills own the data. In the case of a public university, this would mean the
university (and ultimately the public) owns the data. I'm sure you'll
receive a variety of more definitive responses from others.

Subject: Re: ANWR a red herring?
I also have heard that this particular battle is "won." And I agree that
persons who want to protect fragile areas from damage by energy exploration
nd
development need to look broadly rather than narrowly, or many places may be
lost while they were looking at the few. Diligence is essential, in such a
war.
But, you know, over the years, many battles that had been "won" ended up los
.
I doubt that Dick Cheney is going to take his eye off of that "prize" in the
Arctic -- and he just might cop it for the energy companies while concerned
persons are looking the other way! I would say, keep up the diligence and k
ep
working on all fronts.
Do you trust these people not to act in nefarious ways to get what they want

I have also heard this, as well as a potential fight between President
Bush and his brother, Governor Jeb Bush of Florida, over oil drilling in
the Gulf of Mexico. Governor Bush has, to my knowledge, always opposed
drilling in the Gulf for environmental and (I think) tourist reasons. I'm
sure others on this list (especially Floridians) have more information on
this situation than I.

From: Kerry Woods <kwoods@BENNINGTON.EDU>
Subject: Re: data ownership
J.M. Aguiar asked if "scientists, have any personal
claim over the data which we collect as part of our research programs".
We have had some discussion of these and related questions in the
Professional Ethics Committee of ESA, so I'll offer some general response.
Our primary conclusion has been that the issue is complicated, and there are
tensions and potential conflicts that have yet to be fully resolved. There
are (partial) answers that emerge from strict legal considerations, from the
customs of the scientific community, and from the positions taken by
professional organizations and journals. Unfortunately, these answers are
not always entirely consistent with one another.
ESA, in its Code of Professional Ethics, says this, in reference to use of
data in publications:
"1. Researchers will claim authorship of a paper only if they have made a
substantial contribution. Authorship may legitimately be claimed if
researchers
a. conceived the ideas or experimental design;
b. participated actively in execution of the study;
c. analyzed and interpreted the data; or
d. wrote the manuscript.
..
4. Researchers will not submit for publication any manuscript containing
data they are not authorized to use. ESA assumes the principal
investigator(s) of a research project retain the right to control use of
resulting unpublished data unless otherwise specified by contract or
explicit agreement."
However, the Society's influence here is primarily moral; we can,
potentially, respond to violations of these principles in the Society's own
journals, but even here, the policing is not very active...
In legal terms, your rights to data you collect may well already be defined
by your agreement with whoever is paying you to do the data collection; if
you are paid through a grant or contract, the grantor/contractor may have
stipulated something; if you are employed by a university or college (and
the work is done as part of your job), your contract with the university
may give "ownership" of the data to the university. Whether these legal
"ownerships" are actually acted upon is another matter altogether. Many
academic researchers (in ecology anyhow) act as if they "own" "their" data,
and nobody gainsays them (usually). On the other hand, pressure is
increasing to have data from publicly funded research placed, pretty
quickly, in publicly accessible venues. Government employees are, usually,
in a different situation (their data going rather directly into public
domain). And so on.
Probably, in your case, the university DOES have some sort of legal control.
If you want the details, though, you'll probably have to go the legal folk
at your institution...

Subject: Re: ANWR and SEPU
FYI:
This very issue (Jeb Bush, George Bush, Gale Norton and drilling in
Florida) was written up in the last Science and Environmental Policy Update
(SEPU) published by the ESA public affairs office on May 4th.
You can read the whole SEPU, including the article on drilling in FLA, by
going on the ESA website to:
<<< http://esa.sdsc.edu/050401.htm >>>. Recent editions
ave included
updates on ANWR, the proposed federal budget and new presidential appointees
The SEPU is sent out every two weeks. We post it on our website and also
send it out via ESA's other listserver, ESANews. We don't post it to
Ecolog-L because some subscribers have expressed a desire to keep the two
lists separate.
If you read the SEPU and would like to subscribe (its free) you'll find
subscription directions at the bottom of the last edition. ESANews is a
one-way list; postings come from the ESA headquarters office only. In
addition to SEPUs, we also post press releases and action alerts.

Subject: How many fishes are there?
Ecologers,
Recently, I had a good discussion with my colleague about estimating number
of fish, and I would like to share with you. This quiz is good for your
students.
Here is the situation.
A group of researchers want to know how many salmons run up a river over a
season. To estimate, they set a gillnet twice a day for several hours and
counted the number of fish caught. The data looks like this:
Day period # of fish hours cpue
caught gillnet (#fish/hours)
was set
1 1 10 1 10
1 2 5 2 2.5
2 1 6 4 1.5
2 2 40 0.5 80
Based on the data total number of salmons over 2 days were estimated.
However, each researchers used different estimation methods.
Researcher A estimated
Total salmon = 24*(mean cpue for day 1)+ 24*(mean cpue for day 2)
= 24*[(10+2.5)/2]+24*[(1.5+80)/2] = 1128
Researcher B estimated
Total salmon = 24*(mean cpue for day 1)+ 24*(mean cpue for day 2)
= 24*[(10+5)/(1+2)]+24*[(6+40)/(4+0.5)] = 365.3
Researcher C estimated
Total salmon = 24*2*(mean cpue for 2 days)
= 24*2*[(10+5+6+40)/(1+2+4+0.5)] = 390.4
As you see, estimation differed widely.
Whose estimate is correct?

Subject: Re: data ownership
The answer to this will vary greatly among academic institutions, and
there also are differences among academic, governmental, and business
entities.
I can speak most knowledgeably about universities, some of which claim
rights to research data (even those collected in thesis or dissertation
research), some of which do not claim such rights under any
circumstances, and some of which claim rights only under some
circumstances. And the rights may be different for faculty, staff, and
students.
If the research was funded by a grant or contract from an agency
external to the university, then the university's agreement with that
agency--i.e., the conditions of the grant or contract--may specify data
ownership.
Each university really should have a written statement on these
matters.

I would like to know whether we, as scientists, have any personal
claim over the data which we collect as part of our research programs.
As a graduate student, I am quite keenly interested in whether I have
some say in the numbers I write down--or if, since my work is funded
by
a larger entity, the university has any grounds for exclusive control.
Clearly the situation will be quite different for government
workers
and commercial researchers--or will it? I'd be interested in any
treatments of the legal and ethical rights of researchers, with a
(hopefully forgivable) bias towards graduate students. Do we have a
say
in the fate of our data? Do we have any rights at all?

Intereste=ing quiz - though I see there have not been many takers yet!
Im sure none of them are "correct" but are they useful? Well, that depends
n
what the answer is being used for. If you are going to use it to set quotas
(high stakes decision), you don't have enough data but if that was all you h
d
and a decision was imperative, you could be conservative and go with B or C.
If
you are using it to decide how many tags you might have to buy in order to t
g
two days' catch (low stakes decision)...probably use researcher A's estimate
as
an upper bound.
Spend less time worrying about getting the "correct" answer and more about
getting resources that match the stakes then you will get the answer require
.
I'm interested in your answer to this quiz though!!

Andrew

Subject: How many fishes are there?
OK, it looks like it's up to the aussies to lead the charge.
Mathematically the first 2 estimates should be wrong, as they involve the
addition or averaging of averages that were not based on the same time
periods. The first estimate in particular is heavily weighted by one high
value.
Let me give you an analogy. Bus 1, 1 person weighing 150 kg, average 150 kg
per person. Bus 2, 10 people totalling 500 kg, average = 50 kg person.
Using the incorrect averaging of the average method, average weight per
person is (150 + 50)/2 = 100 kg.
The correct answer should be total weight/total people = 59.1 kg. For our
fish, it should be total fish/total measuring time = answer 3.

I received a request today from Allison Gillespie for this posting
Announcement of EPA/Science Advisory Board Workshop: "Understanding Pub=
lic
Values and Attitudes Related to Ecological Risk Management."
The Workshop is open to the public. Seating, however, is limited =
and
available on a registration basis. See attached flyer for brief
description.
Time and Location - The Workshop will be held on May 23-24, 2001 a=
t
the Academy for Educational Development, 1825 Connecticut Avenue, NW,
Washington, DC, Telephone 202-202-884-8000. Registration is from 8:30 =
-
9:00 am on May 23rd. The Workshop will begin at 9:00 am each day, endi=
ng
at 5:00 pm on May 23rd and no later than 12:15 pm on May 24th.
Purpose of the Workshop - To demonstrate how researchers using
different kinds of analytical methods, tools and approaches from the so=
cial
sciences can mutually inform each other and risk managers in understand=
ing:
(a) public values and attitudes related to specific threats to ecologic=
al
resources, such as a specific water body threatened with nitrogen
deposition and (b) the significance of those values.
The Workshop will focus on a particular waterbody, Tampa Bay Estua=
ry,
and will provide an opportunity for four researchers in the social scie=
nces
to address the following questions in terms that are relevant to and
readily comprehendible to Agency management:
Given that the state of knowledge about ecological and human healt=
h
effects of nitrogen deposition are fairly well known in the Tampa =
Bay
Estuary, (a) Why do people care about protecting waterbodies again=
st
current problems and preventing further nitrogen deposition? and (=
b)
How can EPA move beyond current economic considerations, per se, t=
o
identify and evaluate/measure why and how much people care about
protecting the resource?
Workshop Agenda - A written agenda is available on the SAB website=
(see below). The first day of Workshop will include an introduction
followed by four presentations of Research Plans commissioned on the
issue. These proposals would demonstrate how different social science
approaches (in the disciplines of anthropology, decision sciences,
economics, and social psychology) could help decision makers at EPA and=
outside understand values, attitudes and decision factors related to
protection of Tampa Bay against nitrogen deposition. There would be a
short time following each presentation for a facilitated discussion.
The morning of the second day will feature a panel of managers who=
will discuss their reactions to the expert presentations. They would f=
ocus
on the potential usefulness of the research proposals presented, whethe=
r
and how they add value to information currently available to decision
makers for making decisions, communicating decisions, and justifying
decisions about ecological risk management.

Millbrook, NY
Two full-time, year-round Research Assistants (RAs) are needed for a start
date of June 4th or 11th, 2001. The RAs will conduct field research under a
three-year grant from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
to support community-based intervention aimed at reducing the incidence of
Lyme disease in Dutchess County, NY. The RAs will be responsible for
installing and maintaining deer-feeders that are intended to reduce numbers
of ticks on the deer. They will also establish sampling transects and
sample the abundance of deer ticks in forests and residential areas.
Requirements for the positions include: (1) Bachelors degree in biological
or environmental sciences; (2) experience in field-related research; (3)
ability to work independently; (4) meticulousness; (5) use of a car or truck
for daily travel to field sites. Experience with wildlife, particularly
deer, or with arthropods is highly desirable.

I would appreciate it if you could post the following job listing:
The Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest is in need of one or two people to
do songbird surveys in potential project areas. The surveys would be a
combination of a walk-through of the forest stands, with scattered 3-minute
point counts, and playing of taped songs. The individual(s) would need to
be experienced in identification of various neotropical migrants by song.
Target species include cerulean warbler, Connecticut warbler, and
Swainson's thrush. The rate is negotiable but I am expecting somewhere in
the neighborhood of $2/acre, for approximately 1600 acres. If you are
