Subject: Alkaloids in Mandrake
Hello all,
I am giving a lecture on applied chemical ecology and would like to
discuss a bit about how plant secondary chemistry has promoted myth and
legend, and how that, in turn, has led to the development of drugs. An
example that I would like to discuss is that of mandrake (Mandragora spp.,
Podophyllum spp.) for which there are references in anything from medieval
medicine treatises, through the Bible, to Egyptian, Chinese, and Native
American folklore and medicine (along with some pretty creepy rituals and
beliefs). Various alkaloids are known from these Solanaceae (e.g.,
scopolamine, atropine, apotropine, hyoscyamine, hyoscine, cuscohygrine,
solandrine and mandragorine) and some are sold commercially as anesthetics,
sedatives, stimulants or as patches to prevent motion sickness.
I have much information on the folkloric and on the biomedical/molecular
aspects of the compounds. What I can't seem to find is information on the
natural roles of these compounds in mandrake. I know the alkaloids are
found in other members of the Solanaceae and much ecology has been done on
plant alkaloids in general (i.e., as defenses against pathogens, herbivores,
etc.) Can someone suggest any works on the chemical ecology of mandrake in
specific? I will also welcome suggestions on works that have looked at the
chemical ecology of any of the alkaloids mentioned above.
Sincerely,
Edwin

Hi Edwin (and others),
While I don't have specific information, it would be reasonable to
suspect that the acetylcholine blocking action of the tropane
alkaloids found in solanaceous plants would have a profound impact on
neuromuscular function of predators.
Also, Podophyllum is a member of the barberry family and not at all
related to the Solanaceous mandrakes. (Don'tcha just love common
names?).
I'd be interested in seeing other responses to your interesting question.

AUSTIN, Tex. - On a recent morning, Dr. Lawrence E. Gilbert, a professor
of integrative biology at the University of Texas and director of its
Brackenridge Field Laboratory, was standing over a glass tank at in his
office, watching a swarm of Brazilian phorid flies make buzzing attacks
on some very unhappy South American fire ants.

Subject: Re: Invert zoo labs
Regarding an idea for invert zoo --
I'm doing a problem-based learning research project with my
college Biology I students that involves water quality, benthic
macroinvertebrates, and GIS -- students design and conduct a
research project, collect data, analyze using GIS and write a
research paper. A water bio-monitoring project could be used for
an invert class easily --- there's tons of resources out there.
Here is background info on my project:
www.greendzn.com/whgeoits.htm (Layers on the Landscape: how does
land use affect water quality and biodiversity?)
I am basically following the protocol at the Kansas Collaborative
Research Network Stream Monitoring page --
http://www.kancrn.org/stream -- it was developed for high school
students and I am making it appropriately more rigorous for
college level (though it is fairly detailed). And no I'm not in
Kansas -- I'm in Texas. The site contains online keys to the
inverts, ready to print data sheets, and students can enter their
data online. You don't have to use GIS, and that is just
something I am doing in my project.
Here is another site I stumbled upon the other day that seemed
like it might be of interest.
http://osf1.gmu.edu/~avia/intro.htm (an intro to Benthic
Macroinverts, organized by indicators of good, moderate, and poor
water quality). I didn't bookmark others but found a great deal
on biomonitoring and benthic macroinverts as a whole. It seems a
good project because students relate to rivers and streams and
benthic macroinverts are (relatively) easy to identify, at least
in broad categories. And having the students collecting the
inverts themselves takes looking at them under the scope into a
whole different dimension.
If you're interested, I can send you a copy of the first
worksheet I developed to get students immersed in background
reading about the project.
Hope this helps.

Subject: lab help needed!
HELP!!!!
I've planned a really nice lab for this week that requires my eco students
to do some hypothesis formulation and experimental design work with soil
isopods. One hitch. I've spent 2 days trying to find the @$#%$ beasts
which are usually so abundant I'm sweeping them out of my basement! I've
set up all the possible traps I can think of, sifted my compost, upturned
all the flower pots, to no avail.
Does anyone have an idea for a replacement critter for looking at adaptive
behaviors (we were planning to look at the possible tactic behaviors
involved in habitat choice by the isopods). I do have loads of red
wigglers, slugs, and some carrion beetles, and a few Tribolium cultures.
We also have some mystery snails in the lab. But I don't know if any of
these will work as well as the isopods.
Just out of curiosity, my compost heap attracts loads of mice. Any chance
they are eating the isopods, hence the low numbers all of a sudden?
I'm totally baffled as to why they have suddenly disappeared. And of
course in my efforts to save money, I foolishly figured I would just
collect enough for lab rather than buy them from a supplier. Should have
known nature loves curve balls.
Please answer off the list to avoid e-clutter. If anyone wants to see the
responses I'll be happy to summarize them.
Thanks for any help,
Liane

Subject: extention to nomination period for David Starr Jordan Prize
In light of the horrible events taking place yesterday in eastern North
America, and the obvious collateral effects on mail and courier service,
personal transportation, and general peace of mind, it seems only sensible
to extend the nomination period for the David Starr Jordan Prize for 2001.
Documents cannot move as quickly as usual, some people are stranded away
from their laboratories, and other patterns of communication and thought
are disrupted. Let me ask for the moment that all nomination materials
should reach me, at the address already published, by 30 September, and in
the interests of processing these materials for the selection committee's
attention, please get them to me as much before that date as possible.

Subject: the 5th International Moose Symposium to be held in Hafjell,
Norway from 4 - 9 August 2002
Attention Moosers!
We are pleased to invite you to participate at the 5th International Moose
Symposium to be held in Hafjell, Norway from 4 - 9 August 2002. As with the
four previous international moose symposia, the conference aims to facilitat
exchange of knowledge and ideas between moose scientists and managers involv
d
in research on and management of moose around the world.
Under the implementation of the Convention on Biological Diversity, a specia
emphasis has been placed upon an integrated ecosystem approach. Some of the
"Malawi principles" state that management objectives are a matter of societa
choice, and that management should be decentralised to the lowest appropriat
level. A key feature of the ecosystem approach includes conservation of
ecosystem structure and functioning on a long- term basis, and the ecosystem
approach should seek the appropriate balance between conservation and use of
biodiversity. The 5th International Moose Symposium will cover a broad spect
e
of topics, but the conference organisers would like to particularly focus on
the role of moose in the ecosystem, and how the Malawi principles can be
adopted in moose management. Accordingly, the theme of the conference is 'Mo
se
in a modern integrated ecosystem management '. Papers addressing these
questions are especially welcome.
The 5th International Moose Symposium replaces the annual North American Moo
e
Conference and Workshop for 2002.

t,

3 CONSULTANT POSITIONS
Conservation and Community Conflict: A Study by the Jane Goodall Institute
(JGI)
The Jane Goodall Institute received support from the Andrus Family Fund to
collect examples of, and lessons from, conservation projects in Africa that
have addressed community and individual transitions during program
development and/or implementation.
JOB DESCRIPTIONS:
In addition to a project leader from JGI, the following three positions
will create the study team.
International Conservation Consultant 1 year, part time position,
relocation not necessary
JGI is seeking an international conservationist with expertise and field
experience in tropical Africa. This individual will play a key role in
executing the study, including evaluation of conservation projects and a
significant contribution to writing, research and formulation of the final
report. Preference will be given to African nationals who currently reside
in Africa. An appropriate candidate will be self directed, responsible,
able to work as a team, have excellent written and communication skills in
English, experienced with project review and evaluation techniques.
Proficiency in French and Swahili, and familiarity with community
reconciliation measures, would be an asset.
This part time work may be completed in conjunction with current employment
(if flexible) and does not require relocation. The position involves two
trips (5 days) to the USA (November 2001, July 2002), one workshop in
Tanzania (August 2002) and two (2-3 week) trips to various countries within
Africa between December 2001 and July 2002. In addition to travel, which
totals 2-3 months, this project will require research, workshop
preparation, oral presentations and report writing to total an additional 3
months time commitment. Overall the project workload totals 6 months
throughout a one year period. Travel expenses and a generous salary will be
provided.
Brief Project Description: While conservation programs have always affected
local peoples, altering their livelihoods and social structures, the way in
which communities experience these changes has not always received adequate
attention or incorporation into conservation frameworks. There is however,
growing awareness of the important role of local communities in successful
conservation programming. Conservation programs may incorporate community
reconciliation measures that attend to the voices and interests at stake
and how individuals and communities experience the changes sought by
conservationists. Valuing this process may greatly assist in achieving
conservation goals, helping communities embrace change and increasing the
sustainability of both communities and conservation objectives. This study
seeks to gather lessons and guidelines from conservation projects which
have given attention and value to community transitions and reconciliation
of conflicts with conservation agendas, in order to improve future
conservation programming both Internationally and nationally.
North American Conservation Expert 1 year, part time position, relocation
not necessary
A flexible, part time consultancy position for a North American
conservationist with expertise in a range of conservation issues is
available for this study. The appropriate individual will be experienced in
research, writing, and implementation of conservation programs, and
community development. They should be aware of community conflicts with
conservation in North America. This person's role and contribution to the
project focuses on application of study results to North American
conservation and community contexts. Proficiency in written and verbal
English is required.
This individual will be required to attend two team meetings in USA
(November 2001, July 2002), and one workshop in Tanzania (August 2002).
Meeting and workshop preparation will be necessary. Additionally this
individual will play a key role in completing the final report, and will
play an advisory role throughout the year. As such they must be accessible.
This position can be in addition to current employment, and relocation is
not necessary. Travel expenses and salary will be provided.

specimens. Information obtained through TSA can be used in a GIS
environment to create distributional atlases. The information can also be
used in concert with environmental coverages to study various aspects of
the biogeography and ecology of species, including niche modeling using the
genetic algorithm GARP (Genetic Algorithm for Rule Production).

Subject: Re: lab help needed!
Thanks for all the suggestions for suitable inverts for the behavior lab.
I tend to agree with those who suggested the isopods have gone to ground
due to our already very cool fall evenings. Millipedes and centipedes also
have disappeared even from the nearby forest preserves, so they were
unavailable as well. Nearby bait and pet shops were all out of crickets
etc since all these are shipped by air. Guess I'll try again later.
Thanks again for the help,
