Subject: Plant competition class
Hi, I sent this message for the list:
"Hi, I am interested in to use an experiment on plant competition in my
classes of Ecology and Statistics for biologists (undergrad). I am planning
to use different seed densities in a greenhouse but....... I dont have a
good idea about the best experimental design for plant competiton
experiments. Then, I would like to receive suggestions about the
EXPERIMENTAL DESIGNS and also about ARTICLES as good examples of plant
competiton experiments. The idea is to use the practice to show how that
hard theory can be easily touched in real life !"
I have received these two good references:
Goldberg, D. E. & L. Fleetwood. 1987. Competitive effect and response in
four annual plants. J. Ecol. 75:1131-1143.
Inouye, B.D. 2001. Response surface experimental designs for investigating
interspecific competition. Ecology 82:2696-2706.

From: "Bruce R. Levin" <blevin@EMORY.EDU>
Subject: An awesome graduate program - PBEE at Emory
Dear Colleagues and Prospective Graduate Students:
This "Public Service" message is to let you know that the graduate program
in Population Biology, Ecology and Evolution (PBEE) at Emory University is
now considering applications for its seventh class to enter in the fall of
2002.
If you know of or are an ambitious and able student looking for a superb
graduate program in population biology, ecology and evolutionary biology,
the hardly cryptic (but sincere) purpose of this message is to encourage
you to submit an application to our program.
If you were/are thinking about applying, but you are hesitating - DON'T!!
Just send an e-mail message alerting Sonia Altizer (saltize@emory.edu) or
Bruce Levin (blevin@emory.edu) of your intentions. In the first weeks of
February we will choose the best candidates to bring to Atlanta for
interviews, March 22-25, 2002.
Here's some information to encourage you to further consider joining us in
Atlanta:
While the PBEE graduate program covers a number of areas of population
biology, ecology and evolution, particular emphasis is given to those in
which we believe we can offer the best doctoral training in the United
States, if not the Universe. Most prominent of these areas of emphasis are
the population biology, ecology and evolutionary biology of microorganisms
(including protests and organelles as well as bacteria and viruses),
infectious disease, and the evolution of behavior.
The Emory University based faculty of the PBEE program includes members of
the Departments of Biology, Genetics, Anthropology, Environmental Studies
and Psychology, as well as faculty in the Rollins School of Public Health
and Medical School. The PBEE faculty also includes investigators at the US
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the CDC (immediately next
door), and the Yerkes Primate Center (almost brachiating distance).
PBEE is part of the Division of Biological and Biomedical Sciences:
students accepted to this, or other Division, programs are normally
guaranteed at least two years of support with a reasonable, if not
opulent, stipend, currently $18,500 per year, and a full tuition waiver.
(Virtually all of our students have received support from research grant
and other sources for the full tenure of their years in the PBEE program.)
Emory is located in a posh and tree-lined section of Atlanta, about five
miles from downtown and less distant from Midtown, Virginia Highlands,
Buckhead and other happening places. For those who don't know and/or have
northern US prejudices (and we used to be those kinds of people), Atlanta
is a beautifully wooded and wonderfully cosmopolitan and liberal (yup)
city. It is located in the piedmont of the Appalachian Mountains (about
two hours drive from the high Appalachians) and five hours from either the
Atlantic or Gulf coasts.
The official web site of the PBEE program is
http://www.biomed.emory.edu/program_pbee.html. Check it out.
Application forms to the PBEE program and more information about the
mechanics of applying can be obtained online at
www.biomed.emory.edu/admissions_applicationinformation.html
Candidates from the United States can obtain application forms as PDF
files or can apply on-line. If you want additional information about the
PBEE program or specific areas of focus, you are most welcome to e-mail (a
neo verb) either of us or other members of the PBEE faculty (their e-mail
addresses can be obtained from the official PBEE web site).
We thank you for your interest and look forward to hearing from you!
Best wishes,
Sonia Altizer and Bruce Levin

Subject: Senior Ecologist Position at Harvard Forest in Central Massachusett
ECOLOGIST - HARVARD FOREST
The Harvard Forest is seeking a scientist with a strong research and
publication record to develop a research program on the ecology and
conservation of ecosystems and landscapes in New England. Although the
specific research area is open, applicant interests should be complementary
to existing LTER, NIGEC and related studies and should build on established
archival, land, and research bases developed through a century of
study. Interested scientists should carefully review http:
www.lternet.edu/hfr, send an application consisting of a CV and cover
letter and have three letters of recommendation forwarded to Harvard
Forest, PO Box 68, 324 North Main Street, Petersham, MA 01366, Attn: Senior
Ecologist Search Committee by January 15, 2002.
Rationale and Job Description
Over the past twenty years the Harvard Forest has undergone strong g
owth
as the field center for many of Harvard University's programs in ecology
and environmental sciences, including the NSF-funded Long term Ecological
Research program and DOE-supported National Institutes of Global
Environmental Change. This activity has engaged researchers from many
parts of Harvard and diverse outside institutions and has involved fields
of study ranging from community and population ecology to conservation
biology and paleoecology to atmospheric chemistry and
biogeochemistry. Despite this breadth of research and investigators most
studies have been unified by a common theme of linking ecological pattern
and process to long-term dynamics of the New England landscape and by
application of research results to pressing issues in conservation biology,
natural resource management, and environmental change.
There is an opportunity to add breadth to the research group based at the
Harvard Forest and in particular to identify an individual to initiate a
new research program and set of activities. Rather than focusing this
search strongly on particular ecological areas, processes, or phenomena, we
are seeking an individual who will fit well into the research context,
history and intellectual and biological environment presented by the
Forest's setting in central New England and its current research program
and facilities. In particular we seek an individual whose research interest
:
- Are complementary to those of current research staff and directions
n
community and historical ecology, environmental history, conservation
biology, paleoecology, landscape ecology, and ecosystem dynamics.
- Utilize the nearly 100 years of records and extensive geographical,
cartographic, and historical databases available at the Forest.
- Use or add to the infrastructure base provided by current research l
bs
in biogeochemistry, paleoecology, dendrochronology, and spatial analysis.
- Take advantage of the rural setting and the Harvard Forest focus on
studies at a site (e.g. 3000 acres of Harvard land), sub-region (e.g.
central Massachusetts, coastal New England and adjoining New York), and
regional (New England and adjoining areas) scale.
- Augment ongoing LTER and NIGEC programs at the Harvard Forest.
The successful applicant will bring an active history of research and
funding and will apply this towards defining a new research program that
broadens and is strongly collaborative with current activities at the
Harvard Forest. Emphasis will be placed on the individual's complementing
well the existing research and educational environment. The position will
be supported by institutional funds at a level determined by background and
experience and the term appointment will be renewable subject to
review. The Harvard Forest offers an excellent field, laboratory, and
academic environment and efforts will be made to assist the new position to
develop a proper research base of facilities and activity.
Brief Job Description and Application Procedure
A scientist with strong research and publication record will develop a
research program on ecology and conservation of ecosystems and landscapes
in New England. The specific research area is open but should complement
existing LTER, NIGEC and related studies and should build on established
archival, land, and research bases developed through a century of study at
the Harvard Forest. As a member of the senior research staff, the new
scientist will design and conduct research projects, publish results, and
obtain funding to support research activities.
Applicants should have a PhD in a relevant field and an excellent history
of conducting complex research projects, publication and presentation of
results and obtaining funding.
Please submit CV, cover letter, three letters of recommendation and
supporting material describing research experience and directions, and the
fit between the individual's expertise, interests and history to the
research focus and ongoing activities at the Harvard Forest. This latter
part of the application is critical as the focus of the search is to
identify individuals and research directions that will work effectively
within the physical, cultural, and scientific environment of the Harvard
Forest.
The Harvard Forest website, www.lternet.edu/hfr contains further background
on the activities, facilities, and geographical context of the Forest such
as the Harvard Forest Annual Report, Abstracts of the HF Ecology Symposium,
and the most recent HF LTER proposal.
Please send applications to Harvard Forest, PO Box 68, 324 North Main
Street, Petersham, MA 01366, Attn: Senior Ecologist Search Committee.
The closing date for applications is January 15, 2002
Harvard University is an equal opportunity employer committed to diversity.

Subject: assistants sought: Mojave Phainopepla project
I am seeking volunteers to assist me with my field research on
phainopeplas in the northeastern Mojave desert for minimum 1-month
periods from December 2001-June 1 2002. Phainopeplas are a very showy,
small, frugivorous bird of management concern in southern Nevada. The
purpose of the research is to investigate the ecological determinants of
phainopepla abundance and breeding success in mesquite and acacia
woodlands. Volunteers will have the opportunity to develop and use a
wide variety of skills including assessing phainopepla densities,
mistnetting and color-banding phainopeplas, finding and monitoring
nests, and evaluating resource abundance at a wide variety of sites in
southern Nevada and neighboring states. These sites include some of the
most spectacular areas of this region such as Red Rock Canyon, Valley of
Fire State Park and the Lake Mead National Recreation Area.
Volunteers should have either extensive birding experience or a B.S. in
Biology or Environmental Sciences. I will arrange lodging and pay a
small stipend. Possession of a valid driver’s license is essential, but
no vehicle is required (although it is desirable). I am especially
seeking volunteers who can commit to a regular schedule of assistance
for 2 or more months (e.g. 5 days a week, or every weekend), but may
also be able to incorporate volunteers who wish to assist me
occasionally.
If you are interested, please send me, Cali Crampton, a letter detailing
your experience and interest in the project and a 1-2 page resume by

Subject: Re: Biological Soil Crusts
Tania:
Since I am interested in lichenology, I associate the term "crusts" with
lichen crusts. Roger Rosentreter and other BLM folks recently published a
guide to lichen soil crusts:

Do a search for crusts (on the page above) and you will hit the pdf document
Hope this helps!

Subject: Re: darwin
Note that rendering of the relevant line and date
stated for the letter differs between the two web
sites so the issue is not quite resolved.
Cambridge UP seems to have a third variant of
both the line in question and the preceding statement
but that particular publication is missing from the
local library so I can't verify that or to get a date.
(Charles Darwin's Correspondence, v. 9. p. 269,
Cambridge UP.)
