Hello,

I'm looking for short-term employment within the King County area of
Washington state. I'm currently between jobs with my next position starting
March 1, 2002. I have over three years biological experience including avian
census, plant ecology, mammal surveys, and wetland-related work. If you or
someone you know is in need of a short-term field or office biologist, I
would like to send you my resume and a list of references. Thanks!

With regards,

Subject: some humor (I hope)

I thought I'd start 2002 by solving the worlds problems:

slash resource consumption by using genetic engineering to make humans tiny
(about 10 cm seems right). this would completely rescale the biosphere--for
example all the small trees we're growing would seem big again.  of course,
some humans would still need to be full size (like me) and some tiny people
might be chased by sparrows.

and the pnw salmonid-ecosystem nutrient crisis? well, if I can get
windsurfers to spawn and die.... (no offense toward surfers out there).


ok, maybe it won't work. but heres to 2002 as a year of good ideas.
regards,

Subject: postdoc - microbial evolutionary ecology

POSITION AVAILABLE

Postdoctoral Researcher - Evolutionary Ecology of Microbes

A position for a postdoctoral researcher in the laboratory of Dr.
Brendan Bohannan at Stanford University is currently available.  The
researcher will participate in two ongoing projects utilizing
microbial communities as model systems to study general ecological
and evolutionary phenomena.  The first project is focused on the
causes and consequences of the tradeoff between resistance to
predators and competitive ability, using phage and bacteria as a
model system.  This project is in collaboration with Dr. Michael
Travisano at the University of Houston.  The second project is a
study of the effects of localized dispersal and interaction on the
ecology and evolution of communities, using communities of bacteria,
and bacteria and phage, as model systems.

The ideal candidate will have a Ph.D. in ecology, evolution,
microbiology or a related field, experience working with microbial
model communities, and a strong interest in community ecology and
evolution.

The starting date for this position is negotiable and applications
are being accepted immediately.  Applicants should send a current
C.V. with the names and contact information of 3 referees to:

From:    LouhaicM@EXCHANGEMAIL.ORST.EDU
Subject: Precision Farming

I am using Yield Mapping Systems (AgLeader and GreenStar) to collect yield
data of grain crops (wheat and grass seed). Where a combine, equipped with
GPS and a yield monitor (sensor), can record every second its exact location
in the field and yield at that location.
In some fields when I am using only combines equipped with the YMS, I am
sampling the whole population. In some other cases, I am sub-sampling
(running more than one combine simultaneously where at least one combine is
not equipped with the YMS).
In both cases, I am having hundred of thousands of data points (yield data).

My question is how do we statistically analyze the data?

Suppose we are trying to compare yield among different types of soil within
a single field.
In case we are sampling the whole population, we know exactly the mean, the
STDV...etc. Should I just present the data as is, with no statistics?
If not what kind of statistical procedures are appropriate.

I tried to run several t-test and they were all significant. This is mainly
because In one variable I have so many data points and in the other I have
just a few.

Another issue is that this data is not independent caused by a serial
effect, in which measurements are taken over time and observations close
together in time tend to be more similar.

Any input in regards to this topic is highly appreciable.

Some have work experience in environmental management, but few if any have

FACULTY RESEARCH ASSISTANT
Ecophysiologist

Position Number 002-953
Location:  Department of Forest Science, Oregon State University, Corvallis,
Oregon

Earliest Starting Date:  February 18, 2002

Application Closing Date:  For full consideration apply by January 25, 2002.

Responsibilities: The position will be with an interdisciplinary team of
scientists working on integration of ecological simulation models with plot
data and spatial data related to climate, physiography, vegetation, and soil
properties. The goal of the research is the measurement and simulation of
regional CO2 fluxes in the Pacific Northwest. Responsibilities will include
primarily field data collection, maintenance of field instrumentation
(including automated soil chamber system and meteorological stations), and
data management. Field studies will involve soil CO2 effluxes in response to
environment, and variation in productivity, leaf area index, and litterfall.
The field sites will include three forest types along a climatic gradient in
Oregon. The successful applicant will analyze and manage large ecological
data sets, communicate results and participate in preparation of scientific
publications.

Qualifications: M.S. in Ecophysiology, Forest Science, Ecology, or Botany is
required. Demonstrated experience performing ecophysiological measurements
in the field and laboratory  (e.g., net photosynthesis, respiration, leaf
area, soil moisture) is required. Experience using field instrumentation
(e.g., Campbell data loggers, LI6400, LAI-2000, pressure bomb, TDR),
including instrument maintenance and troubleshooting is required (previous
experience designing and constructing lab and field instrumentation
desirable). Experience summarizing ecophysiological data collected from
multiple sites, and manipulation and analysis of the data (e.g., analysis of
A-Ci curves, stand dimensional data to estimate aboveground net primary
productivity, analysis of optical measurements for estimating LAI;
developing statistical models for estimating monthly and annual soil CO2
fluxes from periodic measurements and environmental variables) is required,
using preferably S-PLUS or SAS, or other software. Demonstrated ability to
work independently and in an interdisciplinary team environment is required.
Modeling experience is highly desirable.

Employment Conditions: Full-time (1.0 FTE), fixed term faculty position.
This position is funded by grant funds. Re-appointment is at the discretion
of the Dean. Full-time annual salary is $24,996-$30,000 depending on
experience and qualifications. Medical, dental, and life insurance group

Subject: Biodiversity Hot Spots

Dear ECOLOG,

currently I am seaking literature about the arise of biodiversity. While the
e
is some about the arise of biodiversity itselve, it seems to me nobody knows
anything about the generation of biodiversity hot-spots. For any information
I
will be grateful.

From:    "CRC GIS Lab, Smithsonian" <crcgis@HOTMAIL.COM>
Subject: Smithsonian GIS internship

The Spatial Analysis Lab at the National Zoo's Conservation & Research
Center (CRC) is seeking interns, to start immediately.  The Lab focuses on
developing remote sensing and GIS applications to conservation problems.
Projects include:

1.  Mapping habitat for endangered species at different spatial scales.  In
the past, we have worked on habitat mapping for golden-cheeked warbler,
Burmese Eld's deer, and Mongolian gazelles.  Currently, we are initiating a
project on Asian elephants.

2.  Assess land cover change for the ranges of endangered species, with
special focus on protected areas within these ranges.

3.  Develop a GIS model to determine intact forest tracts using data from
large-scale remote sensing of forests in Myanmar (Burma).

4.  Training of wildlife management professionals in application of GPS, GIS
and remote sensing to every-day management.

Interns will assist in the GIS/remote sensing aspects of these projects,
enter data, help with training courses, and assist with everyday lab
management.  We seek interns with a good knowledge of computers, Windows
operating systems, standard office software, and basic knowledge of GIS
(preferably ArcView or ARC/INFO).  Additional experience with remote
sensing, ERDAS Imagine (or other image processing software), Adobe
Photoshop, or GPS are a plus.  A $500/month stipend and free on-site housing
are provided.  Send letter of interest and resume to Melissa Songer at
songerm@crc.si.edu.

The Conservation and Research Center is located at the north entrance of the
Shenandoah National Park about 60 miles west of Washington, D.C., in Front
Royal, VA.

CRC's mission is to advance conservation of biological diversity. In meeting
the Smithsonian Institution's mandate, CRC increases knowledge through
investigations of threatened species, habitats, and communities, and
disseminates knowledge through advanced studies, professional training, and
public outreach (www.si.edu/crc).
