Subject: BBC DOCUMENTARY ON HUMAN PARASITES FOR ANIMAL PLANET
Dear Ecolog,
BBC WANTS TRAVELLERS TALES ABOUT NIGHTMARE CLOSE ENCOUNTERS WITH PARASITES
The BBC in England is making a 50 minute documentary on human parasite
infestations, called Eaten Alive, for one of Discovery's channels called
Animal Planet. The programme will feature first hand accounts of people who
have been attacked by parasites on their travels, plus interviews with
experts about the parasite's biology, behaviour, the symptoms, treatments,
and tips on prevention.
Are you aware of any people that were in the past or are currently infected
by parasites, that have a fascinating tale to tell who we could interview
for this documentary?
The parasite cases we are most interested in filming are: tapeworm
(cysticercosis & hydatid cysts), guineaworm, loa loa, schistosomiasis
(bilharzia), elephantiasis, hookworm (including cutaneous larva migrans),
whip worm, river blindness (onchocerciasis), roundworm (ascariasis), bot fly
larvae, screw worm larvae, tumbu fly larvae, ticks, chiggers flea, candiru,
leeches, and vampire bats. We also hope to include protozoan examples like
malaria, dengue fever, leishmaniasis (muco/cutaneous), sleeping sickness
(trypanosomiasis), and chaga's disease.
We are collecting the stories now, and plan to film parasite stories in the
UK and US during January and February, so need to move quite quickly on
this.
Many thanks for your help, and I look forward to hearing from you soon.

course this year:
GIS & REMOTE SENSING FOR WILDLIFE MANAGERS
An Introduction to the use of Geographic Information Systems &
Remote Sensing in Conservation and Wildlife Management
MARCH 4-8, 2002
Increasingly, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Remote Sensing - the
mapping of features using imagery acquired either from an aircraft or a
satellite - have become important tools for decision making and the applied
management of natural resources. Many federal agencies and NGO's rely on
GIS and satellite data for their work and are starting to produce their own
spatial databases. However, there are few training opportunities for
wildlife managers to learn the application of GIS in everyday management
situations. We are offering a course for wildlife managers that will
provide hands-on experience for the collection of data, GIS analysis of the
data, and map making.
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
This short course will provide wildlife managers with a working knowledge
about the application of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Remote
Sensing to the monitoring and management of wildlife and forest vegetation.
Exercises in establishing locations with a Global Positioning System (GPS),
data input into a GIS, and spatial analysis techniques for GIS will provide
hands-on and real world experience during the course. Based on examples
about habitat selection in songbirds and white-tailed deer, course
participants will learn how to:
* Collect GIS data in the field using survey techniques and GPS.
* Differentially correct GPS data.
* Input GPS data into GIS.
* Input field data into GIS.
* Use GIS for management of large data sets from multiple sources.
* Design and perform analysis using GIS data and spatial analysis
techniques.
* Integrate data with ancillary data, such as satellite imagery, aerial
photography, and State Agency databases.
TRAINING LOCATION
The course will be taught at the National Zoological Park's Conservation and
Research Center in Front Royal, Virginia. The Center is located at the
north entrance of the Shenandoah Park approximately 70 miles west of
Washington, D.C. Pick-up from Washington Dulles Airport can be arranged.
Participants will be housed at the CRC and meals provided at the CRC's

Subject: Predator Research and Management Biologist Position
Please respond to Douglass Cooper (listed below) and not this email.
Predator Research and Management Position
The Institute for Wildlife Studies (IWS) is seeking applicants for a
Predator Research and Management Biologist as part of the San Clemente
Loggerhead Shrike (SCLS) Recovery Program on San Clemente Island (SCI),
California. The Predator Research and Management Biologist will be part of
a team managing the native and non-native predators of the SCLS using a
variety of innovative methods including both lethal and non-lethal control
measures. Research will be conducted on the ecology and population
dynamics of a diverse community of predators on SCI to better develop
management strategies that provide maximum protection for the SCLS while
restoring the island's ecosystem. San Clemente Island is host to a suite
of predators including feral cats and rats, the state listed island fox,
ravens, and several species of raptors. Work will involve research and
management of all predator species.
Duties include, but are not limited to: 1) the use of box and padded
foot-hold traps to capture native and non-native predators; 2) spotlighting
for predators, by vehicle and on foot, at night; 3) safe use of firearms;
4) monitoring SCLS sites for predator activity; and 5) data entry, data
analysis, and use of GIS. These positions require frequent night work and
have a variable schedule depending on work requirements.
All work will be conducted on San Clemente Island. SCI is owned and
operated by the U.S. Navy as a test and evaluation site, shore bombardment
range, and warfare training grounds. Safety is of utmost importance to the
Navy and IWS. NOTE: pets are not allowed on San Clemente Island.
Position Requirements: We are seeking enthusiastic biologists with a strong
research background and a commitment to conservation and applied
ecology. Candidates must have extensive experience in the safe use of
firearms, including pistols, rifles and shotguns. Applicants should also
have experience trapping mammals (particularly carnivores) using box and
foot-hold traps. Candidates should be familiar with the safe operation of
various hand and power tools. Experience operating ATV's and full-sized,
4-wheel drive trucks over rocky and muddy roads is preferred. These
positions require considerable hiking to conduct predator research and
management activities, including hauling materials and equipment to remote
sites. Applicants should be sure-footed, safe, and be prepared to hike in
steep, rocky, cactus-covered terrain. San Clemente Island has a rugged
landscape with deep canyons offering considerable topographical
relief. The Predator Research and Management Biologist will need to
maintain a professional attitude at all times while working with Institute
staff and members of other organizations who may have varying missions,
opinions, and personalities.
Compensation: Commensurate with experience, but ranging from
$1850-2,200/month plus room and board while working on San Clemente
Island. Flights on and off SCI are provided at no cost on a twin-engine
aircraft. No off-island housing is provided.
Application Procedures: Submit a current resume and a cover letter stating
what you can contribute to the Predator Research and Management Project in
the capacities stated above. Provide the names, addresses, phone numbers
and email addresses of three (3) references. Because these positions will
be filled as soon as possible, electronic applications are recommended,
although electronic and postal applications will be considered equally.

Subject: Oxidized Iron in sed pond
Hello,
I am currently researching a problem associated with groundwater intrusion
into the municipal storm water system in Anchorage, AK.
The groundwater is rich in Iron and causing a very upleasant "Orange"
asthetic to a Water Quality Enhancement Pond (a bit of an oxymoron), used
to settle sediment entrained in storm water runoff. The municipality has
received complaints and inquiries from the local population despite the
fact that the Iron is primarily an eye sore. Thus, we have been tasked to
try and resolve the situation at hand, with the overall objective being low
cost and low maintenace over time. I would appreciate input from those of
you who have experience with bio-remedial techniques. I am also
interested in possible wetland species that could remove the lovely orange
hew, as the pond was historically a wetland before the 1970's.
Thanks

Subject: Internships for French INAPG students
January 2002
WOULD YOU RECEIVE A STUDENT IN YOUR LAB?
CALL FOR INTERNSHIPS IN ECOLOGY
The Institut national agronomique Paris-Grignon (INAPG), located in
Paris, France, is an institution for advanced education whose 1st and
2nd years are comparable to the 3rd and 4th years in the University
system. Students are accepted into the Institute after a two-year
preparation and a relatively intense competition.
The teaching curriculum covers a wide spectrum of fields: statistics,
biology, agronomy, animal science, biotechnology, food sciences,
economics, etc.
INTERNSHIPS. At the end of the 2nd year, students must spend at least
two months in a research laboratory, a company, a production plant,
etc. Optionally, they can also perform an "extra" internship during
the summer between the 1st and 2nd years.
BACKGROUND. Regarding population biology, all students take courses
in quantitative genetics (10 hours), population genetics (12 hours),
population ecology (10 hours) and ecosystem ecology (6 hours). In
addition, those interested in ecology and evolution can take more
advanced courses in statistical ecology (30 hours), evolutionary
genetics (30 hours), theoretical ecology (70 hours, incl. a personal
project) or living resource management (2 months, incl. a personal
project).
WORK TYPES. Almost any kind of work will be acceptable, provided that
the students learn something and get a minimal experience of what
research work is. The majority of ecology students generally prefer
field projects but, occasionally, some of them request theoretical
projects (data analysis, modelling).
DATES. Training must last a minimum of 8 weeks, to be arranged after
mid-May when courses are over in Paris. This period may extend until
early September.
FUNDING. Students will receive some financial help from the INAPG. If
you can offer some stipend, this will be welcome but it is certainly
not required.
If you can receive one or more of our students, either this year or
in future years, will you please answer the following questions.

Hi,
I was hoping those of you who conduct wetlands research could contact me
and briefly let me know how you are (or why you aren't) using HGM
(hydrogeomorphology re: Brinson 1993) in your research. I'm interested in
both the classification and assessment phases. If there are those in state
agencies that wish to chime in here, that would be great.
Thanks. I appreciate the assistance. If there's general interest in this
topic, I'll be happy to post a summary.

Subject: Re: MAJOR AXIS WITH ZERO INTERCEPT
My general solution is to assign the zero point to some very low
concentration - typically 10^3 or more lower than the lowest concentration
tested.
The alternative is to drop the zero point.
In SAS you can force the regression line through the zero point with
"/noint" as a part of the model statement.

This is feasible in Ordinary Least-Squares regression, but I was unable to

WASHINGTON (AP) - To conservationists, new government regulations on
wetlands will allow homebuilders to put up single-family dwellings in
flood plains and reroute miles of narrow streams. For developers, the
Army Corps of Engineers' reduced requirements for speedy government
approval of draining and filling permits is a long-overdue relaxation of
changes ordered by Congress. The regulations, announced Monday, revoke
some requirements . . .

Subject: Ecology Textbooks
Hello Ecologists,
On this list the textbook by Begon, Harper & Townsend has been
recommended. The book has one major deficiency: it gives scant attention to
ecosystems. The fact that organic communities in their matrix of
air-water-soil-sediments form ecological systems is apparently not
considered a subject of relevance to the education of ecologists, though
the concept is fundamental in limnology and in such applied fields as
forestry and range management.

ten specific projects in 2002, including:
research, information syntheses, scientific assessments, tool
development and a survey of practices. The projects
in this first year will emphasize establishing a baseline of
information and
assessments for selecting future NCSSF research. Montreal Process
Criteria 1: Sustainability and Biodiversity, is
the initial program focus.
NCSSF^Ōs mission is to improve the scientific basis for the design,
conduct and evaluation of sustainable forestry
practices in the U.S. NCSSF work must be not only of the highest
technical quality, but also directly relevant to the
urgent needs of forest managers, policymakers and practitioners.
Based on the Letters of Intent, three candidates for each project will
be invited to submit proposals for peer review.
Awards are expected by June 2002 and will range from $25,000 to
$250,000 each depending on the project.

I use Ricklefs' Economy of Nature for General
Ecology - while it is a relatively conservative approach, it is relatively
well rounded without being encyclopedic. The online material provides
more depth on selected subjects, thus giving the instructor some

Subject: Re: Ecology Textbooks
My reading and use of the Begon, Harper, and Townsend text in both its
formats (author order different in the shorter version) show substantial
attention to ecosystems. BHT subsume their discussions of ecosystems
into the sections on communities, considering ecosystems and communities
to be very closely related entities. The American paradigm of
Populations, Communities, and Ecosystems as THE three levels of
ecological organization and function may not be perfectly mirrored by
these non-American authors, but ecosystems are certainly there, and
their processes are effectively treated from my perspective -- that of
an ecologist who teaches a beginning undergraduate course at the junior
level in general ecology.
I don't think anyone would argue that such processes as production,
chemical cycles, nutrient spiraling and so on are unimportant.
Certainly, BHT treat them at a level suitable for the audience
intended. Admittedly, their treatment of population biology is more
detailed. Other texts have different emphases. I definitely would not
recommend BHT as the appropriate text for a limnology course -- and I
don't think anyone else did either.
I suppose anyone teaching a course will have to review each text (s)he
considers, and select the one (s)he finds best for the course and audience.
