My interest is on the conservation and uses of native plants of the Andean Zone, either cultivated or wild relatives. I use molecular (mainly RFLPs and RAPDs) and morphological markers to study species boundaries and genetic diversity.
I am interest in GIS applications and how they might be applied to the tropics, especially remote sensing, habitat/wildlife identification and conservation.
I am interested in plant geography and phytosociology.
Research interests: Physiological and molecular basis of immune mechanisms in insects, with particular reference to mosquitoes and the mosquito-borne filarial and malarial parasites. Genetic transformation of mosquitoes. In vivo detection of reporter genes in insects.
I'm a postgraduate student working on herbivory of oaks. My interests are responses of oaks to herbivory, biomechanics as in fracture toughness, defensive chemicals, and leaf anatomy. Would enjoy discussing on any of the aspects and other aspects of ecology.
Research interests: Tropical parasitology; African trypanosomes, Schistosoma mansoni; developmental biology and programmed gene expression in parasites; protein structure and function.
I am making my Ph.D. study on the phylogeny and reproductive ecology of Old World Miconieae (Melastomataceae).
Research interests: applications of space shuttle photography to regional-scale geographical analysis and conservation projects; vegetation classification and mapping at micro and meso scales; an abiding interest in the fate of the land and peoples of Chiapas, Mexico.
I want to be here in this net because I have a sister who studies medicin and wants to get international information of medicin.

Research interests: neotropical birds--biogeography, systematics, behavioral ecology, evolution, vocalizations, brazilian amazon, collecting, diet, habitat selection, specialization, distribution patterns, canopy, flooded forest, campina, Tyrannidae, Nyctibiidae, suboscines.
Currently finishing up my Undergrad Botany degree at the U of Michigan. Interested in tropical botany, biological conservation, and ethnobotany. As of late I've been looking for any sort of experience in the tropics, as an assistant or volunteer. Please contact me if you could be of help.
My current research is aimed at reef fishes. I am trying to pick apart food vs. shelter importance for triggerfish on artificial reefs. Additionally, I dabble with various cichlids. Otherwise, anything regarding tropical fishes, fresh and salt water, is fair game.
My major tropical research interests are: forest succession and the ecology of secondary forests; seed dispersal by birds and mammals; the ecology of exotic species; fig biology; the ecology of the northern edge of the tropics. I have a general interest in the ecology and biogeography of tropical Asia.
Paleobiologist based at Rio de Janeiro. Working with Amazonian Middle Carboniferous rugose corals. Areas of interst are: systematics, biogeography, evolution, cladistics, morphometry, Amazon basin.
Forestry - ecosystem modeling. Remote sensing and GIS technologies. Biomass estimation and burning in tropics. Tropical ecosystem NPP and GPP estimation. C, water and N fluxes in tropical systems.
I am a mycologist working on the taxonomy of Higher Basidiomycetes, especially gilled-fungi from the Guianas, Lesser Antilles, Africa and Asia. I am involved in the "Flora of the Guianas" project. I can help in sorting out taxonomical problems in this taxonomical field.
My interests are on microbial molecular ecology. I have done work on the characterization of rhizobia from the Brazilian cerrados (savanna). At the moment I am developing a project to design molecular probes for the detection of tropical rhizobia in soils.
Ecology and Evolution of Fishes
Research Interests: Nutrient cycling in terrestrial systems, food webs and ecosystem modelling.
Studies description: PhD student; main interests are - marine microbial food webs; primary productivity; phytoplankton blooms; in situ phytoplankton growth rates.
Parasitology interest, Helminths, Protozoa
Investigation area: Ecology of Amazonics rivers.
I am the manager of the Benthic Ecology program. We conduct environmental assessment and environmental impact studies. Marine and estuarine ecology. Invertebrates, invertebrate taxonomy, ecology. MML maintains a research station in the Florida Keys, open to visiting investigators.
Philippine forest ecosytems, socio-ecological impacts of forest policy, Philippine biodiversity, US foreign assistance impacts on tropical forests and biodiversity, "ecology" of underdevelopment, sustainable forest management.
Phytoalexins and polyphenolic pigments in tropical leguminosae tree heartwoods, in vitro culture of the same species.
Biophysics, biochemistry, germplasm, small molecular weight proteins, emphasis not limited to plants.
Restoration ecology, especially forests with emphasis on trees and woody plants.
Interests: Ecology, Genetics, Systematics and conservation of Rainforest plants. Currently working on Molecular systematics of DIPTEROCARPACEAE.
I am just an hobbyist who is intrested in apistogramma and i think of working on phylogeny conserning apistogramma but i just want to keep up with the literature that is newly publist in the world.
I am a graduate student who is interested in the tropical biology of plant fungal symbioses, especially the ectomyccorhyzae.
I am working on population genetics and molecular systematics of the Hoplias malabaricus (Pisces; Erythrinidae) species complex. I am also trying to use information from independent data sets (morphology, karyotypes, and molecules).
