Description: Project #135A Closing Date January 6, 1998 (2nd Posting)
Ecosystem history of terrestrial and freshwater marine environments of South
Florida of the Florida Cooperative Mapping Project. Eco systems of South
Florida have undergone numerous human disturbances, including alteration of
drainage patterns, fire history, and hydroperiod through implementation of a
complex levee and canal system, expansion of agricultural activity, and urban
growth. Understanding the relative roles of natural and man-made stresses in
controlling changes in floral distribution is a preliminary and fundamental
requirement for proper management of natural resources of the region. This
project is designed to document historical changes in the terrestrial
ecosystem
quantitatively, to date any changes and determine whether they resulted from
documented human activities, and establish baseline level of variability in
the
South Florida ecosystem to estimate whether the observed changes are greater
than would occur naturally.
Objective:
The intern will function as a physical science technician providing support to
a research scientist in data collection, processing, and analysis.
Independent
creativity and development within these functions is encouraged.
Specific Tasks:
1. Laboratory work: sampling and processing for palynomorphs (pollen and
spores, primarily) and charcoal residue.
2. Field work: collection of peat and sediment short cores and modern census
data.
3. Data base entry and data manipulation, including graphic representation of
data results.
The project will provide the Associate an opportunity to gain experience in
terrestrial field data sampling techniques and a variety of laboratory
techniques, broaden the Associate s knowledge and understanding of ecosystem
habitats and the study of ecosystem history, and provide an opportunity for
expanded computer capabilities.
General Qualifications:

Subject: Postdoctoral research fellow(s) in Geographical Ecology
THE UNIVERSITY OF LEEDS, SCHOOL OF BIOLOGY
Postdoctoral research fellow(s) in Geographical Ecology
A postdoctoral research position will be available from 1 April 1999
for a fixed period of 3 years to work on spatial patterns in plant and
insect distributions. The work will involve a combination of field
population surveys and analyses of national distributional data. The
goal is to test whether species distributions show predictable
patterns of aggregation across spatial scales, and to examine the
biological correlates of those patterns. A second postdoctoral
position may also become available, focusing primarily on the
computational and mathematical aspects of the problem.
Applicants for either post should have completed a doctorate in a
relevant field. The ideal candidate for the first position would be
an experienced and indefatigable field botanist, capable of extended
periods of field research and plant population surveying.=20
Organisational and leadership skills will be important, and experience
with computer databases, GIS and GPS methods, fractal mathematics, and
spatial ecology theory would all be helpful. For the second position,
familiarity with spatial statistics, fractals and GIS would be
valuable, together with good skills in computer programming and the
manipulation of large spatial databases. An active, creative mind and
good communication skills will be vital for either position.
The salary for position 1 will be on the scale for Research Staff
Grade R1A (=A315,735 - =A317,570 p.a.) according to qualifications and
relevant experience. The timing and salary of the second position are
still subject to negotiation.
Informal enquiries may be made to Dr. William Kunin (tel: +44 [0] 113

Further particulars.
Postdoctoral position(s) in geographical ecology/biogeography
Background
One of the primary goals of ecology has been to explain and analyse
the distribution and abundance of species. This task is complicated
by the fact that plant and animal populations are usually spatially
complex, exhibiting patchiness across a wide range of spatial scales.=20
Recent work (Kunin 1998, Science 281: 1513-1515) suggests that it may
be possible to combine population information across a range of scales
into simple, scale-independent measures. These may allow species
abundance to be extrapolated across scales, allowing estimates of
fine-scale population patterns fto be made using coarse-scale data. =20
A number of other methods have been subsequently been proposed to
address the issue, but few data exist with which to test their
predictions. =20
We have recently obtained funding for a research programme to test
these ideas, and their applicability to British plants and insects.=20
We are looking for a postdoctoral researcher (or possibly two) to join
this project. The work would have two primary components: (a)
conducting detailed multiple-scale surveys of plant species
distributions in the field, to provide reliable population data from a
wide range of spatial scales; and (b) compiling and analysing a large
database of species abundance patterns across a more limited range of
scales, using national distributional data, to test whether scaling
patterns can be predicted from the biology of the study species (e.g.
dispersal abilities, habitat usage, or abundance). Funding may also
become available for a second postdoctoral position, which would focus
primarily on the computational and mathematical aspects of the
problem.
The ideal candidate for the first position would be an experienced and
indefatigable field botanist, capable of extended periods of field
research and plant population surveying. Organisational and
leadership skills would be useful, as the postdoc will be responsible
for heading a small team of summer research assistants. In addition,
experience with computer databases, GIS and GPS methods, fractal
mathematics, and spatial ecology theory would all be helpful. For the
second position, familiarity with spatial statistics, fractals and GIS
would be desirable, together with good skills in computer programming
and the manipulation of large spatial databases. An active, creative
mind and good communication skills will be vital for either position.

From: Dave McNeely
Subject: Re: Fw: INFOTERRA : AQUACULTURE MAY BE HARMFUL
What criteria have been used that determine that no harm to surrounding
wildlife has occurred? _Tilapia_ spp. are widely cultured around the world.
In many places they have escaped to become pest in surrounding ecosystems.
_Tilapia aurea_ is now one of the most abundant fishes in S. Texas, and may be
displacing native species in some habitats. Certainly this non-native species
is here to stay as a component of our fauna, whether we like it or not. It has
not confined itself to aquaculture ponds!
I agree that careful assessment must be made before the use of non-native
species is begun. Perhaps I would go further. If no culturable native species
is available, perhaps aquaculture is not the way to go. In S. Texas, native
red drum, channel catfish, and others are available. But growers used
_Tilapia_, and now we have them everywhere.

Subject: USGS #145 - BS Earth Science/Engineering - Reston, VA
USGS Earth Science Intern Program*
Administered by The Environmental Careers Organization
Location: Reston, Virginia
Length: 1 Year
Description: Project #145 Closing Date January 6, 1999
Restoration efforts for the Florida Everglades are focused on re-establishing
and enhancing shallow surface-water flows where these habitat preserving
conditions have been lost or diminished due to canal and hydraulic control
structure diversions. This project is focused on quantifying canal and
wetland
flow exchanges through field data collection efforts, analyzing these data to
investigate forcing mechanisms and evaluate empirical coefficients, and
translating these findings into the development of improved simulation models
for use in determining the effectiveness of restoration actions.
Objectives:
This internship will provide an Earth Science Intern with the opportunity to
work closely with hydrologists and other research scientists in the full range
of tasks associated with the translation of field collected data into an
interpretive tool to appraise water management decisions and actions. The
earth Science Intern will work closely with the project chief and other
scientists to collect the needed data, to compile and verify the data for
entry
into data bases, to analyze the data for translation into mathematical
expressions, to prepare the data for input to simulation models, and to
develop
graphical tools and methods for the visualization od simulation results.
Specific Tasks:
1. Assist in the preparation and execution of efforts to collect intensive
hydraulic and hydrologic data in the South Florida Everglades using
sophisticated instruments with laptop computers and field notebooks to record
the data and descriptive information.
2. Download data from the laptop media and enter descriptive information from
field notes into computer files, transfer these to appropriate data bases
and/or computer program formats, and develop graphical plots and statistical
measures to verify the data integrity.
3. Transform data to appropriate formats for input to mathematical models,
execute simulations, and develop graphical plots of numerical results for
comparison with field-collected data.
4. Develop graphical plotting techniques and routines compatible for use in
simulation models and Geographic Information Systems for evaluating and
demonstrating flow conditions in interconnected canal and wetland systems.
The Earth Science Intern will be integrally involved with all aspects of the
research effort and thus will derive considerable first-hand experience and
knowledge of the scientific approach to real-world problem solving. Intern
will be introduced to other disciplinary activities affiliated with and
contributing to the work of the US Geological Survey in restoring the Florida
Everglades to pre-drainage conditions.
General Qualifications:
In order to be eligible for this program you must have graduated from a US
College or University within the last 12 months (US Citizens that studied
abroad are also eligible). Non-US Citizens must have attended college in the
US and be eligible to work in the US for up to two years, without
sponsorship.
Former employees of the USGS are not eligible for this program.
Project Specific Qualifications:
A Bachelor s Degree in the Earth Science s with coursework in the fields of
hydraulics, hydrology, and computer science are highly desirable. An
understanding of the basic concepts of fluid mechanics, the components of the
hydrologic cycle, and the use of simulation modeling in problem solving are
needed. Advanced computer skills including the ability to write computer code
(e.g. Fortran, Visual Basic, etc.); to use spreadsheet database programs (e.g.
MS Excel, Oracle, etc.); and to employ statistical software (e.g. SAS),
graphical plotting packages (e.g. Golden Software s Grapher and Surfer, etc.)
and analytical tools (e.g. Matlab, Mathematica, etc.), to interpret
time-series
data using PC and/or Unix systems are all highly desirable. Excellent verbal
and written communication skills are needed.
Stipend:
$22,063-$26,265 a year. An Optional Employee Paid Health Program is
available. Federal Holidays and 3 sick days are included. One week of
vacation is included in the second year, if the project continues beyond one
year. You would be an employee of the Environmental Careers Organization, not
the USGS. ECO would handle all administrative functions of employment such
as;
payroll, taxes, workers compensation.

Subject: 1999 Internship Opportunities
Description of Ecological Forestry Research Intern Position, Tall
Timbers Research Station
There are at least four openings for research internships in ecological
forestry at Tall Timbers Research Station north of Tallahassee, Florida.
The holders of these positions will report to the Ecological Forestry
Research Scientist. Interns will be responsible for data collection in
longleaf, slash and loblolly/shortleaf pine stands throughout the
southeastern coastal plain, with particular attention paid to the
Apalachicola National Forest and the Red Hills Physiographic Province of
South Georgia/North Florida. Similar measurements may be taken in
bottomland hardwood ecosystems in southern Georgia and northern and
central Florida. Other research sites may be added as opportunities
arise.
Minimum qualifications for research intern include substantial progress
toward a bachelor s or higher degree in forest science, ecology or a
related field. More advanced degrees and/or more extensive experience
may result in greater responsibility, including the opportunity to
co-author publications in refereed journals. However, the position
primarily involves substantial field work, measuring literally hundreds
and hundreds of trees, and data entry. Expertise in the use of
spreadsheets and statistical analysis software is desirable. Extensive
travel, sometimes on short notice, may be required. On-site residence
on certain research sites may also be required, sometimes under
primitive conditions. What is important to the hiring equation is the
demonstrated ability to measure and understand stand development
processes of arboreal woody species (i.e., trees). Of particular
importance is the ability to work alone or in groups with minimal
supervision.
For example: work in the Apalachicola National Forest will include:
1) Measuring tree height, height to the base of the live crown, diameter
at breast height, and crown spread (the distance the tree crown extends
in the four cardinal directions.
2) measuring the position of each tree in the study, based on azimuth
and distance from a fixed point in each plot;
3) measuring the number and size of pine seedlings in the understory;
4) measuring the number and size of pine seedlings in the understory;
5) calculating the percent of the ground in each plot impacted by
logging equipment;
6) generally estimate overstory crown density using a densiometer; and
7) characterizing the number and species of the ground cover in selected
sub-plots within each plot.
Work in bottomland hardwoods might include:
1) The allometric measurements outlined above; and
2) plot layout Ä measuring and identifying plot boundaries so that the
treatment area is at least 5 acres;
3) pre-treatment overstory cruise: height, species, diameter at breast
height; and
4) depth of standing water, if present.
Work on the longleaf restoration project on Tall Timbers Research
Station will include:
1) Measuring the size and number of planted longleaf seedlings on the
study sites;
2) generally estimate overstory crown density using a densiometer;
3) determining the number, species and size of the nearest competitor of
the longleaf seedling (probably loblolly pine in the understory sites);
and
4) determining the species mix, abundance and vigor of competing
herbaceous species.
Work in the Red Hills, dealing with forest-quail dynamics, might
include:
1) The allometric measurements outlined above; and
2) spatial arrangement, calculation of area of anthropogenic treatments
(food plots, disked sites);
3) characterization of overstory, using a densiometer or subjective
characteristics; and
4) some type of spatial or GIS-based location of quail population
dynamics (in collaboration with the Game Bird Management Research
department.
All of the projects would require the data to be entered into a
spreadsheet and proofed, ensuring that the correct values were entered
into their correct places. All interns get involved with exploratory
data analysis (mean, dispersion, graphical data presentation).
PAY
The internship pays $150 per week with free housing at the Station. In
order to drive Tall Timbers vehicles, interns must be approved by the
Station s insurance company. The internship length is generally 10-12
weeks, but this can be negotiated. The start and end dates are also
flexible, but we anticipate one to two openings beginning early this
spring and the remainder working during the summer (May 15 through
August 15).
TALL TIMBERS RESEARCH STATION
Tall Timbers Research, Inc. is a privately-endowed and publicly
supported non-profit ecological research station founded in 1958.
Research programs at Tall Timbers focus on integrated investigations of
vertebrate habitat and population ecology, plant ecology and ecological
forestry in the context of a fire-maintained landscape. Our goal is to
understand how management actions such as the application of prescribed
fire or harvest of timber can be used to mimic ecosystem processes that
have shaped longleaf pine forests through the millennia. The Station
population staff varies in size between 30 and 44, with the higher
number occurring during the summer.

MARSUPIALS PURSUED BY CHANGING CLIMATE
By Environment Correspondent Alex Kirby
Australian scientists believe that changes in the climate over
the next century may be disastrous for several species of marsupial
- animals with pouches.
The scientists, from the Commonwealth Scientific and
Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO), are concerned about two
tree kangaroos and five species of possum.
The animals are now found only on cool tropical peaks in
northern Australia.
Trapped by changing climate
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
CSIRO says they are the last representatives of an
extraordinarily rich fauna that flourished there over the last 20
million years, when rainforests covered much of Australia.
One researcher, John Kanowski, said: "The possums and tree
kangaroos are essentially temperate animals that have become
isolated in the high misty mountains of the tropics.
"They are tree-dwelling, cool-adapted, and very territorial
in their behaviour. They may be highly susceptible to global
warming."
The CSIRO team believes that a two-degree global warming which
occurred between 5,000 and 3,500 years ago caused a major wave of
extinctions.
That, it believes, is the reason why these marsupial species
retreated to the mountain tops.
And Mr Kanowski thinks that the climate changes expected in
the next 50 or 100 years could be even more devastating for the
animals that have so far managed to survive.
"For one thing, the atmosphere is becoming richer in carbon
dioxide (CO2), and this makes the leaves on which these animals
subsist tougher and less digestible", he says.
The trees themselves are deficient in nutrients, because the
pockets of rainforest left after human destruction now grow mostly
on poor, thin soil about as nutritious as sand.
Poisoned by their food
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Because the leaves are poor in nutrients, the animals need
to eat more to survive," says Mr Kanowski.
And that conceals a further threat, because the leaves contain
natural substances - phenolics, alkaloids and cyanide-forming
compounds - to protect the trees against over-browsing.
"That means the animals' intake of natural plant toxins is
higher too, so they may be gradually poisoned by their own diet."
John Kanowski says understanding the animals' physiology is
the key to predicting their response to climate change and
alterations to their habitat.
"We think they need cool conditions, not only to keep their
body temperatures down, but also to provide the dew they drink."
If the cool, wet forest retreats, the animals have no choice but
to go with it."
There is also concern that the extinction of the animals might
affect the rainforest itself. "These animals have been part of the
rainforest for millions of years", says John Kanowski. "Along with
insects, they perform an important task in "mowing" the forest.
Take away the animals, and you may also start to lose the diversity
of the trees."

Gray whales slow to start winter migration
Tuesday, December 22, 1998
Some 24,000 gray whales migrate each winter from their
feeding grounds in the Bering Sea to calving lagoons off
Mexico's Baja Peninsula.
The whales are late this year and scientists can't figure out why.
Some 24,000 gray whales migrate each winter from their feeding
grounds in the Bering Sea to calving lagoons off Mexico's Baja
Peninsula. But as of Friday, not a whale had been sighted. And it's
already a week past the latest date recorded for the start of the
annual southward migration.
"In the past, the whales have begun to show up around the first of
December -- certainly by the 10th," said Bruce Mate, an Oregon
State University professor affiliated with Oregon Sea Grant and one
of the world's leading marine mammal experts. "We've never seen a
migration begin this late."
For the first time since 1981, OSU researchers are attempting to
do an actual head count of whales passing the central Oregon coast.
>From a perch in the tower of the Yaquina Head lighthouse north of
Newport, OSU research assistant Amy Poff has been watching daily
since late November.
It took a while to notice the whales' tardiness. Weather has been
especially rough and stormy the first two weeks of December, and
it wasn't until early this week that things settled down to what
Mate calls "ideal whale-watching weather."
But there were still no whales to be seen. Mate's team even
borrowed an airplane and flew up and down the coast to 10 miles off
shore; they failed to find a single gray whale.
And now he's starting to get calls from scientists in Washington
and other Pacific states who've noticed the same phenomenon.
Mate, who has been studying gray whales for decades, probably knows
as much as anyone about their habits. But even he can't say what's
keeping the big mammals from heading south. It points out, he says,
just how little science really knows about what goes on in the sea.
"We had an El Nio last year, but we don't know if that affected
these animals. They're bottom feeders, and there could be some
change in the quantity or quality of the food they'd normally find
in the summer months in the Bering Sea -- we don't know.
"There's a growing discussion about a 'regime shift' in the
productivity of the Bering Sea, and of decade-level oscillations
in ocean productivity, but all this is just speculation where
whales are concerned -- I don't think you could call it even an
educated guess."
The late migration could have consequences for pregnant females who
normally would reach the warm, still lagoons of Baja in plenty of
time to bear their young. But just what those consequences might
be is anybody's guess. "We don't know whether the survival of
calves is any different if they're born in the lagoons or in the
open sea," Mate said. "The data just isn't there."
Mate fully expects the whales to start showing up soon, and
certainly in time for the annual Whale Watch Week, Dec. 26-Jan. 2.
He helped train more than 200 volunteers early this month to
explain the migration, whale biology and politics of whale
conservation to visitors at 30 whale-watching points the length of
the Oregon coast.
Meanwhile, Mate and his research assistant will keep an eye out for
the whales so they can begin to document this year's migration and
compare it to the 1979-81 survey.
"I expect there will be plenty of whales," Mate said. "I just wish
I could tell you when."
