[ECOLOG-L] Flowchart of intellectual influencers and connections of significant ecologists

[Jorge A. Santiago-Blay]

Dear Colleagues:

Does anyone knows of a flowchart of intellectual influencers and
connections of significant ecologists?

Background: This morning, as I waited to speak with a friend, I flipped
through the pages of a history book. I wondered whether there is a
flowchart connecting key ecologists intellectually (I have seen an
intellectual genealogy of this sort for geneticists - pre-1950's). But what
I am looking for is *not* only intellectual connections but connections
with non-ecologists and non-scientists (e.g. with influential people in
society).

If you have a constructive suggestion, please email me directly at

blayjo...@gmail.com

Gratefully,

Jorge

[ECOLOG-L] Ph.D. position linking sub-lethal stressors to vital rates and population abundance

[David Inouye]

*The University of Montana; PhD position linking sub-lethal stressors to 
vital rates and population abundance*



**

The Breuner lab at the University of Montana in Missoula is looking to 
recruit a Ph.D. student in a collaborative project with Dr. Blake 
Hossack at USGS.



Dr. Breuner and Dr. Hossack have funding to support a PhD project 
examining the effects of brine contamination in wetlands from energy 
development in the northern Great Plains. The student’s research will 
complement existing USGS research projects on the effects of brine 
contamination on amphibian communities, but the student will have 
latitude to design their own questions focused around amphibian stress 
physiology and toxicology, habitat use, and survival or reproductive 
success. Applicants with experience in physiological ecology and/or 
population modeling techniques are encouraged to apply.



The PhD position is set up as half-time RA and half-time TA, and has 
funding for summer support and lab expenses.



The University of Montana is home to a strong collection of faculty 
researching wildlife biology, ecology and evolution. The Wildlife 
Biology program is an independent graduate program comprised of faculty 
from Biology, Forestry, and the Cooperative Wildlife Research Unit. We 
have recently been ranked the top Wildlife Biology Program in the 
country. Missoula is a great college town in the heart of the Northern 
Rocky Mountains.



For more information on the Breuner lab please 
visit:breunerlab.squarespace.com . 
For information on Blake Hossack’s research, visit 
https://www.usgs.gov/staff-profiles/blake-hossack.


Interested students are encouraged to email Dr. Breuner 
(creagh.breu...@umontana.edu) and Dr. Hossack (blake_hoss...@usgs.gov). 
Please include a brief description of your research interests and a CV 
in your email. Note that applications for Fall 2017 admission to the 
Wildlife Biology program must be submitted by January 15^th at the latest.
