Ecologgers,
I have a master's student who is examining thermal preferences of two
species of scorpions in the Sky Islands of southeastern Arizona. She has
gathered some field temperature data as part of her thesis, but we are
unsure how best to analyze the data (or perhaps more specifically,
To all,
This is a bit outside of ecology, but I'm hoping someone can help answer
a question. Our department is in the process of looking for a geneticist
(very broadly defined, so it could be population, molecular,
developmental, etc.), and we plan on advertising in the usual places
such as
Hello,
I am looking for a spad meter to measure chlorophyll content for a small
undergraduate project. Please let me know if you have a used one for sale at a
reasonable price (and by this I mean cheap) or one not being used that a
poor, small college might be able to borrow.
Thanks,
William and others,
Personally, I think that the answer to the question Is all data

book/article title ever? Slightly yet unintentionally erotic as well, and the
fact that it was written by Spoo just adds to the awesomeness!

Alisha,
One thing that has not been mentioned re: a graduate student's worth to
a university relates to their FTE (full-time equivalent) hours. At our
university, each credit hour for a grad student is weighted more heavily
than an undergraduate credit hour. Working from memory (I'm lazy
today!),
To all,
I'd like to thank everyone who sent in suggestions for marking green
salamanders so as to identify individuals during filmed encounters. I've
summarized the suggestions below and indicated our plans, for those
interested.
Four people suggested using dorsal patterns, either through

As it so happens, a message close to yours in my email folder was from a
review I did for American Naturalist. As part of the message from the
editor is the line Please keep all reviews, including your own,
confidential. Thus, at least for Am Nat, it appears that the reviews

My graduate student and I are attempting to temporarily mark individuals
for an intraspecific competition experiment in the green salamander
Aneides aeneus. These are being filmed under red light to simulate
nocturnal conditions. Nearly all the marking techniques I know of or
