Hello List Members: I am soliciting your interest to collaborate on a PVA paper. I have been collecting data on populations of Critically Endangered Gyps Vultures since 2002. Since the past few years, I have been thinking of writing a paper on population viability analysis, but now I am committed to it. I know something about theory behind the PVA, but I need some help in actually doing the analysis with some software programs. This is the reason I am writing to you.
If any of you are interested in allocating some time to teach me how to run the analysis and co-authoring the manuscript, please reply me off list. My rough estimate is that the prospective collaborator should aim to allocate around 10 hours of time. I would take the lead in all aspects of the manuscript preparation. We can discuss more about the project and procedures via email. The ideal collaboarator would be someone who has already published at least one manuscript on PVA. Thank you for your response. Sincerely, Nabin Baral, PhD Blacksburg, Virginia 24060
