MS Assistantships in Bat Ecology, Conservation, and Management. Position Description: MS research assistantships available for two projects studying bat ecology and management in Great Smoky Mountains National Park (GRSM), Tennessee.
The projects are as follows: Project 1) Use and selection of anthropogenic structures by bats as summer roosts. During the summer, employees and visitors to GSMNP report seeing or coming into contact with bats roosting in anthropogenic structures (i.e., buildings), increasing the risk of zoonotic disease transmission.

About Us The Department of Biological Sciences contributes to the mission of ISU with an emphasis on: advancing scholarly endeavors through discovery and the creation of new knowledge, foundational biological education for the health professions, providing a diverse array of courses and majors for students in the life sciences, and educator preparation.
The faculty is dedicated to excellence in teaching, including engaging students at all levels in sustained, significant research. Our objectives are to promote a culture that recognizes excellence in education and research and to prepare students for advanced studies in the life sciences, including ecological, evolutionary, organismal, microbiological, and biomedical research; admission to medical, dental, veterinary, and other health professional programs; and professional opportunities in government, industry, and education. Sarah Benson-Amram - Research. General Interests I am interested in understanding the evolution of complex cognitive abilities in animals, in investigating what animals know about their social and ecological environments, and in asking how animals use this knowledge and their ability to learn about their environments in adaptive ways.
Aside from being fundamentally interested in these questions, I also think that questions about animal cognition are particularly relevant in today's rapidly changing world. More than ever, animals need to be able to quickly adapt to new conditions and deal with novel challenges. Reptile and amphibian conservation. Reptile and Amphibian Conservation Biology Thomas P.
Wilson, Ph.D. Research Interests I am passionate about working with students so they can become independent scientists and forward thinkers. I am a broadly trained scientist who holds advanced degrees in Zoology, Environmental Science and Public Policy, and a certification as a Geographic Information Systems Professional (GISP). Researchers use solar power to study wild elephants in Africa. By Mark Shwartz Peter Zielyk, Flipside Creative A team of elephant researchers from Stanford University has transformed a remote corner of southern Africa into a high-tech field camp run entirely on sunlight.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. --- Overhunting has been disastrous for elephants, but their forest habitats have also been caught in the crossfire.
A first-of-its-kind study led by researchers at the University of Florida shows that the dramatic loss of elephants, which disperse seeds after eating vegetation, is leading to the local extinction of a dominant tree species, with likely cascading effects for other forest life. Their work shows that loss of animal seed dispersers increases the probability of tree extinction by more than tenfold over a 100-year period. “The entire ecosystem is at risk,” said Trevor Caughlin, a UF postdoctoral student and National Science Foundation fellow. “My hope for this study is that it will provide a boost for those trying to curb overhunting and provide incentives to stop the wildlife trade.” The team looked specifically at seed dispersal and how elephants contribute to moving the seeds around the forest. Caughlin spent three years gathering tree data in Thailand. Effects of poaching on African elephants.
The gruesome reality of poaching.Photo by Karl Ammann Poaching caused a decline of African elephants from 1.3 million to 600,000 individuals between 1979-1987.
Mortality was unusually concentrated among the largest adults with the biggest tusks. Old matriarchs (the oldest adult females that provide the social glue in elephant herds) were particularly vulnerable. Their tusks are large and their groups were easier to find than solitary adult males. Many family groups lost their matriarchs, compromising their social, competitive and physiological functioning. Objectives We examined long-term impacts of poaching on elephants of the Mikumi-Selous Ecosystem, Tanzania—one of the largest and most heavily poached elephant populations on the continent prior to the 1989 ivory ban.

Formerly known as the Elephant Research Foundation LibraryA Web Site Dedicated to Elephant Research, Study and Enjoyment The Jeheskel (Hezy) Shoshani Library Endowed Collection (formerly known as the Elephant Research Foundation Library, or ERFL) is a diverse collection of information and display resources about elephants and their relatives both past and present and can be searched in the WSULS Online Catalog.
