from the dept. Danta: Association for Conservation of the Tropics and its academic affiliates (State University of New York at Oneonta and East Stroudsburg University) are pleased to announce their summer 2008 tropical biology field courses. The courses are intended for undergraduates or early graduate level students who demonstrate a keen interest in tropical biology, but have little or no experience of working in a tropical environment. Participants may enroll on either a credit or non-credit basis. Credit can also be obtained through your home institution by way of independent study. All field courses are held at El Zota Biological Field Station in North-eastern Costa Rica near the Barro Colorado Reserve. The field station includes approximately 1000 hectares (over 2470 acres) of lush, tropical lowland rain forest. The station is among the largest of its kind in Costa Rica, and is home to a diverse array of wildlife. The fauna includes white-faced capuchins, mantled howling monkeys, black-handed spider monkeys, tapir, jaguar, collared peccary, keel-billed toucans, great green macaws, brown caimans just to name a few. The station is designed to allow students to learn techniques that can be used in field research on ecological, behavioral and conservation questions in the tropics, and in so doing, to conserve the property of the research station. Course Offerings:Primate Behavior and Conservation (June 9 – July 6, 2008). Instructors: Kim Dingess, State University of New York at Oneonta and Dr. Dawn Kitchen, Ohio State University Tropical Biology and Conservation (July 15 – August 11, 2008) Instructors: Dr. Nigel Mann, State University of New York at Oneonta , Dr. Thomas LaDuke, East Stroudsburg University, and Dr. Steffen Reichle, The Nature Conservancy Ecotravel Experience (July 7 – July 14) For more information, please visit our website at www.DANTA.info or email kdingess@danta.info. < Research Assistant Position | Visiting Position in Psychology >
