Still some openings in marine mammal programs at Shoals Marine Laboratory for Summer 2006
by William E. Bemis 19 May '06

19 May '06

As the new Director of Shoals Marine Laboratory (SML), I am working with Associate Director Jessica Bolker to spread the word about our college credit courses and other programs for Summer 2006. We are a small organization and we rely on word-of-mouth recruiting for our college credit courses and adult and family education programs. SML is based on 95-acre Appledore Island, 6 miles offshore from Portsmouth, New Hampshire (about one hour drive north from Logan Airport in Boston). The clean surrounding waters are teaming with life including seals, whales, lobsters and hundreds of species of fishes. We have worked hard to plan an exciting series of courses and programs for Summer 2006, and we still have openings in some courses of interest to MARMAM subscribers. J.B. Heiser (Cornell) will teach Marine Vertebrates (July 24 - August 14; 6 credits). This is the 20th year for Marine Vertebrates at SML, and leading authorities on fishes, marine birds and marine mammals of the Gulf of Maine will join J.B. for a very special version of this highly regarded course. J.B. also will lead a non-credit adult and family education course Marine Mammals of the Gulf of Maine (August 24 - August 27), in which participants will learn about the Gulf of Maine as a natural laboratory for the observation and study of seals, whales and dolphins. Although not focused on marine mammals, The Ecology of Animal Behavior (July 3 - July 17, 2006; 4 credits) is back again for Summer 2006. This highly regarded course offers intensive experience in behavioral ecology based on the many vertebrate and invertebrate species readily observable on Appledore. The Diversity of Fishes (June 5 - 26, 2006; 6 credits) will be taught again this summer by world famous ichthyologist Bruce Collette (NOAA/ Smithsonian), an authority on marine fishes and editor of The Fishes of the Gulf of Maine. Finally, Biological Illustration will be offered again this year (July 17 - July 24; 2 credits). It is nearly full, so send in your application now! We guarantee that everyone will find inspiring things to see, study, learn, describe, paint or photograph at SML. We would be delighted to have you, your family, your students or your friends enroll in these or other programs at SML. To learn more about the full range of opportunities at SML, please visit our website: http:// www.sml.cornell.edu/. Or call us at 607-255-3717. Sincerely, Willy William E. Bemis Kingsbury Director of Shoals Marine Laboratory and Professor of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology Cornell University, Ithaca, NY Jessica Jessica Bolker Associate Director of Shoals Marine Laboratory and Associate Professor of Zoology University of New Hampshire, Durham, NH

Dolphin Research Internships Dolphin Research Center (DRC) is currently accepting applications for Research Interns for the Fall term. DRC is a not-for-profit education and research facility, home to a family of Atlantic bottlenose dolphins and California sea lions. DRC is located on Grassy Key, in the heart of the Florida Keys. Internships at DRC are an exciting way to develop career skills as well as an opportunity to get "behind the scenes" to see how a marine mammal facility operates. Research interns participate in DRC's ongoing research projects, giving them broad exposure to a variety of research methodologies. Interns receive extensive on-the-job training in observing marine mammal behavior, collecting observational data, working with research equipment, and assisting with behavioral research sessions. In addition, educational opportunities are available such as informal journal article reviews and the development of personal learning objectives. Specific job duties include: * Collecting observational data * Preparing stimuli for behavioral research sessions * Assisting in setting up and tearing down equipment for behavioral research sessions * Operating video equipment * Entering data into the computer for analysis * General support of the facility through participation in the volunteer resource pool (facility maintenance, bird care, assisting with public programs, guest interactions, etc.) Research studies can vary widely in nature and availability. For information on past or current research projects at DRC, please visit our website, at www.dolphins.org <http://www.dolphins.org > . Publications: Jaakkola, K., Fellner, W., Erb, L., Rodriguez, A. M., & Guarino, E. (2005). Understanding the concept of numerically "less" by bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus). Journal of Comparative Psychology. Internships require a minimum of a 16-week commitment, 40 hours per week. The internship is unpaid, and interns are responsible for providing their own housing. DRC will provide assistance in locating housing and/or matching up interns and volunteers desiring roommates. Successful candidates will be ready and willing to learn, self-motivated, and flexible.

Information Inquiry re. Behavior Study
by Kim Jochum 16 May '06

16 May '06

Dear MARMAN Members, I am a German M.Sc. cand. student planning a behavior project with Falk Huettmann, Institute for Arctic biology, UAF on social mammals this summer and we are looking for cooperation. I hold a research visa for the US. Mainly our project is based on bear species, but we also want to include one ape (Alouatta palliata) and one whale species - using the same method. The bear research sights are pretty set up, but getting cooperation in observation on a whale species brings up some difficulties. What we are searching for: People doing field work on whales, Being able to observe more individuals (2-10) at a time for 4-6 hours a day, Space for one person (me) on the boat for approximately two weeks, A place to stay during that time. The best time frame for the field season would be end of June / July 2006. As this project is a pilot study, we don't depend on a special species so far. Further we don't have money to offer in exchange but we can offer shared data, sampling of additional data (e.g. as useful to other researchers or part of their ongoing program) and full acknowledgments in our forthcoming papers. I want to ask you kindly if you see a possibility in cooperation or if you know any options and possibilities to find good contacts for the Northern Pacific region. For more information please don't hesitate to contact me. I am looking forward to hear from you. Any suggestion will be an appreciated help to us. With best regards, Kim Jochum Kim Jochum M.Sc. cand.
