Behavior: July 20-August 14 Nicaragua
In this course, we will examine the rich diversity of animal behavior on the tropical island of Ometepe in Lake Nicaragua. Lectures and daily excursions will be used to demonstrate the spatial and foraging ecology, communication, reproductive strategies, and conservation of invetebrate and vertebrate species, with an emphasis on reptiles and amphibians. Major objectives of this course will be for students to learn: 1) ethological methods for observing, quantifying, and analyzing behavior in the field, and 2) how to form hypotheses that will be tested through observation and experimentation during independent student projects. Humans,
Tropical Ecosystems and the Conservation of Bird Diversity: June 22
to July 17 Nicaragua
The dramatic effect of human agricultural and industrial development on animal and plant diversity is most dramatically evident in tropical ecosystems and their associated rich biodiversity. Among animal groups, the effect of human development is particularly easy to study in birds and primates because of their species diversity in the tropics, their esthetic appeal and the ability to observe them easily. This course will explore the effects of land use patterns and the creation of patchy environments on species structure and community organization in a number of different tropical ecosystems. The intent of the course is to provide students with a better understanding of the delicate co-evolutionary relationship between humans and animals, in particular birds and primates, in the stunning tropical setting of Nicaragua. Biological
Illustration: June 22 to July 17 Nicaragua
An introduction to drawing biological subject matter under field conditions using easily transported materials. Emphasis will be on realistic drawing, and observation with attention to identification detail. There will be classroom sessions on drawing cubioid, ovoid and spherical shapes in perspective, light, shade and gesture drawing. These skills will be translated to field drawings to record specimens and environments. Medicinal
Plants of the Neotropics: May 25 to June 19 Nicaragua and Costa Rica
Learn to identify the plants used by natives of Central America and how they are used to combat illness. The course will include both ethnochemistry and ethnobotany. Field work will consist of the exploration of the island of Ometepe, which was an intercultural meeting place for shamans from the Mayans and Incas, and of the rain forest at the La Suerte Biological Field Station.
