2017 WINTER COURSE ANNOUNCEMENT (Dec. 20-Jan. 9)<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
FIELD COURSE IN PRIMATE ECOLOGY AND BEHAVIOR (PRE W-17)<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
COURSE LOCATION: Bocas del Toro Biological Station, Boca del Drago, Isla<br>
Colon, Republic of Panama. The biological station is located on a beach<br>
facing the Caribbean Sea. Coral reef and seagrass ecosystems lie out in<br>
front of the station and lowland tropical rain forests lie directly behind.<br>
This juxtaposition of the two most biologically diverse ecosystems provides<br>
tremendous opportunities for education and research. See for<br>

<br>
COURSE DESCRIPTION: The purpose of this course is to give the student a<br>
foundation in primate ecology, primate behavior, field techniques and<br>
analytical tools in a tropical setting. The material covered is equivalent<br>
to a university upper level field course in primate ecology. The course is<br>
divided into five distinct components: classroom lectures, classroom<br>
presentations by students (based on assigned readings), discussions and<br>
exercises in the field, one written exam, and one individual project based<br>
on data collection techniques learned in the field and in the classroom.<br>
During the first few days students will become familiar with the many<br>
ecosystems found in our area and with the trail systems during ?orientation?<br>
walks. The bulk of the first 10 days will be spent learning field<br>
techniques and carrying out various group projects or exercises. Midway<br>
through the course the entire station community will take a 3-day field trip<br>
to cloud forests of Boquete (see details below). On returning to the field<br>
station, students work on their individual research projects. Towards the<br>
end of the course students will analyze their data, write a technical report<br>
and present their findings orally during a station-wide symposium.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Lectures/Readings. There will be lectures on ecological concepts, primate<br>
ecology, primate behavior, field techniques, behavioral sampling techniques,<br>
and analytical tools. Readings corresponding to lecture topics will be<br>
assigned from selected papers.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Required Textbooks. Karen B. Strier (2010). Primate Behavioral Ecology, 4th<br>
edition. Prentice Hall. A set of papers derived from articles or book<br>
chapters will also be provided during the course.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Group Field Exercises. Students will learn the following field techniques,<br>
which will assist them in setting up their own independent field project:<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
-Constructing habitat profiles<br>
<br>
-Plant phenology profiles<br>
<br>
-GPS exercise (Garmin 12XL)<br>
<br>
-Behavioral observations (behavioral sampling techniques)<br>
<br>
-Statistics (SPSS)<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Individual Research Projects. With the assistance of the instructor, each<br>
student will develop and carry out their own field research project on a<br>
topic of their choice. Each topic must be approved by the instructor prior<br>
to beginning data collection. Each student will be required to write a<br>
research proposal, collect and analyze their data, write up their findings,<br>
and present their results to the class. A text about the art of publishing<br>
will be provided.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Grading. Up to 6 units of credit will be given, 3 for the lecture portion<br>
and 3 for the field portion. A letter grade will be assigned based on exams,<br>
reports, proposals, attendance at lectures, as well as by less tangible such<br>
as personal attitude, motivation, and contribution to the course. A letter<br>
reporting a grade will be made available to the student?s institution. The<br>
student will be responsible for providing direct evidence of participation<br>
(e.g., lecture notes, reports, exams, etc.).<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Course Schedule. The course schedule will be determined on site as a<br>
function of student needs and preferences. It might be also<br>
weather-dependent. Contact Dr. Houle for course details.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
BOQUETE CLOUD FOREST FIELD TRIP: This field trip will allow students the<br>
opportunity to visit other areas of Panama, to experience Panamanian<br>
culture, and to visit tropical cloud and seasonal forests first hand. We<br>
travel in ITEC boats to the mainland and then by chartered bus to Boquete<br>
which lies at the base of 11,000 ft Volcan Baru. The bus trip will take us<br>
up and over the central mountain range and through Palo Seco National Park.<br>
Several stops will be made in route.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
COURSE LENGTH: ITEC Winter field courses are about three weeks in length.<br>
The PRE W-17 will run from December 20, 2017 through January 9, 2018.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
TUITION: $2150 USD. Tuition fee includes all lodging, meals and airport<br>
transfers in Bocas del Toro. The tuition also covers transportation and<br>
lodging during the 3-day cloud forest field trip on the mainland.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
REGISTRATION DEADLINE: November 20, 2017. The course is limited to 10<br>
students and applications will be evaluated as they arrive. Applications<br>

We are noticing some white crystal like growth on plastinated human body parts on display. The objects are sealed in small acrylic vitrines in a gallery which experiences seasonal RH shifts (down to 20% in the winter and up to 60% in the summer) and relatively stable temperature around 70F.<br>
The worst growth is on a rib with cartilage attached. There is also growth on a plastinated heart.<br>
The tissues were prepared at the University of Michigan 15-20 years ago, presumably with silicone.<br>
Has anyone had an issue like this? I plan to clean it off with water dampened swabs, but I'd like to see if there is a way to prevent it from happening again.<br>
Thanks,<br>

Subject: [Nhcoll-l] White crystals on plastinated tissue<br>
<br>
We are noticing some white crystal like growth on plastinated human body parts on display. The objects are sealed in small acrylic vitrines in a gallery which experiences seasonal RH shifts (down to 20% in the winter and up to 60% in the summer) and relatively stable temperature around 70F.<br>
The worst growth is on a rib with cartilage attached. There is also growth on a plastinated heart.<br>
The tissues were prepared at the University of Michigan 15-20 years ago, presumably with silicone.<br>
Has anyone had an issue like this? I plan to clean it off with water dampened swabs, but I'd like to see if there is a way to prevent it from happening again.<br>
Thanks,<br>
Rebecca<br>
