Fauna Forever, a non-profit organization based in Peru, is now recruiting student interns and volunteers who have a passion for the humid tropics to assist with its Amazon rainforest-based wildlife research and conservation projects in the Madre de Dios region of Peru.
At this time, we are particularly keen to hear from students who are looking for a worthwhile research topic and/or an appropriate field site in the Amazon rainforest for their thesis or dissertation project requirements. Professional supervision and mentoring is provided by qualified biologists and conservation practitioners, as well as research permits where required. If this sounds like you, then please visit our website and review our list of priority research projects that we’d like to undertake with your help:
https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.faunaforever.org_thesis-2Dproject-2Dindependent-2Dresearch&d=DwIBaQ&c=nE__W8dFE-shTxStwXtp0A&r=Znw7vQJ85zwmeBWJKUyE3A&m=hFMSUo3ypVBukPkIdp87fqXKxDq2zsj0DhdRsrmE2Cg&s=5MrIlK7l0AbERKaM2AG3Nv47CqaVAMK3dNE9IUzPkgY&e=
A few of the research questions listed at this link include:
MAMMALS
>To what extent does primate group size and home-range size vary with forest type and fruit resource composition and availability in Amazonian Peru?
>What do seed/fruit removal experiments tell us about the composition of mammal communities within and between sites in Amazonian Peru?
BIRDS
>How do the characteristics (species composition, abundance, home-range size) of mixed-species bird flocks differ between forest types in Amazonian Peru?
>How does the diversity and abundance of nocturnal raptors (Strigidae), based on transect and call-count station sampling methods, differ between sites in Amazonian Peru?
HERPETOFAUNA (amphibians and reptiles)
>How does the abundance of Dwarf caiman (Paleosuchus sp.) vary between forest streams and main river channels in Amazonian Peru, and what stream/river characteristics help explain any variation observed?
>Are there behavioral and/or habitat differences between populations of each color morph of the Crested forest toad complex (Rhinella margaritifera) and the Adenomera frog complex in Amazonian Peru?
INVERTEBRATES
>Is there a relationship between dung-beetle biomass and mammal biomass in Amazonian Peru?
>How does the variation in arthropod size affect the rate of mass loss of carrion (decomposing meat) in different forest types in Amazonian Peru?
>What is the rate of mass loss of dead woody material as a consequence of termites and fungi in Amazonian Peru?
BOTANY
>What is the relationship between the abundance of key-stone fruiting tree species and the abundance of fruit-eating mammal and bird species in Amazonian Peru?
>How and why does the size distribution of big trees (e.g. Dipteryx, Bertholletia, Ceiba, and Ficus) differ between forest plots in conservation areas, as compared to timber concessions, and close to local communities in Amazonian Peru?
Note: Successful candidates are expected to cover their in-country costs associated with meals, accommodation, and local transport.
My team and I look forward to hearing from those people interested in undertaking one or more of these projects starting in 2019.
