And it was identified early on as a  really important place for biodiversity.\u201d The term biodiversity is the  measurement of plant and animal species diversity in a given area.  Panama is what is called a biodiversity hotspot.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt has advantages in terms of being a setting  for a lot of important tropical ecology research,\u201d added Essner. \u201cIt\u2019s  also relatively close. So it\u2019s an opportunity within a short flight to  see one of the most bio-diverse places in the world.\u201d In addition to the  scientific advantages, there are also practical ones for conducting  research in Panama.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt also has some practical advantages because of  the American presence down there,\u201d said Minchin. \u201cFor example, they use  the same currency. They call it balboas but it\u2019s American dollars.\u201d The  Smithsonian station is on Barro Colorado Island, an island that was  formed after the Panama Canal was completed. It\u2019s fauna, Essner and  Minchin said, is incredible.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere have been some recent discoveries with  trail cameras,\u201d said Essner. Trail cameras automatically take photos  when animals come around. \u201cThey found some large felids like ocelots,  for example, that haven\u2019t been seen in a while. They also are doing some  work using telemetry and GPS units to track animals. They have got a  really neat array of stuff where they can track movements of species all  over the island.\u201d Telemetry involves placing a radio on animals so that  they can be tracked for research and conservation efforts. This  technique is now being used even with insects.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is a diversity of foreign fauna there,\u201d  said Essner. \u201cOne of the things we noticed when we were on Barro  Colorado was that we were seeing things there that you wouldn\u2019t see on  the mainland. Like little poison dart frogs that were historically  really common, but which have now been affected by fungi that have moved  through Panama and wiped out a lot of the diversity unfortunately.\u201d One  of the topics that students will learn about while visiting Panama will  be biogeography.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s all about what controls the diversity of  species on islands,\u201d explained Minchin. \u201cIt turns out that the area of  an island is important, and also its degree of oscillation. It\u2019s  basically about the balance between the arrival rate of species and the  local extinction rate. And both of those things depend on area, but they  also depend on distance.\u201d?Conservation on islands is extremely  important because usually the populations of plants and animals living  on those islands are endangered by the nature of the island. And the  smaller the island, usually the more fragile they are.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe smaller the island, usually the smaller the  population,\u201d said Minchin. \u201cSmall populations are intrinsically more at  risk. Also, predation and things like that are more effective. So if  introduced, predator species that arrive can wipe out several species  very quickly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Next year\u2019s trip will take place from mid-May to  early June. Both professors expect to take around a dozen students and  basically see most of the country. They plan to be in lowland  rainforest, around Panama City, move to an area that\u2019s a little dryer in  the central part of the country, and also visit some highland cloud  forest type habitats. In addition to nature studies, students will have  the chance to learn about the local culture.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeter has arranged for us to go on a tour of an  Embera village, one that I am really looking forward to,\u201d said Essner.  \u201cThat\u2019s an indigenous tribe on the Caribbean side. We have plans to go  on a dugout canoe trip up the Chagres River to visit this tribe with a  native guide. And you encounter indigenous people there selling items  that they hand make. Among my favorites are little statues that they  carve out of the native palm nut. They carve them really elaborately and  then they paint them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Students interested in participating in this trip  will not need too many prerequisites, academically speaking, according  to Minchin.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think we just set it to the first two  semesters of biology, biology 150 and biology 151. It would be of  benefit if they have had ecology, but we are not requiring it,\u201d he  added. They will be carrying with them standard field equipment used in  ecology, including trail cameras and night vision cameras to detect  animals that come around at night.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe may bait these so that we can draw in some  species we wouldn\u2019t see normally,\u201d said Essner, who quickly added that  the trip is not all about animals.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have some plans to do some vegetation work,  quantifying aspects of vegetation and habitat,\u201d he said. \u201cWe\u2019ll do  observational work, like point count surveys for birds, a standard  technique where you have an observer basically writing down all the  birds that they see. So they will use binoculars and spotting scopes.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here is a nice article that appeared in the campus newspaper at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville.
