I seek 1-2 field volunteers to work on behavioral research projects in Panama as part of a larger study on how habitat characteristics influence social structure and reproductive dynamics lek-mating Red-capped Manakins (Ceratopipra mentalis). Fieldwork will include mist-netting and banding birds, re-sighting color-marked birds, and behavioral observations and experiments at male leks. Half the work will take place on Pipeline Rd in Soberania National Park and the other half will occur across the Isthmus of Panama. Field crew will live in Gamboa, Panama. This work is in collaboration with the University of Wyoming and the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute. Start date: March 1st, 2016.
End date: April 15th, 2016 (end date flexible).
