Research Internships in Plant Ecology
Beginning November 2013 through February 2014 Ideal for Students with
Undergraduate Degrees Contemplating Graduate School
Includes independent research project. Provides Stipend, Room, and Board.
Internships at Archbold Biological Station in south-central Florida in the Plant Ecology Program. Interns will work in the plant ecology laboratory of Dr. Eric Menges, which emphasizes conservation biology, plant demography, restoration ecology, fire ecology, landscape ecology, and fire management. We study many species of endemic vascular plants in endangered Florida scrub and related communities. Active fire management provides utstanding opportunities for short-term comparative studies in fire ecology. Our long-term (as long as 25-year) datasets on dozens of scrub plants gives context to short-term, focused, field projects. A large-scale experimental restoration provides a useful context for restoration ecology projects.
