Like the previous one, this photo of a red brocket deer with a fawn provides information about the timing of breeding and birthing events as well as parental behavior. National Zoo scientists set up camera traps in a remote section of the Amazon rain forest to gather data about the variety of species that inhabit it.

Because a combination of body heat and movement trigger the cameras , all warm-blooded animals can be photographed. This means a large snake or lizard (cold-blooded animals) will pass unnoticed by the camera but birds are commonly photographed. This Salvin’s curassow is a prized game bird, and its populations are therefore declining throughout most of its range. Its presence in a forest is often a sign of a lack of significant human presence.

Although adult lowland tapirs are uniformly gray, their young have a striking pattern of white spots and stripes. These quiet, shy animals eat mostly grass and woody vegetation as well as fruits. Individuals communicate with loud high-pitched whistles. Like the giant armadillo, this species is rare or extirpated from heavily hunted areas.

We’re heading out again!!

SOCCOM is gearing up for another voyage to the Southern Ocean this December! Come along for the ride and get updates on our floats and all the science in the Southern Ocean. If you’d like to bring our project into your classroom, hit us up!

We are happy to announce our participation in the upcoming Open House Day of the Faculty of Biology of the University of Munich, on 9th of July 2015. After last year’s great success, we will host our interactive booth on phylogeny and evolution, again. We will ask the visitors to guess the evolutionary relationships between various species and surprise them with the results based on genetic similarity. Pupils, potential students, neighboring residents and all interested citizens are welcome to learn about our work and what the faculty has to offer. As last year, we will use the opportunity to be Marie-Curie ambassadors and promote INTERCROSSING.

Munich is one of the main locations of our network, hosting two ESRs. Two of us did their undergraduate studies at the LMU and were recruited there for the INTERCROSSING project. Our strategy workshop in 2013 partly took place in Munich, including the essential progress committee meetings with our PIs. Four ESRs have spent at least three month of their secondments at the LMU.

We are presenting our results currently at our self-organised achievement meeting. We are enlightened to name Will Spooner, Brian Charlesworth, and Nathaniel Street as external speakers. The supervisors are listening critically.
