Animal-Plant Interactions (Instructor: Dr. Paula Pebsworth)
31 May - 21 June 2015
Students will spend 3 weeks in South Africa studying the ecological interactions between plants and animals in a variety of habitats. Students will receive orientation, bush skills training, and background lectures at Loskop Dam Nature Reserve, where they will also learn and practice a number of field research techniques. Students will then continue with lectures, tutorials, and fieldwork at Leshiba Wilderness Reserve in the Soutpansberg Mountains. After spending time in the lush habitat of Leshiba, students will transfer to EcoTraining's Makuleke Camp. There, they will receive bush training from some of southern Africa's best field guide instructors as well as practice research skills with the instructor. Students will then travel to Blyde River Canyon where they will study the vegetation and wildlife of the world's largest green canyon.
Field Primatology (Instructor: Dr. Brandi Wren)
21 June - 12 July 2015
Students will travel South Africa for 3 weeks while learning about nonhuman primates and introductory research techniques for studying them. Students will learn how to collect systematic behavioral data and basic vegetation data. The course will begin with lectures, orientation, bush skills training, tutorials, and fieldwork at Loskop Dam Nature Reserve, where students will have access to habituated vervets as well as chacma baboons and lesser bushbabies. Students will then move to Leshiba Wilderness Reserve, where they will be able to study 5 nonhuman primate species: chacma baboons, vervet monkeys, samango monkeys, lesser bushbabies, and thick-tailed bushbabies. The course will then continue at EcoTraining's Makuleke Camp, in the true remote wilderness of northern Kruger National Park with impressive densities of monkeys, baboons, and bushbabies. Students will then visit another site with 5 nonhuman primate species, Blyde River Canyon Nature Reserve. From there, they will visit a number of nearby sites of interests.
