Primary Producers Espinosa Intricately branched, spiny shrub or small tree has no leaves. Thick, rigid, sharp branches perform photosynthesis. Is bluish gray-green in color and can grow up to 3 meters tall. Young branches are covered with very short, fine hairs. It posses deep roots able to draw waters deep from the soil. Chuparosa Palm-like shrub that grows in the southern deserts of the Mayan continent. It grows in dry, sandy plains.It is usually unbranched and has very long and wide leaves, which are flat and linear. It reaches heights of 2 meters. It grows a 5 to 8 centimeters long brown capsules that mature during summer, then split open and show small, black, thin, rough seeds. Salvia Joseta One the largest trees in the desert. This spike-leafed evergreen might reach heights of 12 meters and reach 1.5 meters in diameter. It produces an elliptical green-brown fruit that dries and falls after maturity revealing many flat seeds. It reproduces by pollination, which is produced by a special kind of moth. This moth is the only animal that visits this tree. Primary Consumers Arlitzo This small rodent-like animal lives in the desert areas of Laga, it is cold blooded and usually eats small plants and creatures. This animal is one of Liztuzo's main food sources. The Arlitzo weighs about 1 kilogram, which is pretty small. It survives by hiding itself in burrows it makes in the desert mountains. It eats 0.4 Kcal per day.

Return to Field Courses index. Introduction to Desert Ecology Click here to go to a directory of photos from various versions of this course. CLICK HERE to go to a directory of course materials. INSTRUCTORS: Paul Handford and Jane Bowles , U.W.O. DATES (approx.): We hope to leave London late April: as soon as all exams are finished. The last Western exam is on 30 April. THEREFORE ALL PLEASE CHECK YOUR EXAM SCHEDULES A.S.A.P. and do your best to take any late exams early. We will help in any way possible (letters, phone calls) to support your requests for early exams - just let us know. We shall return to London on 21 May. LOCATION: Mostly Arizona and s. California, U.S.A. COST: Can$1050 approx. Includes all costs but meals (usually works out to ~$250 more) PREREQUISITES: Completed 2nd. year, or introductory courses in ecology and in statistics. TETANUS SHOTS up to date. A SENSE OF HUMOUR comes in very useful. DESCRIPTION: One day at U.W.O. for orientation sessions; leave next day for U.S. southwest. Main theme is ecology of, and adaptations for life in, the American deserts, particularly the Sonoran Desert of Arizona. The class will spend ~18 days in the field visiting various sections of the Sonoran Desert learning the major elements of the vegetation and certain other aspects of the biota. The class will maintain individual Field Journals, to be handed in at the end of the course. There will be group and class research projects, to be written up later, more or less as a lab. report. All nights are spent in the field, except for the first and the last, which are spent on the freeway, as we drive continuously to and from the Denver, Colorado, region. You will need use of a tent, sleeping bag, foamy, canteen and eating tools: most meals are camp style except when we are doing serious travelling.

Home Birding Access updates Current RBA ... Institute of Desert Ecology Institute of Desert Ecology Information Tucson Audubon Society Institute of Desert Ecology registration form Since 1970, the Tucson Audubon Society’s Institute of Desert Ecology has brought together 60-65 participants and six expert instructors for field studies of the Sonoran Desert. The Institute will be held at Catalina State Park, at the base of the Santa Catalina Mountains, April 24-27, 2003. One unit of college credit may be earned. Dates: All participants are encouraged to set up camp on Wednesday, April 23 between 4 p.m. and 9 p.m. The Institute sessions begin on Thursday, April 24 at 6:30 a.m. Location: The site of the Desert Institute is Catalina State Park. The spectacular northwest face of the Santa Catalina Mountains forms the backdrop for this 5,500 acre desert park located just north of Tucson at elevations ranging from 2,650 to 3,000 feet. Desert washes, canyons and bajadas contain a vast array of desert plants and wildlife. The park is a popular birding area and has a bird list of over 150 species that have been seen within its borders. Our camping area is comfortably shaded by mesquite trees, adjacent to undisturbed desert washes, canyons, hillsides and rich riparian areas, and secluded from other campgrounds. Days should be sunny and hot, but expect chilly evenings.

Home Birding Access updates Current RBA ... Institute of Desert Ecology Reports on Past Institutes of Desert Ecology Tucson Audubon Society April, 2002 32nd Annual Institute of Desert Ecology In Catalina State park, where the Santa Catalina Mountains meet the Sonoran Desert, 62 participants came together with local experts for four intense days of learning and fun, April 18-21. Many IDE participants were local, but others came from as far away as Chinle, AZ, California, New Mexico and Connecticut to explore our desert's complexities and subtleties. The inspired teaching and hard work of volunteers and staff make this program an annual winner. See July's Flycatcher for a full report on this long-standing and renowned TAS program. April, 2001 IDE Report 31 Years of Inspiration Inspirational describes the effect of the Institute for Desert Ecology. In its 31st year, this program remains a sparkling gem that is polished by the experienced professionals and the enthusiastic attitudes of all those involved. Dr. Carl Tomoff, in his 21st year of IDE instruction, kicked off the Institute by presenting relationships between climate, land, water, flora, and fauna. Highlighting Sonoran Desert features coupled with unique adaptations of its inhabitants, Carl challenged us to stop, look, listen, and feel nature.

BIO 527 Field Biology Summer Intersession 2003 Desert Ecology This class will include an extended field trip to the Chihuahuan, Sonoran, Mojave, and Great Basin deserts. In addition to the opportunity to observe and compare the plants, animals, geography/geology, and cultures of these deserts, you will conduct independent research projects at each desert and compare the results. These projects can be in the areas of population ecology, community ecology, behavioral ecology, or physiological ecology, and can be on the plant/animal of your choice. You will help each other with projects, both diurnal and nocturnal; therefore, A class will be in session approximately 12 hours/day, 7 days/week (excluding transportation to/from sites). Attendance is mandatory: there are no make-up trips. We will have three introductory meetings before we depart, then pack up the vans and depart on Saturday, May 24th. We will return to Springfield on Sunday, June 8 th The exact itinerary for this trip (as best we can plan) is attached, but some flexibility may be necessary. GOALS: Become familiar with the fauna and flora of the desert southwest;
