LDWF Internship - Waterfowl
nesting ecology, and mourning dove trapping and banding
Location: Rockefeller Wildlife Refuge, Grand
Chenier, Louisiana
Supervisor: Joseph Marty
Funding Source: Rockefeller Trust Fund
Number of Interns: 2
Background: Rockefeller Wildlife Refuge (RWR)
is a 71,000-acre refuge managed by the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and
Fisheries. Biologists have deployed
artificial nest boxes and artificial nests throughout RWR and surrounding
private lands in an attempt to evaluate breeding ecology of black-bellied
whistling ducks (BBWD) and predator communities for mottled ducks (MODU). Additionally,
a national dove banding program was initiated in 2003 by the United States Fish
and Wildlife Service in conjunction with many state wildlife management
agencies. This program aids in understanding mourning dove populations and
biology.
Project Scope: The student interns will work full
time to conduct an evaluation of artificial nest box use by BBWD and other
wildlife species on RWR. The student interns will monitor nests by conducting periodic
box checks, while also banding incubating birds. The interns will gain
experience with survey design and implementation, egg candling, and other
skills critical to the field of wildlife management. Additionally, the interns will
assist in evaluating the MODU nest predator community in southwest Louisiana. Artificial
nests will be monitored with trail cameras and periodic nest checks.
Rockefeller Wildlife
Refuge staff band several hundred mourning doves annually. The interns will
have many functional roles with the mourning dove banding program including,
but not limited to: preparing banding sites, setting and monitoring traps,
baiting traps, banding, sexing, and ageing doves, data entry, and other related
duties as assigned.
The
interns must be able to work long and irregular hours (pre-dawn and post-dusk
daily). The interns must be willing to work in extreme heat and humidity and be
able to tolerate mosquitoes and other biting insects while working in the
field. The interns must be able to take detailed notes for data collection and
be proficient with Microsoft Excel. The interns will compose a nest summary and
banding season report and will present a poster at the Louisiana Association of
Professional Biologists Symposium in August.
Timing: 11 May–14 August 2020 (flexible
beginning and end dates)
Housing: Rockefeller Wildlife Refuge will
provide housing
Compensation: College credit will be contingent
upon university approval. Students receive financial compensation at the rate
of $10/hr.
Application deadline: April 3, 2020

LDWF Internship - Using satellite
telemetry data to investigate seasonal movements and habitat preference of
reddish egrets
Location: Rockefeller Wildlife Refuge, Grand
Chenier, Louisiana
Supervisor: Phillip Vasseur
Funding Source: State Wildlife Grant and Rockefeller
Trust Fund
Number of Interns: 1
Background: The Reddish Egret (Egretta rufescens; REEG) is listed as
critically imperiled in Louisiana and vulnerable to extirpation according to
the state’s Wildlife Action Plan. It is the rarest of the egrets and herons in
North America and is a species of conservation concern throughout much of its
range. The number of breeding REEG has declined over the past decade in
Louisiana, which currently comprises an estimated 4% of the total U.S. breeding
population. Biologists with the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries
at Rockefeller Wildlife Refuge initiated a REEG research project to study
various aspects of the species’ biology, nesting behavior, and habitat use to
prioritize conservation actions. Beginning in 2016, satellite transmitters were
deployed on several adults to better understand their survival, movements, and
habitat use. The GPS data collected from satellite transmitters will enable
researchers, for example, to identify important stopover sites as well as critical
wintering and foraging areas.
Project Scope: The student intern will primarily
be responsible for maintaining a database of GPS locations and using GIS
software and other computer programs to map areas utilized by Reddish Egrets.
Mapping will consist of generating polygons to delineate natural wetlands and
manmade (i.e., dredge spoil) habitats typically used as foraging sites. In
addition, the intern will evaluate the GPS data collected during the breeding season
to estimate nesting activity from initiation to fledging. The student intern
will preferably be proficient with Microsoft Excel and have some experience
with Google Earth or ArcGIS software. While this internship will primarily be
conducted in an office setting, there will be several opportunities for the
intern to assist with field projects taking place on Rockefeller Wildlife
Refuge. Therefore, a successful candidate must be willing to work long and
irregular hours in extreme heat and humidity and be able to tolerate mosquitoes
and other biting insects while working in the field. At the end of the summer,
the student intern will compose a summary report and will present a scientific
poster at the Louisiana Association of Professional Biologists Symposium in
August.
Timing: 11 May – 14 August 2020 (flexible
beginning and end dates)
Housing: Rockefeller Wildlife Refuge will
provide housing
Compensation: College credit will be contingent
upon university approval. Students receive financial compensation at the rate
of $10/hr.

LDWF INTERNSHIP
- Frog Vocalization Data Analysis
Location: Lafayette, LA
Supervisor: Chuck Battaglia, LDWF Lafayette
Office
Application
Deadline: April
3, 2020
Background: The mission of the Louisiana
Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF) Office of Wildlife is to provide
wise stewardship of the state’s wildlife and habitats, to maintain
biodiversity, including plant and animal Species of Greatest Conservation Need
(SGCN), and to provide outdoor opportunities for present and future generations
to produce a greater appreciation of the natural environment. Habitat
degradation and fragmentation, among other stressors, continue to cause
declines in amphibian populations nationwide; therefore, it is critical to
monitor the status of SGCN in this group. The status and trends of several
amphibian SGCN in Louisiana is unknown, and presence/absence and population
data for these species are lacking, particularly for Southern Crawfish Frog (Lithobates areolatus areolatus), Dusky
Gopher Frog (Lithobates sevosus),
Ornate Chorus Frog (Pseudacris ornata),
Strecker’s Chorus Frog (Pseudacris
streckeri), Eastern Spadefoot (Scaphiopus
holbrookii), and Hurter’s Spadefoot (Scaphiopus
hurterii). LDWF has recently conducted statewide surveys for these species
on private lands using automated recording units (ARUs), also called frog-loggers,
to document vocalizations of the aforementioned anurans.
Project Scope: The student intern will
contribute to a project designed to address the lack of inventory and
monitoring data for anuran SGCN. Data have been collected using ARUs across the
state at historically occupied sites and at new, potentially occupied sites selected
based on habitat availability. The student will analyze the collected call data
to identify all vocalizations and to potentially make inferences about how
seasonal dynamics affect vocalization frequency of the recorded species. This
internship will be based out of the LDWF Lafayette Office. The preferred start
date is May 18, 2020 and the end date is August 21, 2020. The start and end
dates are flexible, depending on the selected candidate’s schedule.
Timing:
May 18 –
August 21, 2020; Full time (40 hours/week) (flexible beginning and end dates)
Compensation: College credit will be
contingent upon university approval. Student intern will receive paid compensation
at the rate of $10.00/hour.
Housing: N/A
Note: The successful candidate will
have previous, working knowledge of Louisiana frog calls or demonstrate a
strong desire and ability to proficiently learn these calls as part of this
internship.
