Ecology of neotropical rainforest birds With the increasing pressures being put on the rainforests it is essential that as much information as possible is gathered about the organisms which inhabit these areas. I took part in a long-term capture-recapture study of birds in the Northern Range Mountains of Trinidad between 1988 and 1996 and conducted a smaller study in the south of the island between 1999 and 2001. I hope to return to the island in the near future to follow -up the two studies. I am currently conducting capture-recapture studies of birds at two locations in Ecuador, one in cloud forest at Otonga Reserve in the Cotopaxi Region, the other in varzea and terre-firme forest at Sumaco National Reserve in the Oriente Region. The Sumaco Reserve has never previously been studied and as well as the capture-recapture study I am conducting a basic census of the area using a combination of mist netting, observation and sound recording. Ecology of the Ring Ouzel Turdus torquatus The ring ouzel is a little studied species of migratory upland thrush, which in many areas of its range is in decline. My colleague David Arthur of the Tay Ringing Group has been studying a population of the birds in Glenesk since the 1980's. Numbers in the Glenesk population have been stable over the study period and we are attempting to identify the factors that have allowed this stability. Damselfly foraging behaviour Dragonflies and damselflies are large, spectacular insects and amongst the most ancient of flying insects. The larval stages are voracious and aggressive aquatic predators demonstrating many complex interactions with conspecifics and other organisms. I study these interactions in laboratory conditions by manipulating factors such as diet and presence or absence of other organisms
