Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Have you got the proper documentation to study the two species at risk and one specially protected reptile?

That's good. Please forgive my questions, but this is a public forum and anyone can come on here asking for location information (incidentally, no responsible person would post such information regarding at risk species on a public forum). I would love to help you but you should be contacting people directly through Environment Canada, CWS and other avenues (or having a look at the research being done at surrounding universities and contacting the researchers). Do the USFWS really support your soliciting this type of information on a public forum? This seems quite unorganized (sponsoring a project that entails the collection of location information on public forums). The USFWS have plenty of contacts with herpetologists in Canada and I am sure your superiors could supply you with this information. If you would like to send me your research plan and supporting documents (research permits, etc.) then I would be happy to help you out.
My e-mail is boltonr@uoguelph.ca
Cheers.

F&ws is not really sponsoring this project, the Mohawk tribe is. What I'm trying to make is contacts. There will be only 2or3 persons working on this. I am not looking for more staff rather info or hints to make my task easier. Sorry if I did not make myself clear. I have been on the Brooks Lab web site.

My apologies, I realize now that you didn't ask for location information. I assumed that the comments and suggestions you were looking for were the locations of populations to survey. If you have specific comments regarding methodology or anything else then please ask. Though, again, this might not be the best place to find this kind of information.
Cheers,
Ryan

Sorry but it sounds like a load of Bull to me. First US fish and wildlife is sponsoring the study and then it's sponsored by the Mohawk tribe. Sounds more like someone fishing for population locales in order to collect. If it was legit US Fish and Wildlife or Wildlife Canada would be more than happy to help and you wouldn't be fishing on line.

That's where my mistrust lies as well. I am more than happy to work with USFWS supported researchers (the USFWS has been more than accommodating when I am on the other side of the border) but they need to come through the proper channels (through my lab or CWS - not an internet forum...).
