The Bodega Marine Laboratory (BML), a research unit of the University of California, is situated on a 326 acre multi-habitat ecological reserve, part of the UC Natural Reserve System. For the past 20 years, researchers from throughout the UC system and elsewhere around the world have worked at BML on terrestrial and marine research topics. UC Davis is currently carrying out a major continuing commitment of support for BML both in terms of construction of new facilities and recruitment of new faculty and support staff. In addition, the Natural Reserve System is substantially increasing its support of BML. As a result, the number of current and proposed research projects utilizing the terrestrial portions of the Reserve has increased significantly. This proposal will facilitate three activities at BML: establishment of a surveyed, permanently marked and photo-mapped, standardized grid system; development and expansion of portable, microclimate datalogger monitoring stations; and renovation and expansion of an avian research laboratory. These improvements will facilitate studies of plant and insect community ecology, physiological ecology and ecological genetics of plants, avian ecology, competition, and plant-insect interactions.

博德加海洋实验室 (BML) 是加州大学的一个研究单位，坐落在占地 326 英亩的多生境生态保护区，是加州大学自然保护区系统的一部分。 在过去的 20 年里，来自加州大学系统和世界各地的研究人员在 BML 从事陆地和海洋研究课题。 加州大学戴维斯分校目前正在履行对 BML 的重大持续支持承诺，包括建设新设施以及招聘新教职员工和支持人员。 此外，自然保护区系统正在大幅增加对BML的支持。 因此，利用保护区陆地部分的当前和拟议研究项目的数量显着增加。 该提案将促进 BML 的三项活动：建立一个经过调查、永久标记和照片映射的标准化网格系统；开发和扩展便携式微气候数据记录仪监测站；以及鸟类研究实验室的翻新和扩建。 这些改进将促进植物和昆虫群落生态学、植物生理生态学和生态遗传学、鸟类生态学、竞争和植物与昆虫相互作用的研究。
