Bodega Marine Reserve: Grid System, Microclimate Stations, Avian Research Laboratory

博德加海洋实验室（BML）是美国海军的一个研究单位， 加州大学，坐落在一个326英亩的多栖息地 生态保护区，UC自然保护区系统的一部分。 为 在过去的20年里，来自整个UC系统的研究人员和 在世界其他地方， 海洋研究课题。 加州大学戴维斯分校目前正在进行一项 继续支持BML的主要承诺， 建设新的设施和招聘新的教师和 支助人员。 此外，自然保护区系统是 大大增加了对BML的支持。 结果导致 目前和拟议的研究项目数目 保护区的陆地部分显著增加。 该提案将促进BML的三项活动： 建立一个经过测量、永久标记和照片制图的 标准化网格系统;便携式， 小气候数据记录仪监测站; 扩建鸟类研究实验室。 这些改进 将促进植物和昆虫群落生态学的研究， 植物生理生态学和生态遗传学，鸟类 生态学、竞争和植物-昆虫相互作用。

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.
