In the area of Animal Physiology, fundamental research tools are a computer-recorder system and a storage oscilloscope for monitoring physiological functions and changes. In Animal Behavior and Ornithology a storage oscilloscope has become the standard tool for displaying and analyzing an array of animal vocalizations. In both areas there are many experiments that help to elucidate important concepts that cannot be done without these instruments. The purchases made possible through this grant are enlarging this Department's capacity to train undergraduates in these areas. The importance of these additions stems from the fact that, over recent years, research in Physiology and Animal Behavior has become increasingly dependent on high-technology equipment. As usage of this type of equipment has become a matter of course in research laboratories, it has become essential for instructional purposes as well. Students must be introduced to equipment that is used routinely to gather data if they are to become familiar with and eventually to evaluate concepts developed as a result of that experimentation. Likewise, their potential as research scientists is enhanced by a working familiarity with the methodologies that are used widely in current research.

在动物生理学领域，基础研究工具是 计算机记录器系统和用于监测的存储示波器 生理功能和变化。 动物行为与鸟类学 存储示波器已成为显示和 分析一系列动物的发声 在这两个领域， 许多实验，有助于阐明重要的概念，不能 没有这些工具。 通过以下方式实现的采购 这笔赠款扩大了这个部门的培训能力， 这些地区的大学生。 这些增加的重要性源于这样一个事实，即最近 多年来，生理学和动物行为研究已成为 越来越依赖高科技设备。 作为这个用法， 一种设备的研究已成为理所当然的事情 实验室，它已成为必要的教学目的， 好. 必须向学生介绍日常使用的设备 收集数据，如果他们要熟悉并最终 评估作为实验结果而开发的概念。 同样，他们作为研究科学家的潜力也得到了加强， 工作熟悉广泛使用的方法， 目前的研究。
