The goals of this project are to enhance capabilities in the field of animal behavior to 1. provide laboratory experiences which illustrate and test hypotheses of animal behavior, communication, and ecology that are included in lectures of seven courses, 2. to provide advanced undergraduate research opportunities in animal behavior, communication, and ecology, and 3. to upgrade the animal behavior, communication, and ecology center existing at the college. The addition of computerized capability to analyze statistically video images of behavioral movements used for communication, a video editing system, and computerized weather stations to identify the environmental stimuli instigating certain types of behavior, is the next logical step for enhancement of existing capabilities which include radio telemetry, video taping, and sonagraphic equipment. The college will provide 50% matching funds.

这个项目的目标是提高动物行为领域的能力：1.提供实验室经验，说明和检验动物行为、沟通和生态学的假设，这些假设包括在七门课程的讲座中；2.提供动物行为、沟通和生态学方面的高级本科生研究机会；3.提高动物行为、沟通和生态学的水平以及学院现有的生态中心。增加计算机化的能力，以统计分析用于通信的行为运动的视频图像，视频编辑系统，以及计算机化的气象站，以识别引发某些类型的行为的环境刺激，这是增强现有能力的下一个合乎逻辑的步骤，这些能力包括无线电遥测、录像和声学设备。学院将提供50%的配套资金。
