Animal Behavior Observatory, Database Storage Facilities andMulti-user Technical Equipment at the Southwestern Research Station

韦德·舍布鲁克博士是西南研究站的负责人，该研究站由美国自然历史博物馆拥有和管理。空间站位于亚利桑那州东南部的奇里卡瓦山脉，是一个沙漠和山地栖息地多样的地区。在空间站进行的研究项目侧重于广泛的物种和主题。舍布鲁克博士建议建造用于行为研究的围栏，并为研究项目期间收集的标本购买博物馆储藏柜、标本冷冻机、分析天平和电流稳定器。这些行为围栏将为大量访问调查人员的研究提供便利，并将开启针对不同生物的新研究项目。样品储存设备对于标准样品的适当管理和生物化学分析中冰冻组织的保存至关重要。这些设备将为各种研究项目提供显著的好处。

Dr. Wade Sherbrooke is the Director of the Southwestern Research Station, which is owned and administered by the American Museum of Natural History. The Station is located in the Chiricahua Mountains of southeastern Arizona in an area of diverse desert and montane habitats. Research projects conducted at the Station focus on a broad spectrum of species and topics. Dr. Sherbrooke proposes construction of enclosures for behavioral studies and acquisition of museum storage cabinets for specimens collected during research projects, specimen freezer, analytical balance, and electric current stabilizer. The behavioral enclosures will facilitate research by a large number of visiting investigators, and will open up new research projects on diverse organisms. The specimen storage equipment is critical for the proper curation of reference specimens and for preservation of frozen tissues for biochemical analyses. These items of equipment will provide significant benefits to a variety of research projects.
