项目摘要

9311979 Johnson This award will support drastically needed improvements to the bird collection in the Museum of Vertebrate Zoology, University of California Berkeley, which is one of the nation's largest (173,500 specimens) and has important holdings from North America (83%). The collection is a fundamental international and national resource in teaching and research in biodiversity and biological disciplines. The improvements coincide with a move of the collections to new, modern facilities in a Life Sciences Building that the University has renovated at a cost of $80M $120M. The renovation has achieved a 48% increase in space for all collections. The support will provide cabinets to replace inadequate old cases and to alleviate crowding, two ultracold freezers for housing an irreplaceable frozen tissue collection, and student assistants for packing and unpacking the collection. %%% The bird collection in the Museum of Vertebrate Zoology, University of California Berkeley is internationally recognized in its importance to systematic and ecological research. It is a fundamental resource in biodeversity studies and education. This support will enable the collection to be moved to newly renovated facilities and rehoused in modern cabinets that will ensure its conservation for future generations of students and researchers. ***

这个奖项将支持对加州大学伯克利分校脊椎动物博物馆的鸟类收藏进行急需的改进，该博物馆是美国最大的博物馆之一（173,500个标本），并拥有来自北美的重要藏品（83%）。该馆藏是生物多样性和生物学科教学和研究的基础国际和国内资源。与此同时，该校还将把馆藏搬到生命科学大楼的现代化设施中，该大楼耗资8000万美元（1.2亿美元）进行了翻新。翻修后，所有藏品的空间增加了48%。这项支助将提供橱柜以取代不够用的旧箱子并缓解拥挤，两个超低温冷冻箱用于存放不可替代的冷冻组织，学生助理负责包装和拆包。加州大学伯克利分校脊椎动物博物馆的鸟类收藏在系统和生态研究方面的重要性得到了国际公认。它是生物多样性研究和教育的基础资源。这种支持将使收藏品能够转移到新装修的设施中，并重新安置在现代橱柜中，以确保后代的学生和研究人员能够保护它们。＊＊＊
