Mountain Lake Biological Station was founded in 1921 as an inland field station for and teaching in the Southern Appalachians. In the last twenty years the research program has developed a focus in population biology with an emphasis in ecological genetics. Projects currently being conducted include studies of the genetics and epidemiology of a sexually transmitted disease in a plant, the behavioral and physiological ecology of juncos, the genetic structure of a local metapopulation, ecology and evolution of polymorphic life history in a plant, life history evolution and species interactions in salamanders, biosystematics and evolutionary genetics of ferns evolution of plant sex ratio biases, behavioral ecology and mate choice in salamanders, adaptive significance of the biological clock in chipmunks, the evolution of parasitic plants, and the genetic structure of seedbanks.Mountain Lake houses up to 100 students, faculty and researchers at a time. Most of the living quarters were built in the late 1930s and aside from renovations of plumbing, porches and some roofs in 1992, they have not been renovated since. Many of the accommodations are run-down and pose health and safety risks. This project will support the renovation of most of the older cabins on the station. Windows and doors containing lead paint and asbestos will be replaced in 16 of the older buildings; crumbling interior walls and wiring will be replaced in 5 of the largest student dorms; leaking roofs will be replaced in 5 cabins.The other primary area to be upgraded is in computer and telecommunication facilities. Researchers and students alike now require current computer and telephone technology and facilities to conduct their work. This project will support the installation of a full-service server/client computer and telephone network to provide file and application serving, full Internet access and telephone service to all research and teaching labs, administrative offices, and the computer lab on the station.

山湖生物站成立于1921年，是阿巴拉契亚山脉南部的一个内陆野外基地。 在过去的二十年里，研究计划已经发展成为一个重点在生态遗传学的人口生物学。 目前正在进行的项目包括植物性传播疾病的遗传学和流行病学研究、容科斯的行为和生理生态学、当地集合种群的遗传结构、植物多态生活史的生态学和进化、蝾螈的生活史进化和物种相互作用、蕨类植物的生物系统学和进化遗传学、植物性别比例偏差的进化、行为生态学和蝾螈的配偶选择，花栗鼠生物钟的适应意义，寄生植物的进化，种子库的遗传结构。山湖一次可容纳100名学生，教师和研究人员。 大部分生活区建于20世纪30年代末，除了1992年对管道、门廊和一些屋顶进行了翻新外，此后再没有进行过翻新。 许多住宿设施破旧不堪，构成健康和安全风险。 该项目将支持车站大部分旧车厢的翻新。 将更换16座旧建筑物中含有含铅油漆和石棉的门窗;将更换5座最大的学生宿舍中摇摇欲坠的内墙和电线;将更换5间小屋中漏水的屋顶;另一个需要升级的主要领域是计算机和电信设施。 研究人员和学生现在都需要最新的计算机和电话技术和设施来进行他们的工作。 该项目将支持安装一个全方位服务的服务器/客户端计算机和电话网络，为空间站上的所有研究和教学实验室、行政办公室和计算机实验室提供文件和应用服务、全面的互联网接入和电话服务。
