This award supports purchase of a number of instruments and related items to be used for investigation of organismal physiology. The instruments will be managed as a shared facility that provides core infrastructure to support research, coursework and training of both undergraduate and graduate students. The facility will be used by a dozen faculty members within the Biology Department who are active in research that spans animal, plant, and microbial physiology. Among the instruments to be acquired are a gas-exchange system for measurement of photosynthesis, animal respirometry systems, an oxygen sensor system, pH meters, micromanipulators, and growth chambers. These state-of-the-art physiological instruments will be used by faculty, student researcher, and participants in biology courses. Faculty research projects that will benefit from instrumentation include examinations of animal metabolism in dimorphic spiders, bat physiology, physiology of plant stomata, and microbially-mediated decomposition in wetlands.

该奖项支持购买一些用于有机生理学研究的仪器和相关物品。 这些仪器将作为共享设施进行管理，提供核心基础设施来支持本科生和研究生的研究、课程作业和培训。 该设施将由生物系的十几名教职人员使用，他们积极从事动物、植物和微生物生理学的研究。 将采购的仪器包括用于测量光合作用的气体交换系统、动物呼吸测量系统、氧传感器系统、pH计、显微操作器和生长室。 这些最先进的生理仪器将供教师、学生研究员和生物学课程的参与者使用。 受益于仪器的教师研究项目包括二态蜘蛛的动物新陈代谢检查、蝙蝠生理学、植物气孔生理学以及湿地微生物介导的分解。
