The Ecology Group within the Department of Biology, Concordia University is a vibrant and growing group engaged in a diverse range of ecological research. A common theme within the seven members of our Ecology Group is a heavy reliance on field-based research. These field research projects help to train numerous graduate and undergraduate students in a range of field ecology techniques. Our group has 11 ongoing field research projects, which cover a broad taxonomic spectrum (fish, mammals, insects, plants, microbes) and are conducted in five provinces (ON, QC, NB, NS, NL). A critical piece of equipment that is necessary for the success of these field research projects is a well-equipped and dependable field vehicle. Our proposal is a request for funding to purchase a new departmental field truck that will be shared among the seven externally funded members of the Ecology Group and their estimated 34 students. We are requesting funds to purchase a four-wheel drive, crew-cab pickup that will: i) meet the research needs of our growing group, ii) be capable of safely accessing field sites in remote areas and iii) be capable of transporting people, field gear and samples.

康科迪亚大学生物系内的生态小组是一个充满活力和不断发展的小组，从事各种生态研究。我们生态小组七名成员的共同主题是严重依赖实地研究。这些实地研究项目有助于培养众多研究生和本科生掌握一系列野外生态学技术。我们的团队有11个正在进行的实地研究项目，涵盖了广泛的分类范围（鱼类，哺乳动物，昆虫，植物，微生物），并在5个省（安大略省，魁北克省，魁北克省，纽西兰省，新罕布什尔州）进行。一辆装备精良、可靠的野外车辆是这些野外研究项目取得成功所必需的关键设备。我们的提议是申请资金来购买一辆新的部门现场卡车，这笔钱将由生态小组的7名外部资助成员和他们大约34名学生共享。我们正在申请资金来购买一辆四轮驱动的驾驶室皮卡，它将：i)满足我们不断增长的团队的研究需求，ii)能够安全进入偏远地区的现场，iii)能够运送人员、现场设备和样品。
