Research Experiences for Undergraduates in Aquatic Biology

该奖项为布法罗州立大学学院生物系提供资金，用于在1990年夏季为8名本科生建立一个水生生物学研究经验站点。将特别努力征聘少数民族和妇女。每位学生将与几位参与的教师中的一位进行匹配，并将在以下领域之一进行为期8周的项目：UV-B辐射对蓝藻（蓝绿藻）代谢的影响；浮游捕食者对浮游动物群落的影响鱼类、水体及污染水体沉积物中致病性细菌的调查；污染环境中鱼类寄生虫的发生；以及伊利湖鱼类栖息地偏好的确定。经验将在实地取样和实验室调查中获得。研究技能将通过一系列计划的研讨会和与教师导师的互动来发展。学生将在最后的书面报告和总结研讨会上口头展示他们的研究成果。

This award provides funds to the Department of Biology at the State University College at Buffalo to establish a research experiences SITE in aquatic biology for 8 undergraduate students during the summer 1990. A particular effort will be made to recruit minorities and women. Each student will be matched with one of several participating faculty members and will conduct an 8-week project in one of the following areas: effects of UV-B radiation on metabolism of Cyanobacteria (blue-green algae); effects of a planktonic predator on zooplankton communities; survey of bacteria that are pathogenic to fish in fish, water, and sediments in polluted waters; occurrence of fish parasites in polluted environments; and determination of habitat preferences in Lake Erie fishes. Experience will be obtained in field sampling as well as in laboratory investigations. Research skills will be developed through a series of planned seminars and through interactions with faculty mentors. Students will present the results of their research in final written reports and orally in a concluding symposium.
