This award will support the purchase of reach-in and walk-in               environmental chambers that permit programmed control of climatic               conditions and of associated monitoring equipment.  The units                   will be shared by five researchers and their students and                       postdocs.  Some of the units will be used for rearing various                   animal taxa (e.g., cooperative spiders from African tropical rain               forests that require moderate temperatures and high humidities,                 or Mexican free-tailed bats whose nursing-colony maintenance                    requires temperatures of 120F).  Other chambers will be used in                 experiments (e.g., simulated releases of biologically engineered                bacteria in a quasi-natural system, or territory size estimates                 for genetic studies of the behavior of desert animal species).                  All of these projects require varying conditions of lighting,                   temperature and humidity.  Additionally, some of the projects                   require the presentation of stimuli (e.g., odors) under                         conditions isolated from extraneous stimuli.  The equipment to be               funded permits the achievement of these necessary conditions.
