Experiments conducted here investigate the behavioral ecology of predators and prey in stream and pond systems, bird mating systems, and experimental plant ecology. The on-site laboratory is equipped with abundant bench space and storage room, a cold room, balances, and other portable equipment. Aviaries are used for studies of bird mating systems. Abundant old-field land is available for observational studies of successional ecology and for experimental manipulations of plant populations. Artificial streams permit controlled experimentation of stream systems.
Artificial ponds provide opportunities for well-replicated experimental manipulations.
