Mountain Lake Biological Station |
|
Mountain Lake Biological Station is located on a remote wooded ridge at an elevation of 1,160 meters on the top of Salt Pond Mountain in southwestern Virginia. Its mountaintop location is surrounded by sharp ecological gradients and fine-scale changes in habitat - ideal conditions for the studies of ecology and evolution. Biologists from around the world come to the Station each summer to conduct field research based on the diverse flora and fauna of the Southern Appalachians. The Station supports a summer population of 75 -100 students and researchers. Visiting scientists conduct research in plant and animal population biology, behavioral ecology, life history evolution, community ecology, ecological genetics, biosystematics, epidemiology, conservation biology, and the physiology of behavior. Many research programs are long-term, resulting in numerous publications, and are often funded by the NSF. Biologists interested in field studies are encouraged to consider Mountain Lake as a home for their research. Some financial assistance is available to assist graduate students and faculty in starting research projects at the Station.
