9413040 Wake, D. B. The Museum of Vertebrate Zoology, University of California at Berkeley, has operated the Hastings Natural History Reservation since 1937. Hastings is located in the Santa Lucia Mountains, a coastal mountain range in central California. Over 900 ha of the natural community mosaic is protected for research and teaching use. Hastings supports many ongoing research projects; in 1994 Hastings will provide housing and facilities for about 40 field studies. In 1989, funding from NSF provided a modern laboratory space. Recent private donations, support from NSF, from the Museum of Vertebrate Zoology and the Berkeley campus has allowed significant upgrading of Hastings' facilities. Housing for 34 researchers has been added or renovated since 1988. A new domestic water storage, treatment and distribution system has been installed. Over the past six years, use at Hastings has increased dramatically and reached maximum seasonal use level determined by facility capacity and an ongoing management plan. Funding from the UC-Natural Reserve System allowed purchase of hardware and software for a geographic information system (GIS) A GIS at Hastings will be of great value to our resident and visiting researchers, neighboring landowners, and the management staff. This project will provide for the acquisition of a global positioning system (GPS) to incorporate existing data on vertebrate populations and genetics into our GIS. Other administrative uses include location of the reserve boundaries, updated maps of reserve buildings and utilities and to conduct vegetation and habitat mapping. A modern GIS and GPS capability will continue to attract new researchers and will expand the research and training opportunities for current investigators.

9413040 Wake, D. B. 加州大学伯克利分校脊椎动物学博物馆自 1937 年以来一直运营黑斯廷斯自然历史保护区。黑斯廷斯位于加州中部沿海山脉圣卢西亚山脉。 超过 900 公顷的自然群落马赛克受到保护，用于研究和教学用途。 黑斯廷斯支持许多正在进行的研究项目； 1994 年，黑斯廷斯将为大约 40 个实地研究提供住房和设施。 1989 年，美国国家科学基金会 (NSF) 的资助提供了现代化的实验室空间。 最近的私人捐款、美国国家科学基金会、脊椎动物学博物馆和伯克利校区的支持使得黑斯廷斯的设施得到了重大升级。 自 1988 年以来，已增建或翻新了 34 名研究人员的住房。安装了新的生活用水储存、处理和分配系统。 在过去六年中，黑斯廷斯的使用量急剧增加，并达到了由设施容量和持续管理计划确定的最大季节性使用水平。 加州大学自然保护区系统的资金允许购买地理信息系统 (GIS) 的硬件和软件。黑斯廷斯的 GIS 对于我们的居民和来访研究人员、邻近的土地所有者和管理人员来说具有巨大的价值。 该项目将提供全球定位系统（GPS），以将脊椎动物种群和遗传学的现有数据纳入我们的地理信息系统。 其他行政用途包括保护区边界的位置、保护区建筑物和公用设施的更新地图以及进行植被和栖息地测绘。 现代 GIS 和 GPS 功能将继续吸引新的研究人员，并将扩大现有研究人员的研究和培训机会。
