This Communicating Research to Public Audiences project is derived from work funded by research grant DEB-9903416 entitled "LTREB: Long Term Studies of African Lions." In partnership with the Bell Museum of Natural History, Craig Packer at the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities will develop a 500 sq ft traveling exhibition and associated website on the factors that contribute to the successful survival and reproduction of individual lions. Intellectual Merit: This exhibit builds on public interest in lions and the intriguing question of why males have manes to educate visitors about the process of scientific research. Its content is based on seven years of observations and experiments by a leading researcher on the behavioral ecology of lions. The exhibit will include a life-size "model" lion (actually a plush toy made to exact specifications) that was used in the field to test responses by real lions.Broader Impact: In addition to being displayed by the Bell Museum, "The Lion's Mane" exhibit will travel to zoos with lion exhibits and to museums with lion dioramas. By highlighting a female researcher, the exhibit provides an entry point and a role model for girls. This exhibit will benefit from and build upon extensive national publicity received by the Lion Research Project and its lionresearch.org website.

这项向公众观众项目进行的交流研究源自由研究赠款DEB-9903416资助的工作，标题为“ Ltreb：非洲狮子的长期研究”。 明尼苏达大学 - 两国城市的克雷格·帕克（Craig Packer）与贝尔自然历史博物馆合作，将开发一个500平方英尺的旅行展览会和相关网站，这些因素有助于成功生存和复制个别狮子。知识分子的优点：这种展览是基于公共利益，以及为何有男性有雄心教育科学研究过程的有趣问题。 它的内容基于七年的观察和实验狮子行为生态学的实验。 展览将包括一头真人大小的“模型”狮子（实际上是制作了确切规格的毛绒玩具），该狮子在田间通过核心狮子会测试反应。BRODERIMPACT：除了由贝尔博物馆展示的“狮子的鬃毛”展览将带着狮子展览会和狮子diorums与狮子diorums一起前往Zoos。 通过强调女性研究员，展览为女孩提供了一个入口点和榜样。 该展览将受益于狮子研究项目及其LionResearch.org网站的广泛国家宣传。
