The Wildlife Research Station (WRS) has been providing access and logistical support for University and government researchers from Ontario and across North America since 1944.  Situated on Lake Sasajewun in Algonquin Provincial Park, Ontario, at the south end of an expansive wilderness zone, the WRS has access to an excellent representation of the diversity found in the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence forest region.  Research at the station has produced world-class scientific studies, including the transmission, ecology, and morphology of the moose brain worm; the longest, continuous small mammal live trapping population study in North America (over 50 years); a 30+ year mark-recapture study of painted and snapping turtles; numerous studies on the behavioural, systematic, medical, and ecological aspects of black fly and mosquito communities; as well as the discovery and description of 25 new species previously unknown to science.  Recent research efforts of wildlife researchers are crossing over into interdisciplinary fields, with a focus on seasonal energetics and physiological ecology (Tattersall, Richardson, Schulte-Hostedde).  The current proposal is for the purchase of a truck to be used at the WRS in Algonquin Park. The truck would be used by the Manager and Assistant Manager in their duties of maintaining the Station so that NSERC-funded ecologists, physiologists, ecophysiologists, and evolutionary biologists can undertake all or part of their research at the Wildlife Research Station (which is a 3-5 hour drive from most Universities that make use of it).  The Station is undergoing a revitalization at present with a number of new scientists (new faculty appointments) taking advantage of the unique research opportunities that the Wildlife Research Station provides. Major new summer users include Schulte-Hostedde (Laurentian University), Richardson (Brock) and Tattersall (Brock). Other major users include Hunter (Brock), Nol (Trent), Brooks (Guelph), Dukas (McMaster), and Ramsay (WLU).  In addition, Tattersall and others make use of the Station during the winter.  The vehicle is absolutely required to ensure a safe and productive working environment for researchers and their students during all seasons of the year.

自1944年以来，野生动物研究站（WRS）一直为来自安大略省和整个北美的大学和政府研究人员提供访问和后勤支持。位于安大略省Algonquin省公园的Sasajewun湖上，在广泛的荒野区域的南端，WRS可以访问伟大的多样性，在伟大的湖泊中获得了多样化的代表。劳伦斯森林地区。该站的研究产生了世界一流的科学研究，包括驼鹿脑蠕虫的传播，生态学和形态。北美最长，最连续的小型哺乳动物活陷阱人口研究（超过50年）；一项超过30年的绘画和捕捉海龟的标记率研究；关于黑蝇和蚊子社区的行为，系统，医学和生态方面的许多研究；以及对25种新物种的发现和描述，以前是科学不明的。野生动植物研究人员的最新研究工作正在跨学科领域，重点是季节性能量学和物理生态学（Tattersall，Richardson，Schulte-onstedde）。目前的提议是为了购买在Algonquin Park的WRS上使用的卡车。该卡车将由经理和助理经理在维护该站的职责中使用，以便NSERC资助的生态学家，生理学家，生态生理学家和进化生物学家可以在野生动物研究站进行全部或部分研究（这是大多数使用IT的大学的3-5小时驱动器）。该站目前正在振兴，许多新科学家（新教师任命）利用了野生动植物研究站提供的独特研究机会。新的新夏季用户包括舒尔特 - 霍斯特德（Laurentian University），理查森（Brock）（布罗克（Brock））和塔特索尔（Tattersall）（布罗克（Brock））。其他主要用户包括Hunter（Brock），NOL（Trent），Brooks（Guelph），Dukas（McMaster）和Ramsay（WLU）。此外，Tattersall和其他人在冬季使用该车站。绝对需要该车辆以确保一年中的所有季节确保研究人员及其学生的安全和产品工作环境。
