<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">The Center for Conservation Biology (CCB) and the College of Natural and Agricultural Sciences (CNAS) of the University
of California at Riverside announce a Call for Proposals for Grad Students and Postdocs desiring to perform research on the Shipley-Skinner Reserve in Riverside County or in lands broadly adjacent to the reserve. Situated between the urbanizing areas of Temecula
and Murrieta to the southwest, Hemet and San Jacinto to the northeast, and bounded by Lake Skinner on the south and Diamond Valley Lake on the north, the Shipley-Skinner lands comprise an important habitat for a variety of coastal sage shrub, chaparral, oak
woodlands, non-native grasslands, riparian, and freshwater lake species. This area provides habitat for many rare, threatened, and endangered species.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">In 1991, the Metropolitan Water District (MWD) of Southern California initiated a management plan to recognize
and govern habitat values on lands acquired to mitigate the projected impacts of MWD's water development projects in Western Riverside County. Asked to provide research in habitat protection, monitoring, and restoration, CNAS instituted this call to address
these issues in the region. In 2001, the area of research expanded to other reserves in the county as the County of Riverside established an endowment to the CCB for the study of conservation issues affecting Riverside County.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Proposals can include the following areas:</span></b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

of existing populations, invasions, effects of disturbances, or ecosystem changes. Research activities may include experimental, observational, or modeling approaches. Any regional species or ecosystem is acceptable. There is not a specific listing of plant
and animal species on the Shipley-Skinner lands available.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
