With support from the Field Museum of Natural History, Dr. Matthew Nitecki has organized a symposium addressing the general topic of Biological Innovations, to be held in May of 1988. Speakers from fields of molecular biology, morphology and anatomy, systematics, and paleontology will address problems related to the origin of novel biological structures, molecular pathways, and functions, at the levels of population, species, and lineage through time. A major focus of the discussions will be efforts to disentangle cause and effect in the study of evolutionary innovations, defined as new structures or functions that open up new ways of life for particular groups of animals or plants. Dr. Nitecki and the Field Museum have a strong record of managing and hosting symposia addressing significant topics in the field of systematic and evolutionary biology. The symposia attract over 200 researchers, including many students, and have been held since 1978. Results are published promptly, and these publications have been regarded as of high quality.

在菲尔德自然历史博物馆的支持下，马修·尼特基博士组织了一次关于生物创新的专题讨论会，将于1988年5月举行。来自分子生物学、形态学和解剖学、系统学和古生物学等领域的演讲者将在种群、物种和谱系的水平上，讨论与新型生物结构、分子途径和功能的起源有关的问题。讨论的一个主要焦点将是努力解开进化创新研究中的因果关系，进化创新被定义为为特定动物或植物群体开辟新的生活方式的新结构或功能。Nitecki博士和菲尔德博物馆在管理和主持专题讨论会方面有着良好的记录，讨论了系统和进化生物学领域的重要主题。自1978年以来，该研讨会吸引了200多名研究人员，其中包括许多学生。结果及时发表，这些出版物被认为是高质量的。
