U.S.-Australia Joint Seminar: Ecological and Evolutionary Genetics of Drosophila / Armidale, N.S.W., Australia / January 1989.

该奖项将支持由锡拉丘兹大学的威廉·T·斯塔默教授和西北部阿米代尔的新英格兰大学的J·S·F·巴克教授联合举办的研讨会--“果蝇的生态和进化遗传学”。与会者将于1989年1月在新英格兰大学开会，讨论当前的工作。并考虑在种群生物学、生化遗传学和分子遗传学领域开展新的美澳合作研究项目。研讨会的总主题将是将各学科合并为一个连贯的进化论研究结构。更好地理解遗传变异的组织和维持被认为是可能出现的。这样的理解对于更有效地操作育种计划和控制虫害是必要的。

This award will support a seminar, "Ecological and Evolutionary Genetics of Drosophila", organized jointly by Prof. William T. Starmer of Syracuse University and Prof. J.S.F. Barker, of the University of New England, Armidale, N.S.W. Participants will meet in January 1989 at the University of New England to discuss current work, and to consider new U.S.-Australia cooperative research projects, in the fields of population biology, biochemical genetics, and molecular genetics. The overall theme of the workshop will be the merging of disciplines into a coherent structure for the study of evolution. A better understanding of the organization and maintenance of genetic variation is epected to emerge. Such an understanding is necessary for more efficient manipulation in breeding programs and in the control of insect pests.
