该奖项将部分支持美国和拉丁美洲 研究人员参加一个国际讲习班， 新热带淡水鱼类历史地理学 与美洲国家组织年度会议同时举行的 位于旧金山弗朗西斯科的鱼类学家和爬虫学家协会， 加州，6月17日至23日。 由Jonathan N. 加州州立理工大学的巴斯金和教授 巴西圣保罗大学的纳西奥·梅内塞斯说， 研讨会将汇集生态学家，地质学家， 古生物学家和其他人，以促进交流， 思想的发展。 了解和保护新热带雨林的重要性 生物群受到科学家和公众的广泛赞赏， 但淡水鱼的多样性和复杂性 最好是刚开始被理解。 通过汇集一个 来自拉丁美洲的该领域的大量研究人员 与他们的美国同行，这个奖项有助于履行 发展中国家科学计划的目标。

This award will partially support U.S. and Latin American researchers to participate in an international workshop on the historical biogeography of neotropical freshwater fishes to be held in conjunction with the annual meeting of the American Society of Ichthyologists and Herpetologists in San Francisco, California, June 17-23. Co-organized by Professor Jonathan N. Baskin of California State Polytechnic University and Professor Naercio Menezes of the University of Sao Paulo, Brazil, the workshop will serve to bring together ecologists, geologists, paleontologists and others to promote the exchange and development of ideas. The importance of understanding and conserving the Neotropical biota is widely appreciated by both scientists and the public, but the diversity and complexity of the freshwater fishes is at best only beginning to be understood. By bringing together a sizable number of researchers in the field from Latin America with their U.S. counterparts, this award serves to fulfill the goals of the Science in Developing Countries Program.
