Despite the dramatic developments that have taken place in ecology since World War II, the period between the two world wars is a fascinating subject for historical investigation into ecological science. Many of the approaches later associated with postwar ecology were introduced during this time, older concepts were refined and modified, identifiable schools emerged, new ecological research institutions came into existence, ecological theory interacted with social and political views, and ecological knowledge was applied to a variety of nature conservation and preservation issues. Under this grant, Dr. Cittadino is undertaking a thorough investigation into the history of ecological science during the 1920s and 1930s from an international perspective and with an effort to interrelate intellectual, cultural, social, and institutional themes. He is examining and synthesizing primary sources, secondary literature and archival documents. His goal is to carry out a study which provides an accurate assessment of the nature of the ecological science during the interwar years and addresses the question of the place of ecology in Western science and Western culture during this period.

尽管自第二次世界大战以来，生态学发生了戏剧性的发展，但两次世界大战之间的时期是一个引人入胜的生态科学历史研究课题。许多后来与战后生态学相关的方法都是在这一时期引入的，旧的概念被提炼和修改，可识别的学派出现，新的生态研究机构成立，生态理论与社会和政治观点相互作用，生态知识被应用于各种自然保护和保存问题。根据这笔赠款，Cittadino博士从国际角度对20世纪20年代和30年代的生态科学史进行了彻底的调查，努力将知识、文化、社会和机构主题相互联系起来。他正在研究和综合一手资料、二手文献和档案文件。他的目标是开展一项研究，对两次世界大战期间生态科学的性质提供准确的评估，并解决这一时期生态在西方科学和西方文化中的地位问题。
