Annual Systematics Symposium; St. Louis, Missouri; 1990-1994

传播现代生物多样性研究的最新科学发现，包括分子系统学研究，一直是密苏里州植物园一年一度的秋季系统学研讨会的标志。这两到四天的聚会聚集了大约400名研究人员和学生，他们的项目包括公开演讲、非正式会议、以及使用这个大型植物机构的图书馆和标本馆的机会。通常在会议后一年内发表正式介绍，增加了活动的影响，并向世界各地的受众提供这些最新的调查结果。今后五年的专题包括：1990年，非洲和南美洲之间的生物地理关系；1991年，系统学计算机数据库；1992年，生物种群结构和进化；1993年，安第斯生物地理学；和1994年，主要植物群的起源和系统发育关系。该领域的资深研究人员以及年轻的研究人员通常被列入发言者名册，从而鼓励新一代系统学科学研究。

Dissemination of recent scientific findings on modern biodiversity research, including molecular phylogenetic studies, has been a hallmark of the Missouri Botanical Garden's annual fall symposium on Systematics. These two to four day gatherings bring together ca. 400 researchers and students, in a program of public lectures, informal meetings, and opportunities to use the library and herbarium of this large botanical institution. Publication of the formal presentations, usually within one year of the meeting, increases the impact of the event and makes available to a worldwide audience these latest findings. Topics for the next five years include: 1990, Biogeographic relationships between Africa and South America; 1991, Computer databases in systematics; 1992, Structure of biological populations and evolution; 1993, Andean biogeography; and 1994, Origin and phylogenetic relationships of the major plant groups. Senior researchers in the field as well as young investigators are typically included in the roster of speakers, thus encouraging a new generation of scientific study in systematics.
