This award provides funds to the Department of Biology at Luther College to establish an REU Site where eight undergraduate science majors will study heterogeneity in aquatic populations using the theories and techniques of both ecology and molecular genetics. This integrated approach is designed to maximize the potential for learning by both the student and faculty participants. The students and faculty will carry out field and laboratory experiments aimed at comparing and contrasting populations of the pulmonate snail Physa integra and the caddisfly Hydropsyche orris from environmentally distinct habitats. The bulk of the program will take place during a nine-week summer session. Bi-weekly group meetings will consist of faculty and student research reports and discussions of relevant journal articles. The participants will be required to present the results of their summers' research at their home institution and at appropriate scientific meetings.

该奖项向路德学院生物系提供资金，以建立一个REU网站，在那里，八名本科生将利用生态学和分子遗传学的理论和技术研究水生种群的异质性。这种综合方法旨在最大限度地发挥学生和教师参与者的学习潜力。学生和教职员工将进行现场和实验室实验，目的是比较和对比来自不同环境的栖息地的肺螺Physa Integra和卡迪蝇HD orris的种群。该项目的大部分内容将在为期九周的夏季课程中进行。每两周举行一次小组会议，内容包括教职员工和学生的研究报告以及相关期刊文章的讨论。参与者将被要求在他们自己的机构和适当的科学会议上展示他们夏季的研究结果。
