The Fourth International Congress of Systematic and Evolutionary Biology will be held at the College Park Campus of the University of Maryland from June 30 to July 7, 1990. The theme of the Congress "The Unity of Systematic and Evolutionary Biology" will bring together an international assemblage of systematists, population biologists, and ecologists, as well as members of the "user community", for which systematics is a critical but undervalued resource (e.g., agroeconomists, government policy specialists, conservationists, and biotechnologists). The Congress will host sessions on a variety of topics, several of which will be devoted to the main themes of: 1) Evolution in Perspective: Biodiversity, Conservation, Biotechnology, and Global Change; 2) Evolutionary Mechanisms and Processes; and 3) Systematics and Phylogenetic Reconstructions. Ten scientific societies will also be sponsoring symposia at the Congress. Dr. Reaka's proposal to the National Science Foundation addresses the critical issue of human resources in systematic and evolutionary biology. NSF support for the Congress will allow graduate students, members of under-represented groups of U.S. scientists, and investigators from lesser-developed countries to attend this important meeting. This travel support will promote international collaborations and enhance the research careers of women and minority scientists in the U.S.

第四届系统与进化生物学国际大会将于1990年6月30日至7月7日在马里兰大学帕克校区举行。大会的主题是“系统生物学和进化生物学的统一”，将汇集国际系统学家、人口生物学家和生态学家，以及“用户社区”的成员，对他们来说，系统分类学是一个关键但被低估的资源(例如农业经济学家、政府政策专家、保护主义者、和 生物技术专家)。大会将举办各种主题的会议，其中一些将专门讨论以下主题：1)进化的视角：生物多样性，保护，生物技术和全球变化；2)进化机制与过程；3)系统发育重建。10个科学学会也将在大会上赞助专题讨论会。Reaka博士向国家科学基金会提出的建议解决了系统和进化生物学中人力资源的关键问题。美国国家科学基金会对大会的支持将允许研究生、代表性不足的美国科学家群体成员和来自欠发达国家的研究人员参加这次重要会议。这种旅行支持将促进国际合作，并加强美国女性和少数族裔科学家的研究事业
