US-USSR Workshop: Quaternary Paleozoology; October 23-27, 1993, Springfield, Illinois

将于1992年10月23日至27日在伊利诺伊州斯普林菲尔德的伊利诺伊州立博物馆举行的美俄第四纪古动物学联合讲习班将集中讨论全北极地貌学的题目；脊椎动物分类群、组合、古生态与演化；无脊椎动物组合;人与动物 相互作用;物种灭绝和现代动物群。研讨会将由伊利诺伊州立博物馆的杰弗里·j·桑德斯博士和邦妮·w·斯特尔斯博士，以及圣彼得堡俄罗斯科学院动物研究所的根纳迪·f·巴里什尼科夫博士共同组织，是美国与俄罗斯在第四纪古动物学领域开展重大合作研究项目的第一步。讲习班的目的是传播关于全息北极目前的研究、方法和关切的基线信息，以促进长期的联合研究项目和建议；建立研究伙伴关系；并建立一个增强的全北极动物数据库，用于生物地理学、人类适应和全球变暖的研究。该项目实现了推进科学知识的计划目标，使美国和前苏联的主要研究人员能够在基础科学领域的共同兴趣和能力领域结合互补的努力和能力在平等、互惠、互利的基础上进行研究。

A joint workshop on U.S.-Russia Quaternary Paleozoology to be held at the Illinois State Museum in Springfield, Illinois on 23-27 October 1992 will focus on topics in Holarctic taphonomy; vertebrate taxa, assemblages, paleoecology, and evolution; invertebrate assemblages; human-animal interactions; and extinctions and the modern fauna. The workshop, which will be co-organized by Dr. Jeffrey J. Saunders and Bonnie W. Styles of the Illinois State Museum, and by Dr. Gennadiy F. Baryshnikov of the Zoological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences in St. Petersburg, is intended as the first step toward a major collaborative U.S.-Russia research program in Quaternary Paleozoology. The purposes of the workshop are to disseminate baseline information on current research, methods, and concerns in Holarctica that will nurture long-term joint research projects and proposals; establish research partnerships; and initiate an enhanced Holarctic faunal database suitable for studies of biogeography, human adaptations, and global warming. This project fulfills the program objective of advancing scientific knowledge by enabling leading researchers in the United States and the former Soviet Union to combine complementary efforts and capabilities in areas of strong mutual interest and competence in the field of basic scientific research on the basis of equality, reciprocity, and mutuality of benefit.
