9301940 Owen This Americas Program award will support a research collaboration between Prof. Guillermo Owen of Texas Tech University, and Prof. Cornelio Sanchez-Hernandez of the Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico (UNAM) and Prof. Ricardo Lopez Wilchis of the Universidad Autonoma Metropolitana in Iztapalapa, Mexico. The purpose of the research is to conduct biodiversity studies in Michoacan, the western end of the transverse volcanic belt of southern Mexico. The principal investigator and his collaborators will conduct a survey of mammals, and their ectoparasitic arthropods, focusing on questions of regional biodiversity and biogeography. Combined genetic, morphological, karyotypic, and ectoparasitic data from each specimen will provide a powerful tool for evaluating systematic and biogeographic phenomena from an evolutionary perspective. ***

9301940 Owen美洲项目奖将支持德克萨斯理工大学的Guillermo Owen教授、墨西哥国立自治大学（UNAM）的Cornelio Sanchez-Hernandez教授和墨西哥伊斯塔帕拉帕市大都会自治大学的Ricardo Lopez Wilchis教授之间的研究合作。该研究的目的是在墨西哥南部横向火山带西端的米却肯州进行生物多样性研究。首席研究员和他的合作者将对哺乳动物及其体外寄生节肢动物进行调查，重点关注区域生物多样性和生物地理学问题。每个标本的遗传、形态、核型和体外寄生数据将为从进化角度评估系统和生物地理现象提供有力的工具。＊＊＊
