9320332 Price Description: This project supports travel and field expenses for Dr. Trevor Price of the University of California, San Diego, to conduct research in India. His Indian collaborator is Dr. Priya Davidar of Pondicherry University. A graduate student from U.C.S.D., Mr. Madhusudan Katti, will assist in the field work. The research aim is the study of the factors that limit population sizes of migratory bird species. Conditions during the breeding season and during the non-breeding season have been implicated. The planned field work is to study the wintering warblers in south India, with special focus on a single group of warblers (genus Phylloscopus), which are abundant and easy to study in winter, and which form a single tightly knit ecological guild. The research will include identification of birds returning, and the territories they return to, the strategies of feeding and the territorial behavior of both sexes in different psychological conditions including the effect of the breeding season. It is expected that this work would help develop a broader picture of wintering populations in Asia, and allow comparisons with studies on other continents. The study will help fill a gap in what is known about the morphology-ecology associations in warblers in the non-breeding season. Scope: The project provides support to do field research for a U.S. scientist, working with a graduate student, and in collaboration with an Indian scientist. India has unique resources and facilities in the project area, of biodiversity. The project fits well with INT's objectives. ***

9320332价格描述：该项目资助加州大学圣地亚哥分校的特雷弗·普莱斯博士在印度进行研究的旅费和实地费用。他的印度合作者是Pondicherry大学的Priya Davidar博士。加州大学圣迭戈分校的研究生Madhuudan Katti先生将协助现场工作。研究的目的是研究限制候鸟种群数量的因素。繁殖季节和非繁殖季节的情况都有牵连。计划的田野工作是研究印度南部的越冬林莺，特别关注单一的一组林莺(竹林林莺属)，这种林莺数量丰富，在冬天很容易研究，它们组成了一个紧密结合的生态协会。这项研究将包括识别鸟类返回及其返回的地区，觅食策略和两性在不同心理条件下的领土行为，包括繁殖季节的影响。预计这项工作将有助于对亚洲越冬种群的更广泛了解，并允许与其他大陆的研究进行比较。这项研究将有助于填补有关林莺在非繁殖季节的形态-生态学联系的已知空白。范围：该项目为一名美国科学家提供实地研究支持，与一名研究生合作，并与一名印度科学家合作。印度在项目区拥有独特的资源和设施，即生物多样性。该项目与INT的目标非常契合。***
