Symposium: Historical Patterns of Developmental Integration

9406574泽尔迪奇奖将资助在题为“发展一体化的历史模式”的研讨会上发言的人的旅费、住宿费和登记费，该研讨会将于1995年1月在美国动物学家协会(ASZ)的会议上发表。生物体的胚胎学或发育模式可以揭示对理解生物体群体成员之间的关系很重要的信息。发言者包括该领域的几位领军人物，他们将讨论发展数据(从分子到形态)的独立性、整合性或相互依存性以及如何将这些数据纳入系统发育分析或物种间关系研究的重要问题。将公布专题讨论会的会议记录，以便向更广泛的受众传播这一信息，只有那些能够出席和听取专题介绍的人才能这样做。这次会议上的演讲将讨论将胚胎学或发育信息纳入生物之间关系分析的方法。有时，发展中的信息可以为人际关系提供重要的新线索。对不同生物群体成员之间关系的最佳和最完整的了解，对于预测有关物种生物学的事情，包括可能发生或生产或有用的天然产品，如对抗人类或动物疾病的新药，是非常重要的。***

9406574 ZELDITCH This award will support the travel, lodging expenses and registration costs for speakers in a symposium entitled "Historical patterns of developmental integration" which will be presented at the meetings of the American Society of Zoologists (ASZ) in January 1995. Patterns in the embryology or development of organisms can reveal information important to understanding the relationships among members of groups of organisms. The speakers, who include several leaders in this field, will address important questions about the independence vs integration or interdependence of developmental data (from molecular to morphological) and how to incorporate such data in phylogenetic analyses or the study of relationships among species. Proceedings of the symposium will be published so that this information is disseminated to a wider audience that just those individuals able to attend and hear the presentations. %%% The talks given at this meeting will address means of incorporating embryological or developmental information into analysis of the relationships among living things. Sometimes, developmental information can shed important new light on relationships. The best and most complete knowledge of the relationships among members of different groups of living things is very important for predicting things about the biology of related species, including the possible occurrence or production or useful natural products such new drugs to combat human or animal diseases. ***
