9415609 Miller This two-year award will support U.S.-France cooperative research in marine biology between Richard L. Miller of Temple University and Jacky Cosson of the Marine Biology Center, Villefranche Sur Mer, France. The objective of their research is the study of fertilization patterns and behavior in marine invertebrates. They will perform a detailed study of salps, which are found in abundance in warm-temperate to tropical waters. Their existence in huge swarms makes them important in the economy of the ocean. The project addresses ways to improve the chances of fertilization and will provide important information about coordination of reproduction in salps and other zooplankton. Dr. Miller brings to this collaboration extensive expertise in marine biology. He has wide experience in studies of fertilization of marine invertebrates. This is complemented by the French investigator's expertise in biophysics and molecular biology and in flagellar behaviors of protozoa. The project will advance understanding of fertilization behavior in primitive invertebrates that can be used as a model for future investigations of similar problems in marine vertebrates. ***

小米勒9415609 这项为期两年的奖励将支持美国-法国海洋生物学合作研究。坦普尔大学的米勒和法国滨海自由城海洋生物中心的杰基·科森。 他们的研究目标是研究海洋无脊椎动物的受精模式和行为。他们将对在暖温带至热带沃茨大量发现的海鞘进行详细研究。它们的大量存在使它们在海洋经济中发挥重要作用。 该项目探讨了提高受精机会的方法，并将提供关于海鞘和其他浮游动物生殖协调的重要信息。 米勒博士为这次合作带来了丰富的海洋生物学专业知识。 他在海洋无脊椎动物受精研究方面拥有丰富经验。这位法国研究人员在生物物理学和分子生物学以及原生动物鞭毛行为方面的专业知识对这一点进行了补充。 该项目将促进对原始无脊椎动物受精行为的理解，可用作未来研究海洋脊椎动物类似问题的模型。 ***
