9418306 Butler This award will partially support travel and communications expenses for Dr. Mark J. Butler of the Department of Biological Sciences at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia, to enable him to make a six month stay at the New Zealand Oceanographic Institute in Wellington, New Zealand to conduct cooperative research with Dr. Alistair MacDiarmid. The research will focus on field and laboratory experimentation to test hypotheses concerning recruitment and sustainable resource use of spiny or rock lobsters in the coastal waters of New Zealand and the Florida Keys. The research will initiate investigations of the potential factors limiting recruitment of the common New Zealand spiny lobster and compare results with similar studies of the Caribbean lobster. The study will also consider the effects of male size on mating success and fertilization rates in populations of spiny lobsters that differ in size due to heavy exploitation. This proposal is part of a joint request for activity under the U.S.-New Zealand Cooperative Science Program. The reciprocal visit to the United States by Dr. MacDiarmid will occur in early 1996 and is to be supported through the New Zealand Ministry of Research, Science and Technology.

9418306 Butler 该奖项将部分资助弗吉尼亚州诺福克市奥道明大学生物科学系的 Mark J. Butler 博士的旅费和通讯费用，使他能够在新西兰惠灵顿的新西兰海洋研究所停留六个月，与 Alistair MacDiarmid 博士进行合作研究。 该研究将侧重于实地和实验室实验，以检验有关新西兰和佛罗里达群岛沿海水域的刺龙虾或岩龙虾的补充和可持续资源利用的假设。 该研究将启动对限制普通新西兰大龙虾招募的潜在因素的调查，并将结果与​​加勒比龙虾的类似研究进行比较。该研究还将考虑由于大量捕捞而导致大小不同的大龙虾种群中雄性体型对交配成功率和受精率的影响。 该提案是美国-新西兰合作科学计划下联合活动请求的一部分。 MacDiarmid 博士将于 1996 年初对美国进行回访，并将得到新西兰研究、科学和技术部的支持。
