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巴特勒该奖项将部分支持弗吉尼亚州诺福克旧多米尼翁大学生物科学系的马克·J·巴特勒博士的旅行和通信费用，以使他能够在新西兰惠灵顿的新西兰海洋学研究所留下六个月的时间，以与Alistair MacDiarmid博士进行合作研究。 该研究将重点介绍现场和实验室实验，以测试有关新西兰沿海水域和佛罗里达钥匙的刺激性和岩石龙虾的可持续资源使用和可持续资源使用的假设。 该研究将开始研究限制新西兰棘小龙虾的潜在因素，并将结果与​​对加勒比龙虾的类似研究进行比较。该研究还将考虑男性大小对由于大量剥削而大小不同的多龙龙虾人群的交配成功和受精率的影响。 该提案是根据美国新西兰合作科学计划共同要求活动的一部分。 MacDiarmid博士对美国的相互访问将于1996年初举行，并将通过新西兰研究，科学技术部得到支持。
