9420009 HOLZENTHAL Funds from this award will be used to support the travel of international participants at the 8th International Symposium on Trichoptera (caddisflies), which will be held at the University of Minnesota and Lake Itasca, MN during July 1995. These meetings, where scientists can share their most recent research results through formal and informal discussions, take place every three years. This is only the second time one of these symposia has been held in the Western Hemisphere. Special attention will be placed on identifying and inviting caddisfly biologists from Latin America to the symposium and on sponsoring those international participants who might otherwise be unable to attend the symposium because of financial limitations. About 100 scientists from around the world are expected to participate and they will present papers on all aspects of caddisfly biology, including ecology, taxonomy, biogeography, pollution tolerance, physiology, evolution, and behavior among other topics. Publication of symposium proceedings are planned. %%% Caddisflies, or Trichoptera, are a group of aquatic insects that are best known for the cases and nets constructed by their immature stages. Caddisflies are very important participants in aquatic food webs, where their larvae serve as food for fish and in turn feed on other smaller aquatic organisms or stream debris. Caddisfly larvae are found around the world and occupy many different microhabitats. They are also very sensitive to pollution and are used as biological indicators of water quality. ***

9420009 HOLZENTHAL本奖项的资金将用于资助国际与会者参加第八届毛翅目（石蛾）国际研讨会的旅费，该研讨会将于1995年7月在明尼苏达大学和明尼苏达州的伊塔斯卡湖举行。 这些会议每三年举行一次，科学家可以通过正式和非正式讨论分享他们的最新研究成果。这是第二次在西半球举办此类研讨会。 将特别注意确定和邀请来自拉丁美洲的石蛾生物学家参加专题讨论会，并赞助那些因财政限制而无法参加专题讨论会的国际与会者。 预计将有来自世界各地的约100名科学家参加，他们将发表关于石蛾生物学各个方面的论文，包括生态学、分类学、地理学、污染耐受性、生理学、进化和行为等主题。 计划出版专题讨论会记录。 毛翅目（Caddisflies）是一组水生昆虫，以其未成熟阶段的外壳和网而闻名。 石蛾是水生食物网中非常重要的参与者，它们的幼虫作为鱼类的食物，反过来又以其他较小的水生生物或溪流碎屑为食。 石蛾幼虫遍布世界各地，占据许多不同的微生境。 它们对污染也非常敏感，被用作水质的生物指标。 ***
