CRB: Sixth Cary Conference: Enhancing the Ecological Basis for Conservation--Heterogeneity, Ecosystem Function, and Biodiversity, May 9-11, 1995

本提案寻求资金部分支持将于1995年5月9日至11日举行的第六届加里会议，题为“加强保护的生态基础：异质性、生态系统功能和生物多样性”。会议将集中讨论生态基础保护实践的综合和未来发展。会议的总体目标是：(1)评估保护生物学的理论框架，该框架解决了对物种网络和整个生态系统的新兴关注；(2)探索生态学的非平衡范式与保护实践的联系；(3)将会议的发现暴露给更多的受众，以进行评估、修改和应用。与以往的会议一样，本次会议的重点将是讨论和审查生态学中的基本问题及其应用。本次会议是一个重要的、及时的、具有成本效益的论坛，讨论和传播有关保护生物学的生态基础的信息。

9424551 Pickett This proposal seeks funding to partially support the 6th Cary Conference on, "Enhancing the ecological basis for conservation: heterogeneity, ecosystem function, and biodiversity," to be held 9-11 May, 1995. The conference will focus on the synthesis and future development of the ecological foundation of conservation practice. The general goals of the conference are to (1) evaluate a theoretical framework for conservation biology that addresses the emerging focus on species networks and entire ecosystems, (2) explore the linkages of the non-equilibrium paradigm of ecology with the practice of conservation, and (3) expose the findings of the conference to a larger audience for evaluation, modification, and application. As with previous conferences, the emphasis of this meeting will be on discussion and examination of fundamental issues in ecology and their application. The results of the conference will be published This conference is an important, timely, and cost-effective forum for discussion and dissemination of information on the ecological underpinnings of conservation biology.
