NSF Young Investigator

该奖项旨在支持乔纳森·盖勒对海洋生物多样性的研究。他独特的背景结合了传统的海洋进化生态学和现代分子生物学。他将在兄弟物种（两个或两个以上不能或没有形态学分离的物种）和海洋无脊椎动物新灭绝和生物入侵对多样性的影响的研究中使用这两种方法。他的训练使他处于这一新兴跨学科领域的前沿，他所解决的问题在社会和科学上都很重要。他从研究生院开始教书，从那以后一直很成功。他在纽约理工学院期间的计划包括本科教学、研究生教学和定向研究，其中他将强调接触研究方法和当前文献。

9458350 Geller This NYI award is to support Jonathan Geller's research on Marine Biodiversity. His unique background combines traditional marine evolutionary ecology with modern molecular biology. He will use both in his research on sibling species (two or more species that cannot be or have not been morphologically separated), and marine invertebrate neoextinction and the effects of biological invasion on diversity. His training puts him at the forefront of this emerging cross-disciplinary field, and the problems he is addressing are important socially and scientifically. He started teaching in graduate school, and has continued successfully ever since. His plans during the NYI include undergraduate teaching, graduate teaching and directed research, in which he will stress exposure to research methods and current literature.
