Abstract DBI 9750160 Vladimir V. Pravoudov This action funds an NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biosciences Related to the Environment for 1997. This fellowship provides an opportunity for the Fellow to gain additional scientific training beyond the doctoral degree and to pursue innovative and imaginative into the fundamental mechanisms underlying the interactions between organisms and their environment at the molecular, cellular, organismal, population, community and/or ecosystem level in any area of biology supported by the Directorate for Biological Sciences of the National Science Foundation. Each fellowship supports a research and training plan to be carried out in a sponsoring laboratory. The research and training plan for this fellowship is entitled "Social environment and energy strategies in birds." In the temperate zone, many small birds must survive harsh winters characterized by low ambient temperatures and reduced food supplies. It has been hypothesized that food-caching birds use food-caches as an alternative to body fat storage, allowing them to maintain lower body mass. Most food-caching birds live in socially structured groups where dominants have priority access to food. This research investigates the impact of the social environment on optimal fattening and caching strategies in wintering caching birds. Both empirical and stochastic dynamic game modeling approaches are being used.

摘要 DBI 9750160弗拉基米尔·V·普拉武多夫 这项行动为1997年国家科学基金会与环境有关的生物科学博士后研究金提供资金。 该奖学金为研究员提供了一个机会，使他们能够在博士学位之外获得额外的科学培训，并在分子，细胞，生物体，种群，在国家科学基金会生物科学理事会支持的任何生物学领域的社区和/或生态系统水平。 每项研究金资助一项研究和培训计划，该计划将在一个赞助实验室进行。 该奖学金的研究和培训计划题为“鸟类的社会环境和能源战略。“在温带地区，许多小鸟必须在以低环境温度和食物供应减少为特征的严酷冬季中生存下来。 据推测，食物贮藏鸟类使用食物贮藏作为身体脂肪储存的替代品，使它们能够保持较低的体重。大多数食物储藏鸟类生活在社会结构的群体中，优势鸟类优先获得食物。 本研究探讨了社会环境对越冬缓存鸟类最佳育肥和缓存策略的影响。经验和随机动态博弈建模方法正在使用。
