Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biosciences Related to the Environment for FY 1997

摘要 DBI 9750197布伦丹·博汉南 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。 该研究金的研究和培训计划题为“细菌多样性和环境生产力。“众所周知，环境生产力对动植物多样性有着强烈的影响。 然而，对细菌多样性的影响知之甚少。环境生产力和细菌多样性之间的关系正在澄清，通过估计在不同的生产力的天然池塘中的细菌物种的丰富度。 将在野外中尺度生态系统和实验室微观生态系统中进行数学建模和进一步实验，以评估决定多样性的机制。

Abstract DBI 9750197 Brendan Bohannan 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 "Bacterial diversity and productivity of the environment." Environmental productivity is known to strongly influence plant and animal diversity. The effect on bacterial diversity, however, is poorly understood. The relationship between environmental productivity and bacterial diversity is being clarified by estimating the richness of bacterial species in natural ponds that vary in productivity. Mathematical modeling of and further experiments in field mesocosms and laboratory microcosms will be conducted to assess the mechanisms determining diversity.
