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

摘要 DBI 9750250珍妮特M. Fischer 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“生态历史对浮游动物群落对鱼类捕食反应的影响”。“历史遗产对社区动态的影响人们知之甚少。 生态历史可能在淡水浮游动物群落的动态中起着至关重要的作用，因为过去群落的活样本作为滞育卵储存在湖泊沉积物中，这些卵可以存活数十年。 浮游动物群落对鱼类捕食的反应在历史上含有或缺乏鱼类的实验池塘中进行了对比。

Abstract DBI 9750250 Janet M. Fischer 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 "Effects of ecological history on zooplankton community responses to fish predation." The effect of historical legacies on community dynamics are poorly-understood. Ecological history may play a critical role in the dynamics of freshwater zooplankton communities because a live sample of past communities is stored in lake sediments as diapausing eggs which remain viable for decades. Zooplankton community responses to fish predation is being contrasted in experimental ponds which have historically contained or lacked fish.
