Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biosciences Related to the Environment for FY 1998

DBI-9804178 Eric S.Post这一行动资助了美国国家科学基金会1998年与环境相关的生物科学博士后研究奖学金。这一奖学金为研究员提供了一个机会，使其有机会获得博士学位以外的额外科学培训，并在国家科学基金会生物科学局的支持下，在分子、细胞、有机体、种群、社区和/或生态系统层面上对任何生物领域中生物体与其环境之间相互作用的基本机制进行创新和富有想象力的研究。每个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名为《植物和马鹿的繁殖策略》，以应对全球气候变化。挪威正在分析包含50年来植物数据和30年马鹿数据的繁殖数据库，以揭示与北大西洋涛动(NAO)相关的全球气候长期变化如何影响这两个相互作用的物种。这一结果将有助于我们了解当地种群中植物和脊椎动物对气候大范围变化的生殖反应，并可用于预测它们对全球气候变化的反应。

Abstract DBI-9804178 Eric S. Post This action funds an NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biosciences Related to the Environment for 1998. This fellowship provides an opportunity for the Fellow to gain additional scientific training beyond the doctoral degree and to pursue innovative and imaginative research 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 reproductive strategies of plants and red deer in response to global climatic variation. Databases on reproduction containing 50 years of data on plants and 30 years on red deer in Norway are being analyzed to reveal how long-term variation in global climate related to the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) have affected these 2 interacting species. The results will inform our understanding of reproductive responses of plants and vertebrates in local populations to large-scale variation in climate and can be used to predict their responses to global climate change.
