9815680DhondtThis award will support US participation in a US-France workshop on causes, consequences and mechanisms of dispersal at the individual, population and community levels to take place in Roscoff, France, April 24 - May 1, 1999. Approximately 10 Americans and 15 Europeans, chiefly French scientists, will participate in the workshop. The aim of the proposed workshop is to discuss and merge the perspectives of scientists working on various aspects of dispersal. It will focus on (1) methods for studying dispersal; (2) the multiple causes of dispersal; (3) the behavioral mechanisms involved in dispersal; (4) the consequences of dispersal at the individual, population and species levels; and (5) perspectives for the study of dispersal in terms of gene flow and local adaptation. Dispersal is an important survival behavior in response to environmental threats posed by habitat fragmentation and global climate change. The probability of a species surviving such changes is strongly dependent on its ability to tract shifts in the environment, either by moving between patches of habitat or by rapidly adapting to local conditions. The importance of this behavior to all species provides the motivation for this workshop. It is anticipated that the results of the workshop will lead to collaborations and future research in this area.

9815680 Dhondt该奖项将支持美国参加1999年4月24日至5月1日在法国罗斯科夫举行的关于个人、人口和社区层面扩散的原因、后果和机制的美法讲习班。 大约10名美国人和15名欧洲人，主要是法国科学家将参加讲习班。 拟议讲习班的目的是讨论和合并从事扩散问题各方面工作的科学家的观点。 它将侧重于（1）研究扩散的方法;（2）扩散的多种原因;（3）扩散中涉及的行为机制;（4）扩散在个体，种群和物种水平上的后果;（5）从基因流动和局部适应的角度研究扩散的前景。 扩散是一种重要的生存行为，以应对生境破碎化和全球气候变化带来的环境威胁。 一个物种在这种变化中生存下来的可能性在很大程度上取决于它在环境中适应变化的能力，无论是通过在栖息地之间移动，还是通过快速适应当地条件。 这种行为对所有物种的重要性为本次研讨会提供了动力。 预计讲习班的成果将促成这一领域的合作和今后的研究。
