9820674PITNICK The American and Australian counterparts will investigate the reproductive biology of endemic drosophilids in rain forests and other moist habitats of Australia. The three areas of investigation are: 1) evolutionary ecology of reproductive effort with emphasis on the relationship of egg size to egg number and larval habitat; 2) studies on the correlated responses of rapidly evolving male and female reproductive structures that may be important to the process of speciation; and 3) microbial associations (yeasts) of the drosophilids in their natural habitats. The Australian counterpart is Prof. J.S.F. Barker, Department of Animal Science, University of New England, Armidale, Australia.

皮特尼克：美国和澳大利亚的同行将调查澳大利亚热带雨林和其他潮湿栖息地特有的果蝇的生殖生物学。主要研究三个方面：1)生殖努力的进化生态学，重点研究卵的大小、卵数和幼虫栖息地之间的关系；2)研究快速进化的雄性和雌性生殖结构对物种形成过程的相关响应；3)果蝇在自然生境中的微生物关联（酵母）。澳大利亚同行是澳大利亚阿米代尔新英格兰大学动物科学系J.S.F. Barker教授。
