This action funds an NSF Minority Postdoctoral Research Fellowship for 1999.The research and training plan is in the area of animal physiology and behavior and is entitled "Hormonal and environmental regulation of reproductive function and territoriality in a bird inhabiting a temperate equatorial environment." This study investigates the control of reproduction and territoriality in an equatorial population of the rufous sparrow, Zonotrichia capensis. Mating pairs exhibit synchronized reproductive cycles while the population displays aseasonal reproduction. The environmental and hormonal cues that the pairs use to synchronize reproduction are being determined.

这项行动资助了1999年的NSF少数民族博士后研究奖学金。这项研究和培训计划是在动物生理和行为领域，名为“在温带赤道环境中鸟类生殖功能和领土的荷尔蒙和环境调节”。这项研究调查了赤道种群红毛麻雀的繁殖和领地的控制。交配对表现出同步的生殖周期，而种群则表现出季节性繁殖。这对双胞胎用于同步繁殖的环境和荷尔蒙线索正在确定。
