Bradley9909202This US-Brazil dissertation enhancement research proposal was submitted by Ms. Marjorie L. Patrick of the University of California, Irvine, under the sponsorship of Dr. Timothy J. Bradley. Ms. Patrick will work with Drs. Adalberto Luis Val and Ruth Ferreira, of Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas da Amazonia (INPA) in Manaus, Brazil. Ms. Patrick plans to study the ion regulatory patterns of mosquito larvae of the Amazon region.The PI will use two habitats that vary in ion composition and pH, the white water river of the Amazon River proper and the black water system of the Rio Negro, which is a major tributary of the Amazon. She will use two species from the whitewater habitat and two from the blackwater to test whether physiological differences contribute to the diversity in habitat preferences observed for different freshwater mosquito species. By studying the relationship between the physiology and chemistry of these habitats, we can further our understanding on how to control mosquito-borne disease.Patrick will bring her expertise in ion regulatory physiology and field techniques to INPA. Dr. Ferreria will provide her expertise in the biology of the species to be studies. The Amazon rainforest has over 400 species of mosquitoes and a diversity of breeding sites with extremes in water chemistry, making it an ideal place to do this research.***

Bradley9909202This美国 - 巴西论文增强研究建议是由加利福尼亚大学欧文分校的Marjorie L. Patrick女士在Timothy J. Bradley博士的赞助下提交的。 帕特里克女士将与博士合作。阿达尔伯托·路易斯·瓦尔（Adalberto Luis Val）和露丝·费雷拉（Ruth Ferreira），位于巴西马纳斯（Manaus）的Nacional de Pesquisas Da Amazonia（INPA）。 帕特里克女士计划研究亚马逊地区蚊子幼虫的离子调节模式。PI将使用两个在离子组成和pH中变化的栖息地，亚马逊河的白水河适当的白水河和里约尼亚黑人的黑水系统，这是亚马逊的主要支流。 她将使用来自白水栖息地的两种物种和黑水中的两个物种来测试生理差异是否有助于不同淡水蚊子物种观察到的栖息地偏好的多样性。 通过研究这些栖息地的生理和化学之间的关系，我们可以进一步了解如何控制蚊子传播疾病。Patrick将将她在离子调节生理和现场技术方面的专业知识带入INPA。 Ferreria博士将提供她在该物种的生物学方面的专业知识。 亚马逊雨林有400多种蚊子和多样的繁殖地，并具有极端的水化学，使其成为进行这项研究的理想场所。***
