9981780 HueyThis three-year award for U.S.-France cooperative research in evolutionary genetics involves Raymond B. Huey and a graduate student at the University of Washington, and Brigitte Moreteau and her research group at the Laboratory of Evolutionary Genetics of the French National Center for Scientific Research. They will collaborate on studies of insect cold tolerance with a focus on the evolutionary physiology of fruit flies of the obscura group of Drosophila. The investigators propose to use new statistical methods combined with rapid scoring in order to facilitate quantitative analyses of effects of temperature.The U.S. investigators bring to this collaboration expertise in phylogenetic approaches in physiological evolution and considerable research experience with Drosophila. This is complemented by French experience and knowledge of Drosophila diversity. The project also takes advantage of novel methods in quantitative analysis of temperature reaction that have been developed by the French team. Their collaboration will advance understanding of the thermal sensitivity of insects and whether evolutionary patterns are predictable or are historically contingent. It will elucidate whether insects can evolve rapidly in response to climate change. This award will support the incremental costs of this international collaboration; that is, the travel to Paris, France and subsistence expenses of the U.S. investigator and graduate student.

9981780休伊这项为期三年的美法进化遗传学合作研究奖的获得者包括雷蒙德·B·休伊和华盛顿大学的研究生，以及法国国家科学研究中心进化遗传学实验室的Brigitte Moreteau和她的研究小组。他们将合作研究昆虫的耐冷性，重点是果蝇类暗果蝇的进化生理学。研究人员建议使用新的统计方法与快速评分相结合，以便于对温度影响的量化分析。美国研究人员将生理进化中的系统发育方法方面的专业知识和对果蝇的丰富研究经验带到了这一合作中。此外，法国对果蝇多样性的经验和知识也起到了补充作用。该项目还利用了法国团队开发的定量分析温度反应的新方法。他们的合作将促进对昆虫热敏感性的理解，以及进化模式是可预测的还是历史上的偶然性。它将阐明昆虫是否能够快速进化以应对气候变化。这项奖励将支持这一国际合作的增量成本；即前往法国巴黎的旅费以及美国研究人员和研究生的生活费。
