This action funds an NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biological Informatics for 2000.The research and training plan is in the area of Population Biology and is entitled "A Comparative Phylogeographic Approach to Studying Biodiversity". Evolutionary and geographical factors influencing patterns of amphibian biodiversity are investigated by analyzing, within three different genera (Ensatina, Taricha, and Batrochoseps), multiple codistributed species for phylogeographic concordance. In addition, comparisons of current and historic population level processes across species provide strong inferences on factors impacting genetic divergence in zones of secondary contact. By combining spatial and genetic information across multiple species and populations, a more thorough understanding of the forces affecting speciation and regional biodiversity will result.

这项行动资助了 2000 年 NSF 生物信息学博士后研究奖学金。该研究和培训计划属于种群生物学领域，题为“研究生物多样性的比较系统地理学方法”。 通过分析三个不同属（Ensatina、Taricha 和 Batrochoseps）内多个共分布物种的系统发育地理学一致性，研究了影响两栖动物生物多样性模式的进化和地理因素。 此外，对跨物种当前和历史种群水平过程的比较为影响二次接触区遗传分化的因素提供了强有力的推论。 通过结合多个物种和种群的空间和遗传信息，将能够更全面地了解影响物种形成和区域生物多样性的力量。
