0087509PietschThis award supports the participation of American scientists in a U.S.-Japan seminar on biodiversity of the Kuril Island, to be held in Sapporo, Japan from May 18-22, 2001. The co-organizers are professor Theodore Pietsch of the University of Washington and Professor Hideki Takahashi of the Hokkaido University in Japan. The islands of the Kuril Archipelago form the eastern boundary of the Okhotsk Sea and a bridge between Hokkaido, the northernmost island of Japan, and the Russian peninsula of Kamchatka. They are a natural laboratory for investigations into the origin, subsequent evolution, and long-term maintenance of insular populations. This seminar is based on the results of research in this area to date. The project is also known as the "International Kuril Island project" (IKIP). The Seminar will consist of the following topics: 1) description of the project and history of the biological investigations; 2) geological history and environmental change on the Kuril Islands and present-day physical, geographic, climatic, and ecological conditions; 3) biodiversity of the fungi, lichens, mosses, liverworts and plants; 4) biodiversity of the insects and spiders; 5) biodiversity of the mollusks; 6) biodivedrsity of the fishes and terrestrial vertebrates; 7) analysis and synthesis, distributional patterns and biogeography, dispersal and vicariance; 8) future plans and new directions. The participants will also discuss future collaborations. Two areas of particular significance are 1) continued work on the biodiversity of the Russian Far East and 2) initiation of new investigations in archaeology, paleobiology and cultural anthropology of the Kuril Archipelago. Seminar organizers have made a special effort to involve younger researchers as both participants and observers. The exchange of ideas and data with Japanese experts in this field will enable U.S. participants to advance their own work, and will set the stage for future collaborative projects. Dissemination of information on the seminar will be available at (http://artedi.fish.washington.edu/ikip/home.html).

该奖项支持美国科学家参加将于2001年5月18日至22日在日本札幌举行的关于千岛群岛生物多样性的美日研讨会。共同组织者是华盛顿大学的Theodore Pietsch教授和日本北海道大学的Hideki Takahashi教授。千岛群岛的岛屿构成了鄂霍次克海的东部边界，也是日本最北端岛屿北海道和俄罗斯堪察加半岛之间的桥梁。它们是研究岛屿种群起源、后续进化和长期维持的天然实验室。这次研讨会是基于迄今为止在这一领域的研究成果。该项目也被称为“国际千岛项目”（IKIP）。研讨会将包括以下主题：1)描述生物调查的项目和历史；(2)千岛群岛的地质历史和环境变化，以及今天的自然、地理、气候和生态条件；真菌、地衣、苔藓、苔类和植物的生物多样性；4)昆虫和蜘蛛的生物多样性；5)软体动物的生物多样性；6)鱼类和陆生脊椎动物的生物多样性；7)分析与综合、分布格局与生物地理、扩散与变异；8)未来计划和新方向。与会者还将讨论未来的合作。两个特别重要的领域是：1)继续开展关于俄罗斯远东生物多样性的工作；2)开始对千岛群岛的考古学、古生物学和文化人类学进行新的调查。研讨会的组织者特别努力让年轻的研究人员作为参与者和观察员参与。与该领域的日本专家交流想法和数据将使美国参与者能够推进自己的工作，并为未来的合作项目奠定基础。关于讨论会的资料将在（http://artedi.fish.washington.edu/ikip/home.html）上分发。
