International Research Fellowship Program: Phylogenetic Analysis of the Family Odontoceridae (Trichoptera) and A Revison of the Tropical Genus Marilia

国际研究员奖励计划使美国科学家和工程师能够在国外进行三到二十四个月的研究。该计划的奖项提供了联合研究的机会，并利用国外独特或互补的设施、专业知识和实验条件。该奖项将为艾莎·L·普莱特博士在加拿大安大略省多伦多的皇家安大略省博物馆生物多样性和保护生物学中心与道格拉斯·C·柯里博士合作提供24个月的支持。该项目支持对包括大量热带物种的鞭翅目(毛翅目)一科的系统发育和分类学研究。这项研究将产生基于系统发育的这些分类群的定义，并解决热带属的分类学问题。这项工作将在安大略省皇家博物馆进行，在道格拉斯·柯里博士的监督下完成。柯里博士是毛翅目和双翅目系统学家，曾在东南亚广泛工作。

The program's awards provide opportunities for joint research, and the use of unique or complementary facilities, expertise and experimental conditions abroad.This award will provide twenty-four months of support to Dr. Aysha L. Prather to work with Dr. Douglas C. Currie at the Royal Ontario Museum's Centre for Biodiversity and Conservation Biology in Toronto, Ontario in Canada.This project supports a phylogenetic and taxonomic study of a family of caddisflies (Trichoptera) that includes a large number of tropical species. The research will produce a phylogeny-based definition of these taxa and resolve taxonomic questions within a tropical genus. The work will be done at the Royal Ontario Museum under the supervision of Dr. Douglas Currie, a Trichoptera and Diptera systematist who has worked extensively in Southeast Asia.
