Biodiversity: The Interface Between Systematics and Conservation Workshop in Bloomington, IN (June 23-27, 2000)

该奖项将部分资助2000年6月23日至27日在印第安纳州布卢明顿举行的“生物多样性：系统分类学与保护之间的接口”研讨会，该研讨会由系统生物学家学会（SSB）、进化研究学会（SSE）、美国自然学家学会（ASN）以及热带生物学协会（ATB）联合召开。是次研讨会由香港证监会和亚洲电讯管理局共同主办。它将汇集与生物多样性和保护相关的各个领域的研究人员，讨论系统分类学与他们研究的相关性，并评估利用系统和分类数据的各种技术。由于人们日益认识到系统数据在保护生物学中的重要性，以及在此背景下使用系统数据的大量新方法，该主题是及时的。

This award is to partially fund the symposium "Biodiversity: the interface between systematics and conservation" held 23-27 June, 2000, in Bloomington, Indiana, at the joint meetings of the Society of Systematic Biologists (SSB), Society for the Study of Evolution (SSE), and the American Society of Naturalists (ASN), as well as the Association for Tropical Biology (ATB). this symposium is co-sponsored by the SSB and ATB. It will bring together researchers from a wide variety of fields related to biodiversity and conservation to discuss the relevance of systematics to their research and to evaluate various techniques that make use of systematic and taxonomic data. The topic is timely because of the increasing recognition of the importance of systematic data in conservation biology, and the wealth of new methods available for using systematic data in this context.
