0129616 Rob JacksonThe recent genome projects and the growth of molecular biology in general have had an enormous impact on the biological sciences at cellular and subcellular scales. While systematic and evolutionary biologists have been quick to incorporate molecular advances in their research, plant ecologists have only recently begun using such approaches to discern how populations, communities and ecosystems function. This four-day workshop will bring together plant ecologists and molecular biologists to discuss ways to hasten the incorporation of molecular techniques into ecological studies and to foster interactions between the two groups. The workshop will address opportunities for collaborations and two-way interactions between molecular biologists and plant ecologists, and will explore particular needs of ecologists that may require development of new molecular tools. It will address training needs for ecology graduate students applying molecular approaches to ecological questions. The workshop will produce a joint publication that outlines specific ideas and methods for increasing the use of molecular approaches in ecological research.

最近的基因组计划和分子生物学的发展在细胞和亚细胞尺度上对生物科学产生了巨大的影响。虽然系统和进化生物学家已经迅速将分子进展纳入他们的研究中，但植物生态学家直到最近才开始使用这种方法来辨别种群，群落和生态系统的功能。 这个为期四天的研讨会将汇集植物生态学家和分子生物学家，讨论如何加快将分子技术纳入生态研究，并促进两个群体之间的互动。 研讨会将讨论分子生物学家和植物生态学家之间的合作和双向互动的机会，并将探讨生态学家的特殊需求，可能需要开发新的分子工具。它将解决生态学研究生应用分子方法解决生态问题的培训需求。 讲习班将出版一份联合出版物，概述在生态研究中增加使用分子方法的具体想法和方法。
