0207090ConnorThe goal of this project is to stimulate students from groups that are currently underrepresented in the sciences to choose careers in environmental biology. This objective will be met by involving students in positive and productive research experiences and by providing close mentoring, group learning activities, and careful advising. Students will work with experienced and aspiring research scientists and environmental professionals in seminars and informal gatherings, thus providing a basis for students to imagine themselves in careers in environmental biology. Students will participate in research focused on understanding 1) the impact of urbanization and agriculture via habitat loss, fragmentation, and degradation, and 2) the effects of introduced species on native species and communities. Recruiting students from groups underrepresented to careers in environmental biology will broaden participation of all parts of our society in learning how to preserve the natural environment. Focusing on the impact of habitat loss, fragmentation, and introduced species associated with urbanization and agriculture will provide valuable information that may enable us to preserve native species and communities within a human-dominated landscape. .

0207090康纳这个项目的目标是刺激学生从目前在科学界代表性不足的群体选择环境生物学的职业。这一目标将通过让学生参与积极和富有成效的研究经验，并通过提供密切的指导，小组学习活动和认真的建议来实现。学生将与经验丰富，有抱负的研究科学家和环境专业人士在研讨会和非正式聚会，从而为学生想象自己在环境生物学职业生涯的基础。学生将参与研究重点了解1）城市化和农业通过栖息地丧失，破碎化和退化的影响，以及2）引进物种对本地物种和社区的影响。从代表性不足的群体中招募学生从事环境生物学职业，将扩大我们社会各阶层在学习如何保护自然环境方面的参与。关注与城市化和农业相关的栖息地丧失、破碎化和引进物种的影响，将提供有价值的信息，使我们能够在人类主导的景观中保护本土物种和群落。.
