A Symposium in Honor of Peter W. Hochachka," Toronto, Canada, January 4-8, 2003

研讨会(定于2003年1月4日至8日在多伦多举行的SICB会议)有许多相关目标。它将向彼得·W·霍查卡致敬，表彰他数十年来对生物化学适应环境的研究做出的众多、开创性的贡献。专题讨论会将介绍生化适应环境领域的历史前景和最新发展。它将为动物学家提供一个概述，在过去的30年里，适应性生物化学领域如何从一个幼稚的、高度投机的领域发展成为一个继续吸引人和充满活力的领域，但现在已经成熟、成熟和具有极大的影响力。研讨会将证明奥古斯特·克罗原则(选择最适合感兴趣的科学问题的物种)仍然存在，并说明在生化适应研究中使用的广泛技术，包括核磁共振光谱、分子生物学和比较系统发育方法。研讨会将说明这一学科与生态学和进化生物学中的各个子学科已变得多么紧密地结合在一起，即它已与其他生物科学融为一体。研讨会将有10名发言者，每人30分钟的发言时间。他们的演讲将在《美国动物学家》杂志上发表。

The symposium (scheduled for the SICB meeting in Toronto, January 4-8, 2003) has a number of related goals. It shall honor Peter W. Hochachka for his numerous, pioneering and decades-long contributions to the study of biochemical adaptation to the environment. The symposium shall feature historical perspectives and the latest developments in areas encompassed by the field of biochemical adaptation to the environment. It shall provide zoologists an overview of how, over the past 30 years, the field of adaptational biochemistry has grown from an infant, highly speculative field into one that continues to be fascinating and dynamic, but is now mature, sophisticated, and highly influential. The symposium shall demonstrate that the August Krogh Principle (choosing the species best suited to the scientific question of interest) is alive and well and illustrate the broad range of techniques including nmr spectroscopy, molecular biology, and comparative phylogenetic approaches, used in studies of biochemical adaptation. The symposium shall illustrate how tightly interwoven this discipline has become with various subdisciplines in ecology and evolutionary biology, i.e., that it has become one with the rest of the biological sciences. The symposium shall have 10 speakers who will each give 30 minute presentations. Their lectures shall be written up for publication in American Zoologist.
