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）有一些相关的目标。该奖项将表彰彼得·w·霍查奇卡（Peter W. Hochachka）数十年来在研究生物化学对环境的适应方面做出的众多开创性贡献。研讨会将以历史观点和生物化学适应环境领域所涵盖领域的最新发展为特色。这本书将为动物学家提供一个概览，让他们了解在过去的30年里，适应性生物化学领域是如何从一个稚嫩的、高度投机的领域发展成为一个持续迷人和充满活力的领域，但现在已经成熟、复杂和具有高度影响力。研讨会将证明奥古斯特克拉夫原理（选择最适合感兴趣的科学问题的物种）是有效的，并说明广泛的技术范围，包括核磁共振波谱，分子生物学和比较系统发育方法，用于生物化学适应研究。研讨会将说明这门学科与生态学和进化生物学的各个分支学科是如何紧密地交织在一起的，也就是说，它已经与生物科学的其他部分融为一体。研讨会将有10位演讲者，每人做30分钟的演讲。他们的讲座将写在《美国动物学家》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.
