This proposal is for support of a symposium "Physiological Ecology of Migration: How to Fly, Fast, and Feed En Route " at the Third North American Ornithological Congress (NAOC) on 24-31 September 2002 in New Orleans, LA. The objectives for this symposium are twofold: (a) to bring together outstanding researchers who are actively studying migratory birds at different levels of biological organization (molecular, cellular, organismal, populations) and (b) to include researchers who can address the physiology of a taxonomically diverse set of migratory birds within a broad ecological context. Such a focus is timely in that significant recent work has addressed the metabolic physiology of flying birds and the importance of phenotypic flexibility in organ systems for migrating birds. However, this work has not been adequately integrated especially across various levels of biological organization, nor has this work been disseminated to a broader audience of ornithologists interested in the ecology of birds during migration. The contributors at the symposium will provide a diverse set of perspectives and approaches for studying the physiological ecology of migration in part because they include scientists at different stages of their careers, and from various countries represented by both men and women.

这项建议是为了支持2002年9月24-31日在洛杉矶新奥尔良举行的第三届北美鸟类学大会(NAOC)上举行的“候鸟的生理生态学：如何在途中飞行、快速和进食”的研讨会。这次研讨会的目标有两个：(A)汇聚在不同生物组织(分子、细胞、生物、种群)中积极研究候鸟的杰出研究人员；(B)吸收能够在广泛的生态背景下研究不同分类多样性候鸟的生理学的研究人员。这种关注是及时的，因为最近的重大工作涉及飞行鸟类的代谢生理学以及候鸟器官系统表型灵活性的重要性。然而，这项工作没有得到充分的整合，特别是在不同层次的生物组织中，这项工作也没有传播给更广泛的鸟类学家，他们对迁徙期间的鸟类生态感兴趣。研讨会的撰稿人将为研究移徙的生理生态提供一套不同的视角和方法，部分原因是他们包括处于职业生涯不同阶段的科学家，以及来自不同国家的男女代表。
