0308749Ferry-GrahamThis U.S.-Chile award will support Dr. Lara A. Ferry-Graham, San Jose State University, for a planning visit to complete a proposal for a research collaboration with Dr. Julio Vasquez at the Universidad Catolica del Norte in Coquimbo, Chile. The researchers are working to determine the functional morphological mechanisms that facilitate invasions by marine fishes into the temperate regime. Teleost fishes survive in a variety of diverse habitats and the feeding mechanism is thought to be largely responsible for that success. Comparing temperate species with their tropical counterparts in both Chile and California will provide a unique opportunity to have replicate data points on the appropriate global scale. Chile offers the only reasonable replicate of the California habitat for determining generalities regarding temperate invasions and the mechanisms that might facilitate them. Invasion biology is an important area of research for community ecologists because invaders can have dramatic impact on ecosystems.

0308749 Ferry-GrahamThis美国-智利奖将支持劳拉博士。Ferry-Graham，圣何塞州立大学，进行规划访问，以完成与智利科金博北天主教大学Julio Vasquez博士的研究合作提案。 研究人员正在努力确定促进海洋鱼类入侵温带地区的功能形态学机制。 硬骨鱼生存在各种不同的栖息地和喂养机制被认为是主要负责的成功。 将智利和加州的温带物种与热带物种进行比较，将为在适当的全球范围内获得重复数据点提供一个独特的机会。 智利提供了唯一合理的复制加州栖息地确定有关温带入侵和机制，可能促进他们的一般性。 入侵生物学是社区生态学家的一个重要研究领域，因为入侵者可以对生态系统产生巨大的影响。
