Award AbstractThe symposium entitled: "EcoPhysiology and Conservation: The Contribution of Endocrinology and Immunology" sponsored by the Society of Integrative and Comparative Biology, examines the contributions that ecophysiologists are making to conservation biology. This symposium will focus on overviews of endocrinology and immunology with a special emphasis on endocrine disruptors in marine, aquatic and terrestrial invertebrates, which are important to environmental monitoring. New perspectives from the symposium will aid biologists in identifying stressed individuals, reproduction problems, source and sink populations, carrying capacity of specific sites, and landscape features that promote the survival of populations and new metrics to quantify ecosystem health. These perspectives will provide a mechanistic linkage across multiples levels of biological organization, centering on the individual organism. Resulting publications and a website from this symposium will launch a new direction in organismal physiology called Conservation Physiology. This field will draw attention to the role that physiologists can play in conservation biology, spur conservation biologists to revise their text books to incorporate physiological perspectives, encourage ecophysiologists to undertake conservation problems, and will also provide fresh examples and materials for undergraduate and graduate teaching. The combination of physiology and conservation biology in the new field of Conservation Physiology will have broad impacts on the fields of integrative and organismal biology.

由综合与比较生物学学会主办的题为“生态生理学与保护：内分泌学和免疫学的贡献”的研讨会，探讨了生态生理学家对保护生物学的贡献。本次研讨会将重点介绍内分泌学和免疫学的概况，特别强调海洋、水生和陆地无脊椎动物的内分泌干扰物，这对环境监测很重要。研讨会的新观点将帮助生物学家确定压力个体、繁殖问题、来源和汇种群、特定地点的承载能力、促进种群生存的景观特征和量化生态系统健康的新指标。这些观点将提供跨多个层次的生物组织的机械联系，以个体生物为中心。本次研讨会的出版物和网站将为有机体生理学开辟一个新的方向，即保护生理学。这一领域将引起人们对生理学家在保护生物学中所扮演的角色的关注，促使保护生物学家修改他们的教科书以纳入生理学观点，鼓励生态生理学家承担保护问题，并将为本科生和研究生教学提供新鲜的例子和材料。保护生理学这一新兴领域将生理学与保护生物学相结合，将对综合生物学和有机体生物学领域产生广泛的影响。
