Schupp0456402This award supports a U.S.-Australia Workshop on Frugivory and Seed Dispersal, July 9-16, 2005, at Griffith University, Brisbane, Australia. The co-organizers are Eugene Schupp, Utah State University, and David Westcott, CSIRO (Commonwealth Scientific & Industrial Research Organization), Canberra, Australia. Fifteen scientists from the United States will meet with 20 researchers supported by Australia. The workshop is integrated with an international symposium attended by a larger set of researchers, including some from New Zealand and several Asian countries. The discussions will incorporate discussion of international collaboration, especially the major issues that can best, or perhaps only, be addressed by large-scale international collaborative research. A symposium proceedings is planned, and outcomes from the workshop will be put on a workshop website to be developed either at Utah State University or Griffith University.Plant-animal interactions have interested ecologists since Darwin, but the fields of frugivory and seed dispersal developed slowly. Nonetheless, as publications increased rapidly over the last 30 years, three international symposia-workshops have been held to assess the field and develop future directions: 1985 and 1991 in Mexico and 2000 in Brazil. All resulted in publications that shaped the field and invigorated research. The objective of this fourth symposium is to bring a diverse group of international researchers together to assess future collaboration, build a sense of community, and identify common threads.

Schupp 0456402该奖项支持美国- 2005年7月9日至16日在澳大利亚布里斯班格里菲斯大学举行的食果动物和种子传播澳大利亚研讨会。 共同组织者是尤金舒普，犹他州州立大学，和大卫韦斯科特，CSIRO（联邦科学工业研究组织），堪培拉，澳大利亚。 来自美国的15名科学家将与澳大利亚支持的20名研究人员会面。 讲习班与一个国际专题讨论会结合在一起，参加者包括来自新西兰和几个亚洲国家的研究人员。 这些讨论将包括对国际合作的讨论，特别是可以最好地，或者也许只能通过大规模国际合作研究来解决的主要问题。 计划召开一次研讨会，研讨会的成果将放在犹他州州立大学或格里菲斯大学开发的研讨会网站上。自达尔文以来，植物-动物相互作用引起了生态学家的兴趣，但食果动物和种子传播领域发展缓慢。 尽管如此，随着过去30年来出版物的迅速增加，已经举办了三次国际专题讨论会和讲习班，以评估这一领域并制定未来的方向：1985年和1991年在墨西哥，2000年在巴西。 所有这些都产生了影响该领域和扩展研究的出版物。 第四次研讨会的目的是将不同的国际研究人员聚集在一起，评估未来的合作，建立社区意识，并确定共同的思路。
