Workshop: Frontiers in Evolutionary Biology, January 10-12, 2005 at NSF

本提案旨在组织并举办一个名为“进化生物学前沿”的研讨会，以讨论进化生物学中新兴的研究重点。提议的研讨会计划于2005年1月10日至12日在阿灵顿的国家科学基金会举行。本次会议的具体目标是：1)回顾、讨论并提出一系列有针对性的进化生物学研究计划；2)提出将这些倡议纳入NSF研究重点的机制；3)制作一份报告，将我们的发现提供给NSF的工作人员和其他人使用。为了反映进化生物学的增长和新发展，拟议的讲习班将扩大其范围，审议种群水平上的进化模式和过程，包括进化的行为、形态和生理方面。这个扩展的范围将包括进化研究的范围，以及种群和进化过程、生态和进化生理学、动物行为和NSF相关项目所考虑的主题。

This is a proposal to organize and conduct a workshop, Frontiers in Evolutionary Biology, to address emerging research priorities in evolutionary biology. The proposed workshop is planned to take place on January 10-12, 2005 at NSF in Arlington. The specific goals of this meeting are to: 1) review, discuss, and propose a series of targeted research initiatives in evolutionary biology; 2) propose mechanisms for incorporating these initiatives into the research priorities of the NSF; 3) produce a report of our findings to be used by NSF staff and others. To reflect the growth and new developments within evolutionary biology, the proposed workshop will expand its scope to consider patterns and processes of evolution at the population level, including behavioral, morphological and physiological aspects of evolution. This expanded scope will include the range of evolutionary research and topics considered by Population and Evolutionary Processes, Ecological and Evolutionary Physiology, Animal Behavior and related programs at NSF.
