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

这是一个建议，组织和进行一个研讨会，在进化生物学的前沿，以解决新兴的研究重点在进化生物学。 拟议的研讨会计划于2005年1月10日至12日在阿灵顿的NSF举行。 这次会议的具体目标是：1）审查，讨论，并提出一系列有针对性的研究倡议在进化生物学; 2）提出机制，将这些倡议纳入研究的优先事项的NSF; 3）产生一份报告，我们的研究结果，供NSF工作人员和其他人使用。为了反映进化生物学的增长和新的发展，拟议的研讨会将扩大其范围，考虑在人口水平上的进化模式和过程，包括行为，形态和生理方面的进化。 这个扩大的范围将包括进化研究的范围和人口与进化过程，生态和进化生理学，动物行为和NSF相关计划所考虑的主题。

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.
