This project will support a conference, Ecology in an Era of Globalization, which will be held in Merida, Mexico, January 8 - 12, 2006, co-hosted by the Ecological Society of America (ESA), the Universidad Autonoma de Yucatan and the Centro de Investigaciones Cientificas de Yucatan. This conference will be organized around three subthemes: invasive species and their spread due to ever increasing intra-hemispheric commerce and movement of merchandise and goods, human migration and its impacts on both source and recipient nations, and production systems, particularly the environmental impacts associated with the need to nearly double food production by mid-century. The conference results should have a broad impact on the environmental community. A special issue of the journal Frontiers will be distributed to all conference attendees, to all ESA members in 80 countries, and to subscribing libraries, providing a lasting and tangible product of the conference. This special issue will also be made available without charge on ESA's web site. Finally, this conference will develop a vision for an Ecological Knowledge Network that will promote the application of ecological knowledge and data to increase sustainability. It will enable users to rapidly access and synthesize existing information from multiple databases, link knowledge users with data and project-specific teams of local and international experts using web-conferencing facilities, and help researchers identify potential partners for collaboration. Finally, funding includes support for 33 US students, targeting members of underrepresented groups, to attend and participate in the conference.

该项目将支持将于2006年1月8日至12日在墨西哥梅里达举行的题为“全球化时代的生态学”的会议，该会议将由美国生态学会、尤卡坦自治大学和尤卡坦科学研究中心共同主办。 这次会议将围绕三个次主题组织：入侵物种及其由于不断增加的半球内商业和商品和货物流动而蔓延，人类移民及其对来源国和接受国的影响，以及生产系统，特别是与本世纪中叶粮食产量几乎翻一番的需要有关的环境影响。 会议的结果应对环境界产生广泛的影响。 将向所有与会者、80个国家的所有欧空局成员和订阅图书馆分发《前沿》杂志特刊，提供会议的持久和有形产品。 该特刊还将在欧空局的网站上免费提供。 最后，本次会议将制定一个生态知识网络的愿景，这将促进生态知识和数据的应用，以提高可持续性。它将使用户能够迅速获取和综合多个数据库的现有信息，利用网络会议设施将知识用户与数据和当地及国际专家组成的具体项目小组联系起来，并帮助研究人员确定潜在的合作伙伴。 最后，资金包括支持33名美国学生，针对代表性不足的群体的成员，出席和参加会议。
