项目摘要

This Doctoral Dissertation Enhancement award will provide funding for the PI and Co-PI from the University of Florida to conduct studies at field sites in Bolivia and Brazil. The study is building upon a prior NSF funded workshop: NSF INT-0313429 "U.S.-Chile Workshop: First Symposium on Austral Migration", Puerto Varas, Chile, 5-11 October 2003. The research tests a theory about the proximate causes of bird migration by taking advantage of an unusual feature of austral migrants: the large variation in migratory behaviors within populations. Because this theory has been developed and tested on the same set of north temperate species, this work constitutes its first true independent test.The proposed study will promote international collaboration between Argentinean, Bolivian and Brazilian researchers. The study will lay the groundwork by field-testing several important components of the scheme, by involving senior collaborators in these other countries, and by training students in field techniques. The Museo de Historia Natural Noel Kempff Mercado (MHNNKM) in Santa Cruz, Bolivia will be the primary collaborative institution. Bolivian participants in this study include the co-PI (who has dual citizenship in Bolivia and the U.S.), two B.S. students from the local university in Bolivia, and a female researcher from the MHNNKM. All will be at the study site full-time.

该博士学位论文增强奖将为佛罗里达大学的PI和Co-Pi提供资金，以在玻利维亚和巴西的现场进行研究。这项研究是基于先前的NSF资助研讨会：NSF INT-0313429“美国智利研讨会：第一次关于澳大利亚移民的研讨会”，2003年10月5日至11日，智利波多黎各瓦拉斯。研究的理论是关于鸟类迁移的近距离迁移的统一迁移特征的理论。由于该理论已经在同一北温带物种上开发和测试，因此这项工作构成了其首次真正的独立检验。拟议的研究将促进阿根廷，玻利维亚和巴西研究人员之间的国际合作。这项研究将通过对该计划的几个重要组成部分进行现场测试，参与这些其他国家的高级合作者以及培训学生的现场技术来奠定基础。玻利维亚圣克鲁斯的Historia Northia Noth Noel Kempff Mercado（MHNKM）将是主要合作机构。这项研究的玻利维亚参与者包括Co-Pi（在玻利维亚和美国具有双重公民身份），两位学士学位。来自玻利维亚当地大学的学生和MHNKM的女性研究员。所有这些都将全职在研究地点。
