This proposal requests funds to support registration and travel costs for students and postdocs to attend a conference on evolutionary change in response to human-altered environments that will be held Feb 8-11, 2007 at UCLA. The organizers have invited evolutionary biologists to present recent research findings on the effects of habitat degradation, climate change, captive breeding, exploitation, introductions of invasive species, and the spread of pathogens. In breakout working groups, conservation practitioners from state, federal, and international agencies, as well as major non-governmental organizations, will work with the scientists to develop implementation plans that incorporate these findings into specific recommendations. Throughout the meeting, policy makers will provide practical political perspectives and obtain first-hand scientific information regarding legislative needs. The list of participants is suitably diverse, including individuals from science and policy as well as from underrepresented groups. Student participants will be chosen based on the quality of their abstract, quality of supporting statement, and under-represented status of the candidate. The conference has the potential to lead to important policy recommendations and foster future collaborations between participants.

这项提案要求提供资金，以支持学生和博士后参加将于2007年2月8日至11日在加州大学洛杉矶分校举行的关于人类改变环境的进化变化会议的注册和旅行费用。组织者邀请了进化生物学家介绍有关栖息地退化，气候变化，圈养繁殖，开发，引入入侵物种和病原体传播的影响的最新研究结果。在分组工作组中，来自州、联邦和国际机构以及主要非政府组织的保护工作者将与科学家合作制定实施计划，将这些发现纳入具体建议。在整个会议期间，决策者将提供实际的政治观点，并获得有关立法需要的第一手科学资料。 与会者名单适当多样化，包括科学和政策方面的个人以及代表性不足的群体。 学生参与者将根据其摘要的质量，支持声明的质量和候选人的代表性不足的状态进行选择。 会议有可能导致重要的政策建议，并促进与会者之间的未来合作。
