This dissertation enhancement award will provide support for doctoral student Mr. Timothy Bonebrake, to conduct research on microclimate effects on ecophysiology and evolution within a checkerspot butterfly population in a broad geographic range in El Salvador, under the guidance of Drs. Carol Boggs and Paul Ehrlich, of Stanford University. Data will be gathered through biophysical modeling, thermocouple experimentation and genetic analysis. Field work will be based near the El Imposible National Park in El Salvador, with a strong international collaboration between the U.S. investigators and El Salvadoran ecologists Dr. Oliver Komar (Salvanatura) and Dr. Francisco Serrano (Bioproductores). Results will be compared to past and present research in Costa Rica and North America, and will be disseminated through a Stanford University bilingual website. The research will enhance current biodiversity inventory efforts and monitoring capacity in an area where there is a dearth of empirical data. A strong international collaboration will be fostered between U.S. researchers and those in El Salvador. Research on anthropogenic effects on biodiversity will benefit both the U.S. and El Salvador.

该论文增强奖将为博士生Timothy Bonebrake先生提供支持，在斯坦福大学的Carol Boggs和Paul埃利希博士的指导下，在萨尔瓦多萨尔瓦多广泛的地理范围内进行小气候对生态生理学和进化的影响的研究。将通过生物物理建模、热电偶实验和遗传分析收集数据。 实地工作将在萨尔瓦多萨尔瓦多的El Imposible国家公园附近进行，美国调查人员与萨尔瓦多生态学家奥利弗科马尔博士（萨尔瓦纳图拉）和弗朗西斯科塞拉诺博士（生物产品）之间进行了强有力的国际合作。研究结果将与哥斯达黎加和北美过去和现在的研究结果进行比较，并将通过斯坦福大学的双语网站传播。这项研究将加强目前在缺乏经验数据的领域开展的生物多样性清查工作和监测能力。美国研究人员和萨尔瓦多的研究人员将加强国际合作。研究人类活动对生物多样性的影响将使美国和萨尔瓦多受益。
