This grant provides funding for the symposium "Insect Evolution" at the annual meeting of the Society for Integrative and Comparative Biology held in Boston, January 3-7, 2009. The symposium addresses the interface of two active fields in comparative biology: the study of evolution and advances in physiological ecology. Historically, the understanding of the pattern of evolution in insects was based on data from fossils and comparative anatomy. Recently, molecular data have provided new insights and new hypotheses about pattern and process in insect evolution. For example, new information has arisen regarding the relationships between different groups of insects. In this symposium, researchers will present talks addressing how new evolutionary insights inform the understanding of respiration, flight, social structure, cuticle, diurnal clocks, osmoregulation and vision in the insects. Substantial insights will be gained by the coming together of researchers in these two vibrant fields. The topics will also be of great interest to a listening audience composed of researchers and teachers in this broad and integrative scientific society. The symposium will broaden its impact by including a diverse program of presenters, including speakers at early stages of their careers, international speakers, female speakers, and speakers who are members of under-represented groups in the sciences.

该赠款在2009年1月3日至7日在波士顿举行的综合和比较生物学协会年会上为研讨会的“昆虫进化”提供了资金。该研讨会涉及比较生物学中两个活性领域的界面：生理生态学进化和进步的研究研究。 从历史上看，对昆虫进化模式的理解是基于化石和比较解剖结构的数据。 最近，分子数据提供了有关昆虫进化模式和过程的新见解和新的假设。 例如，关于不同昆虫群之间关系的新信息。 在本次研讨会上，研究人员将进行演讲，以解决新的进化见解如何为昆虫中呼吸，飞行，社会结构，角质层，昼夜时钟，末日，渗透调节和视力的理解提供理解。 在这两个充满活力的领域中，研究人员的融合将获得实质性的见解。 在这个广泛而综合的科学社会中，由研究人员和老师组成的听众也将引起主题的极大兴趣。研讨会将通过包括一系列演讲者计划，包括在其职业生涯的早期，国际发言人，女演讲者和演讲者以及科学中代表性不足群体的成员的演讲者中，扩大其影响。
