Distributed Graduate Seminars are an innovative approach to advancing science through an integration of research and education. The Dimensions of Biodiversity Distributed Graduate Seminar (DBDGS) focuses on increasing knowledge about biodiversity. The DBDGS will include 15-20 university teams, with international partners on four continents, and more than 100 students chosen from a wide range of disciplines needed to address biodiversity science (e.g., biology, geophysics, economics, anthropology, computer science and health). The scientific goals of the DBDGS include production of an on-line database of the state of knowledge about the taxonomic, genetic, and functional dimensions of biodiversity at the global level and a synthetic review on the integration of these and other dimensions of biodiversity to create a framework for future research and discovery. This DBDGS will have a fundamental impact on this emerging field through its focus on the graduate student community, both nationally and internationally. Distributed seminars provide an intense team-driven multi-disciplinary research experience that is likely to be important in future biodiversity research. Because Core Team members represent both academic and non-governmental organization institutions, graduate students will also be exposed to a range of scientific career pathways. The DBDGS will foster international collaboration among young scientists. Products of the seminar will be of interest to a broad range of researchers and will include open-access databases, student-led publications, and a symposium highlighting DBDGS findings at the Ecological Society of America annual meeting.

分布式研究生研讨会是一种通过研究和教育相结合来推进科学发展的创新方法。生物多样性维度分布式研究生研讨会 (DBDGS) 的重点是增加有关生物多样性的知识。 DBDGS 将包括 15-20 个大学团队，国际合作伙伴遍布四大洲，以及从解决生物多样性科学所需的广泛学科（例如生物学、地球物理学、经济学、人类学、计算机科学和健康）中选出的 100 多名学生。 DBDGS 的科学目标包括建立一个在线数据库，记录全球生物多样性的分类、遗传和功能方面的知识状况，并对生物多样性的这些方面和其他方面的整合进行综合审查，以创建未来研究和发现的框架。 DBDGS 通过关注国内和国际研究生群体，将对这一新兴领域产生根本性影响。分布式研讨会提供了密集的团队驱动的多学科研究经验，这可能对未来的生物多样性研究很重要。由于核心团队成员既代表学术机构又代表非政府组织机构，因此研究生还将接触到一系列科学职业道路。 DBDGS 将促进年轻科学家之间的国际合作。研讨会的产品将引起广泛的研究人员的兴趣，其中包括开放获取数据库、学生主导的出版物以及在美国生态学会年会上重点介绍 DBDGS 研究结果的研讨会。
