Habitats around the globe are increasingly impacted by anthropogenic activities that alter the climate, introduce species, and increase pollution. Understanding the impacts of global change on the distribution and abundance of organisms in the context of their habitats is at the forefront of integrative organismal biology. Biologists working to understand how the distribution of organisms will be impacted by biotic and abiotic habitat changes have long used carefully controlled laboratory experiments that manipulate a single environmental variable (e.g., habitat temperature) to determine some aspect of organismal performance (e.g., temperature tolerance). Those performance parameters are subsequently used to infer ecological responses. The majority of studies done by physiologists examine one environmental variable at a time, yet in nature organisms are simultaneously exposed to multiple types of environmental variables, including habitat shifts that may affect different physiological systems within an organism. Whether those multiple shifts in environmental variables have an additive, an antagonistic, or a non-linear synergistic effect on performance is a critical issue to understand in order to properly link ecological responses to simultaneous shifts in multiple habitat characteristics. This grant will fund a symposium at the 2013 Society for Integrative and Comparative Biology meeting in San Francisco that will focus on physiological studies where multiple environmental variables are simultaneously examined to test the additive-antagonistic-synergistic response possibilities. By bringing together leading researchers, the PIs hope to establish the necessary next steps to increase our ability to predict how organisms respond to a multivariate changing environment. It is expected that this symposium will establish novel collaborations among researchers actively investigating physiological responses to a multivariate environment, and broaden the number of researchers conducting such studies. Speakers in the symposium are engaged in research on insects, reptiles, freshwater and marine fish, and marine invertebrates, and study environmental variables including temperature, oxygen, acidification, salinity, desiccation, altitude, latitude, pollution, disease, and physical forcing (flow/turbulence). Recruitment of underrepresented minority participants will be emphasized by the PIs to all of the symposium participants. Merit-based travel awards will be provided to junior colleagues to support their participation in a contributed paper session linked to the symposium. Presentation manuscripts will be published in the SICB journal Integrative and Comparative Biology (http://icb.oxfordjournals.org/).

地球仪周围的植被越来越多地受到人类活动的影响，这些活动改变了气候，引入了物种，增加了污染。 了解全球变化对生物在其栖息地范围内的分布和丰度的影响是综合生物学的前沿。生物学家致力于了解生物的分布将如何受到生物和非生物栖息地变化的影响，长期以来一直使用精心控制的实验室实验来操纵单一的环境变量（例如，栖息地温度）以确定生物体性能的某些方面（例如，温度耐受性）。 这些性能参数随后被用来推断生态反应。生理学家所做的大多数研究都是一次检查一个环境变量，但在自然界中，生物体同时暴露于多种类型的环境变量，包括可能影响生物体内不同生理系统的栖息地变化。 无论这些环境变量的多重变化有一个添加剂，拮抗剂，或非线性协同效应的性能是一个关键问题，以了解，以正确地链接生态响应多个栖息地特征的同时变化。这笔赠款将资助2013年在旧金山弗朗西斯科举行的综合与比较生物学学会会议上的一个研讨会，该研讨会将重点关注生理学研究，同时检查多个环境变量，以测试相加-拮抗-协同反应的可能性。 通过汇集领先的研究人员，PI希望建立必要的下一步措施，以提高我们预测生物体如何应对多元变化环境的能力。 预计这次研讨会将建立积极研究对多元环境的生理反应的研究人员之间的新合作，并扩大进行此类研究的研究人员的数量。 研讨会的发言者从事昆虫，爬行动物，淡水和海洋鱼类以及海洋无脊椎动物的研究，并研究环境变量，包括温度，氧气，酸化，盐度，干燥，海拔，纬度，污染，疾病和物理强迫（流动/湍流）。 方案执行主任将向所有专题讨论会与会者强调征聘代表性不足的少数群体与会者的问题。 将向初级同事提供基于成绩的旅行奖励，以支持他们参加与专题讨论会有关的投稿会议。演讲稿将发表在SICB期刊《综合与比较生物学》（http：//icb.oxfordjournals.org/）上。
