NSF Postdoctoral Fellowships in Biology combine research and training components to prepare young scientists for careers in emerging areas where biology intersects with other scientific disciplines, in this case with mathematics and physical sciences. The Fellows are expected to lead the nation?s scientific workforce of the future. This fellowship to John A. Marino supports research and training linking empirical and theoretical approaches to study and enhance ecological inference and forecasting, with applications to critical threats facing Great Lakes fisheries. The host institutions for this fellowship are Michigan State University and the University of Michigan, and the sponsoring scientists are Drs. Scott Peacor and Edward Ionides. Training goals include learning new analytical approaches and tools. Outreach efforts includes students and also non-government organizations, the public, fisheries managers, the commercial fishing and recreation industries, and policy makers.Inference and prediction of population dynamics and species interactions are major ecological research goals, and recent methodological advances have vastly improved approaches to meet these goals. However, these methodologies have not yet been widely applied or well adapted for broad use in ecological research. This research develops an inference framework that has provided new and valuable insights in human disease for use more broadly in ecological research, especially with respect to aquatic ecosystems - fitting theoretical models of species interactions to ecological time series data. Using this approach, two critical problems affecting fisheries in the Laurentian Great Lakes are addressed: invasive species and global climate change. Specifically, the project examines hypothesized interactive effects on important prey fishes of two potential stresses: two major invasive species (dreissenid mussels and the spiny water flea, Bythotrephes longimanus), and the joint effects of the water flea and climate change.

NSF生物学博士后研究金将联合收割机研究和培训部分结合起来，为年轻科学家在生物学与其他科学学科交叉的新兴领域的职业生涯做好准备，在这种情况下，与数学和物理科学。 研究员们有望领导国家？未来的科学劳动力。 这个奖学金给约翰·A.马里诺支持将经验和理论方法结合起来的研究和培训，以研究和加强生态推断和预测，并将其应用于五大湖渔业面临的重大威胁。 该研究金的主办机构是密歇根州立大学和密歇根大学，赞助科学家是Scott Alfred博士和Edward Ionides博士。 培训目标包括学习新的分析方法和工具。 外联工作包括学生和非政府组织，公众，渔业管理人员，商业捕鱼和娱乐业，以及政策制定者。人口动态和物种相互作用的推断和预测是主要的生态研究目标，最近的方法进步大大提高了方法，以满足这些目标。然而，这些方法尚未被广泛应用或很好地适应广泛使用的生态研究。这项研究开发了一个推理框架，为人类疾病提供了新的和有价值的见解，可更广泛地用于生态学研究，特别是在水生生态系统方面-将物种相互作用的理论模型与生态时间序列数据拟合。使用这种方法，两个关键问题影响渔业在劳伦特五大湖解决：入侵物种和全球气候变化。具体而言，该项目研究了两种潜在压力对重要猎物鱼类的假设互动影响：两种主要入侵物种（dreissenid贻贝和多刺水蚤，Bythotrephes longimanus），以及水蚤和气候变化的联合影响。
