Symposium Animal Behavior Disease Ecology

项目摘要

Animal behavior plays a central role in the transmission of parasites and pathogens. Likewise, parasites are crucial drivers of animal behavior. Over the past few decades, disease ecology has been one of the fastest growing sub-disciplines of ecology. Importantly, animal behaviorists have played a crucial role in developing some fundamental ideas that impinge on this field. Building on a number of theoretical and technical advances throughout the last decade, we will host a symposium on Animal Behavior and Disease Ecology: Past, Present, and Future at the 2014 Animal Behavior Society meeting to bring together traditional animal behaviorists and disease ecologists interested in behavior to explore emerging topics and points of synthesis between the two fields.The symposium will identify important new research directions at the interface of animal behavior and disease ecology including the ways in which behavior affects host exposure and susceptibility to infection and parasite transmission dynamics, as well as means by which parasites shape patterns of animal behavior in both ecological and evolutionary time. It will provide a platform for professional development outreach to graduate and undergraduate students attending the meeting. Outreach activities will provide students with information on how to get started in research that combines behavior with disease ecology, and provide a venue for students to make connections with experts whose work firmly integrates the two fields.

动物行为在寄生虫和病原体的传播中起着核心作用。同样，寄生虫也是动物行为的关键驱动因素。在过去的几十年里，疾病生态学已经成为生态学发展最快的分支学科之一。重要的是，动物行为学家在发展影响这一领域的一些基本思想方面发挥了至关重要的作用。在过去十年的理论和技术进步的基础上，我们将在2014年动物行为学会会议上举办一个关于动物行为和疾病生态学的研讨会：过去，现在和未来，将传统的动物行为学家和对行为感兴趣的疾病生态学家聚集在一起，探索两个领域之间的新兴主题和综合点。本次研讨会将确定动物行为和疾病生态学领域的重要新研究方向，包括行为影响宿主暴露和对感染易感性的方式以及寄生虫传播动力学，以及寄生虫在生态和进化时间内塑造动物行为模式的手段。它将为参加会议的研究生和本科生提供一个专业发展拓展的平台。外展活动将为学生提供如何开始将行为与疾病生态学相结合的研究的信息，并为学生提供一个与将这两个领域紧密结合的专家建立联系的场所。
