Insects and crustaceans represent critical, dominant animal groups (by biomass and species number) in terrestrial and aquatic systems, respectively. Insects and crustaceans were historically grouped under separate taxonomic classes under the Phylum Arthropoda, and for many years it was thought that myriapods might be the closest relatives to insects. New genetic data have made it clear that insects and other hexapods are nested within the crustaceans within the arthropod tree as a clade termed the Pancrustacea. This new evolutionary understanding provides the intellectual motivation to initiate a new focus in evolutionary physiology aimed at understanding commonalities and evolutionary trends in the Pancrustacea. This award will support a new type of symposium designed to promote synthetic collaborations across taxa and disciplines at the Society for Integrative and Comparative Biology meeting at West Palm Beach, Florida, January 2015. In this symposium, researchers who work primarily on insects or crustaceans will work together on both their talks and manuscripts. In addition, each researcher will address a common set of focal, integrative questions in their talks and manuscripts. Audience participation will be a focus of the symposium and a post-seminar workshop. Some participants, including the trainees, may even contribute to the manuscripts as a result of their participation. This explicitly integrative approach to a symposium is novel at SICB and will hopefully galvanize further innovations that promote interdisciplinary synthesis. In addition, this award will support mentoring and scientific development of a large number of diverse junior investigators and trainees.

昆虫和甲壳类动物分别是陆地和水生系统中重要的、优势的动物类群（按生物量和物种数量计算）。昆虫和甲壳类动物在历史上被归为节肢动物门下的不同分类纲，多年来人们认为多足类动物可能是昆虫的近亲。新的遗传数据清楚地表明，昆虫和其他六足动物是在节肢动物树的甲壳类动物中筑巢的，这是一个被称为Pancrustacea的分支。这种新的进化理解提供了智力上的动机，以启动进化生理学的新焦点，旨在了解泛壳科动物的共性和进化趋势。该奖项将支持一种新型的研讨会，旨在促进跨分类群和学科的合成合作，该研讨会将于2015年1月在佛罗里达州西棕榈滩举行的综合与比较生物学学会会议上举行。在这次研讨会上，主要研究昆虫或甲壳类动物的研究人员将在他们的演讲和手稿中合作。此外，每个研究人员将在他们的谈话和手稿中解决一套共同的焦点，综合问题。听众的参与将是专题讨论会和讨论会后讲习班的重点。一些参与者，包括受训者，甚至可能因为他们的参与而对手稿作出贡献。这种明确的研讨会综合方法在SICB是新颖的，并有望激发进一步的创新，促进跨学科综合。此外，该奖项将支持指导和科学发展的大量不同的初级研究人员和学员。
