Meeting: Evolutionary Impacts of Seasonality; a Symposium for the Annual Meeting of SICB, New Orleans, LA, Jan 4-8 2017

非技术：从每年的繁殖季节到作物种植和收获，再到经济，季节的变化驱动着地球仪的生物节律。因此，对季节性生物的破坏将对人类健康和福祉产生严重影响。了解生物体如何应对季节性是生理学，生态学和行为学研究的主要目标。我们提出了一个研讨会，汇集了来自这些领域的观点，特别关注过去和未来的季节性变化的进化反应。跨越子学科的综合研究已被证明可以以狭隘的研究所不能的方式提供变革性的发现。拟议的专题讨论会将促进这种综合研究，将来自不同领域的研究人员聚集在一起，研究从植物到哺乳动物的生物，综合目前关于生物季节性的知识，并确定知识方面的重要差距和跨领域异花授粉的机会。研讨会将于2017年1月在美国新奥尔良举行的综合与比较生物学学会（SICB）年会上举行，并将为SICB杂志《综合与比较生物学》（ICB）的一期撰写手稿。在会议之前，组织者将远程协调一组与会者起草一份综合审查文件。会议期间，与会者将介绍自己的研究成果，并在主办的研讨会上继续起草综合文件。该研讨会还将有助于促进新的跨学科研究。最后，参与者将在ICB的特刊上发表他们的个人研究以及评论论文。

Non Technical: Changing of the seasons drives biological rhythms across the globe, from annual breeding seasons, to crop planting and harvest, to economics. Thus, disruptions to seasonal biology will have serious impacts on human health and well-being. Understanding how organisms respond to seasonality is a major goal of research spanning physiology, ecology, and behavior. We propose a symposium bringing together perspectives from each of these fields, with a particular focus on evolutionary responses to past and future changes in seasonality. Integrative research spanning sub disciplines has proven to deliver transformative discoveries in a way that narrowly focused research cannot. The proposed symposium will facilitate such integrative research by bringing together researchers from across fields, working on organisms ranging from plants to mammals, to synthesize the current state of knowledge on biological seasonality and to identify important gaps in knowledge and opportunities for cross-pollination across fields.Technical: The symposium will be hosted at the January 2017 annual meeting of the Society of Integrative and Comparative Biology (SICB) in New Orleans, USA, and will produce manuscripts for an issue of the SICB journal Integrative and Comparative Biology (ICB). Prior to the conference, the organizers will remotely coordinate the drafting of a synthetic review paper by a group of participants. During the meeting, participants will present their own research and continue drafting the synthesis paper during a hosted workshop. This workshop will also serve to facilitate new, cross-disciplinary research. Finally, participants will publish their individual research alongside the review paper in a special issue of ICB.
